So I'm dying. Constantly itching my hands, arms, ankles, feet everything. Like I'm having an allergic reaction. What is this. How do I make it stop. What could it be from. Haven't changed anything n I'm 32 weeks.

I have the same thing I tried everything Benadryl, calymine lotion, avenoo extra dry skin lotion,  soaking in oat meal bath, and I even tried a anti fungal cream my Dr prescribed and nothing works. Mine gets worse at night, my Dr said some women just get it. Its called the pregnancy itch. Only thing thats helped me is taking Luke warm baths in the morning and right before I go to bed. Hot water makes it worse.

I read somewhere that itching is normal, but the way you describe it doesn't sound normal to me. Have you tried applying lotion to those parts?
