Hi there.  Oh, that is the worst!  I had the terrible itching with my first pregnancy.  Mine was in specific areas---  the palms of my hands and on my feet.  I lived in a brick house and would scrape my hands over the brick to itch it.  Like, how pathetic!  My doctor said that this happens with pregnancy sometimes.  They told me to put Cortaid or a generic brand of that on my palms of hands and bottoms of feet.  It helped a little bit but it was still there some.  I don't know if that is the kind of itching you are talking about.  But it drove me nuts.  It would wake me up because of my hands and feet itching and I could get no relief.  the cream helped a little.  hang in there hon

I have the same problem! Literally nothing helps. I've tried bio oil, palmers cocoa butter, aveeno, lotion, and no relief! My doc told me ice and to air it out. I try but still scratch raw :/
