Itchy legs

[Mollyd79]

Hi 22 weeks pregnant got really itchy legs at night. Any suggestions what I can do? Thanks

I'd have a chat with your midwife to make sure it isn't a sign of anything more serious. If it is just dry skin (I get this quite a bit especially in the winter) I find body butters work very well to moisturise and relieve the itch.

Speak to your midwife as it could be cholestasis. I had it during pregnancy (started slightly later than you) and it basically means your liver stops working properly. It can be very dangerous if untreated. I was induced at 37 weeks due to it. Good luck!

Forgot to say it causes really itchy skin, so worth getting checked.

Is it itchy skin or restless legs syndrome.
If the former, vitamin e oil applied to skin can help, if the latter, you could be anaemic so worth asking your midwife about checking your iron levels, and taking iron supplements.
