I'm in my seventh week of pregnancy and have a crazily itchy belly, lower back and nipples. There's no rash or anything, and from googling I believe it to be hormone/blood flow to the uterus-related. It wakes me up in the middle of the night - I wake up scratching. And I spend a lot of time at work trying not to claw at my itchy nips! Tried moisturising, calamine, lanacane... - very little relief.
I'm going to go insane or do some serious damage to my skin if I can't get any relief. Has anyone experienced this? And do you have any tips for coping? I'm desperate - all help will be most gratefully accepted.
