really itchy skin

So i've been itching really bad everywhere . Like scratching to death & i talk to a nurse she said she didnt think it had anything to do with the pregnacy . Then i went to the emergency room & they said its just a rash & gave me benadryl , but nothing is working . Lotions , itch cream , nothing . Could i have SCABIES ?

I developed eczema during my first pregnancy and it was really itchy! I read that many women suddenly get it during pregnancy. Maybe that's it? I had to use a steroid cream very sparingly and then use eczema lotion daily after that

Could be puppps or cholestasis (which can be dangerous). Get your doctor to check your liver and what not.

If you are taking the fish oil pills with your prenatal that may be the problem. I had that same problem & I stopped taking those just only take the prenatal now

I have the same and also happened with my last pregnancy. I used anti itch cream. It relieves it a bit.
