Aargh, itching

17 weeks pregnant with DC3 and I'm stupidly itchy, especially at night and especially the soles of my feet, but generally everywhere. Didn't have anything similar with either of the other two.
Have of course Googled, and knew vaguely about OC but I don't fall into any of the at risk groups and surely I'm way too early to get it?
Any recommendations for tackling the itching?

You don't have to be 'at risk' and can develop OC at any stage.
Get seen and have your bloods checked.

Yes, get checked. Friend had this, fortunately because she had been checked they were monitoring her and were ready/prepared in case it got serious enough to need baby to be delivered early.

I was the same, was checked and all fine. But itched until I had my baby, I was told some people just do. Eurax was quite good at relieving it

Thanks, I know you're right, just wanted a nice uncomplicated pregnancy! Will phone MW and slather on the Eurax - think I have some from when the DSs had the pox.
