Can't stop scratching!!!!

[MrsMonkeyBear]

I'm 7 weeks and have the worlds itchiest boobs, back and legs. I've been wearing loose clothing and not changed anything I use, washing powder, shower gel etc. anyone got any ideas??? Don't want to have to phone my GP, the receptionists at the surgery are like angry Yorkshire terriers.

Hi I had incredibly itchy legs in the first trimester and now at 29 weeks they've come back! I find aftersun is good because it's soothing but nothing gets rid of it completely:(

I think it's to do with hormones.

Thanks for the response. I am currently wrapped in the duvet, actually sitting on it so I can't scratch my legs. It's only in the evenings which is even more odd. X x x

Your friend is aloe Vera gel and lots of it :). I suffer from general pregnancy itching, it's rather bad in the first tri, calms down in the 2nd and then comes back again in the third. Do mention the itching to your midwife as there is a condition that affects the liver where itching is a big symptom.

I know how you feel Mrs Monkeybear, I was nearly crying with the itchiness yesterday.

itchiness can be obstetric choleostasis non?

here

it's mostly last trimester, according to that

Look up PUPPs. Usually starts towards the end of pg though

I thought of that Chaffinch but from what I understand it's just my hormones. From what I remember my sister said she was like this during her first trimester. I ended up in the bath at 3am to try and ease it. X x x

I had this with my legs weeks 4-6. Just stopped after that so if can sit it out it should ease!
