As the title says really!
Im 25+5 with baby number 3 and have been really itchy all over my body for the last few days, there's no rash and I haven't changed shower gel/wash powder or anything.

I didn't experience any itching in my first 2 pregnancies, I just want to scratch and fidget all day! its worst in the evenings and a hot bath seems to soothe it temporarily.
I am aware of obstetric cholestasis and have a midwife appointment tomorrow so will mention it then, has anybody had quite severe itching and it not been OC? Are there any other symptoms of OC I should look out for?
and finally does anyone have tips help stop this bloody itch!?

I got really itchy and it turned out to be a non-specific allergy - Piriton sorted it out

It sounds like PUPPS, which I had. It's miserable :-( but when mine got really bad the doctor prescribed steroids, which helped a lot. Also washing in pine tar soap!
