Yes!! When your pregnant your skin gets extra dry (for many woman) it happened to me as well. And you might not want to scratch your stomatch that causes stretch marks that's the #1 way to get stretch marks.

It could be eczema that's what happen to me and I went to the dermatologist. But eczema looks like hives in a way and mine spread where ever I itched

I've had itching since early on. I'm now 20 weeks and I still get it some of the time. My skin is very dry. Just try not to use any soaps or perfumes that may irritate your skin.

Yes I know stretch marks are genetic but they also can come from itching too

I've been having the same itching problem just on the outer thighs and arms. Im waitning to see my dr next week to get it checked out. I was reading something called cholestasis of pregnancy which is an intense itching on hands and feet but sometimes it spreads throughout the body.  Hopefully its nothing.
