Its true that some health conditions are more prominent in different races.  Each race has its own prominent health problems......but ive never heard about pregnancy symptoms having to with race...

Itching is a symptom of pregnancy due to hormonal changes. If you haven't already try lotions like Aveeno, cetaphil, or Eucerin. They can be a bit pricey but they are made specifically for dry and/or itchy skin. Also wiping your legs with a cold wet/damp towel may help temporarily. I have eczema so I'm use to itchy skin.
