itchy and annoyed

Omg... I am 13 weeks and I am horribly itchy! The inside of my upper arms, the inside of my thighs, my stomach, my sides, my hips, and under my breast itch so bad I can barely stand it anymore! I tried hydrocortisone cream, but that did nothing for me! Does anyone have suggestions on what I can to to relieve it, or has anyone else had this and found something that works? And what could be causing this? Ugh

I don't mean to alarm you, but you should mention this to your doctor. I had severe itching on the palms of my hands and soles of my feet around 20 weeks and my doctor sent me for lab testing to see if I had Cholestasis. I luckily did not, but it never hurts to mention these types of things at your OB appointments. When I told my doctor and he reacted with doing testing, I was suprised. Never hurts to be on the safe side :) Best of luck!
