My hands have been really itchy and sore and red over the past few days especially in between my fingers and it’s a nightmare has anyone else experienced this I am currently 26+2 days thanks.

Could you possibly have scabies? That often presents as bumps, itching and redness between the fingers. Alternatively pregnancy can just make you itchy because of hormones!

Hormones can do this I'm afraid, and the cold weather won't be helping either! Use non scented hand cream regularly and hopefully it gets better. If not, mention it to your midwife for further advice :)

Thanks this my 4th pregnancy and never experienced nothing like it’s horrible and don’t think it’s scabies there’s no bumps or anything just red and no spots either and thank you have some hand cream I have been using to see if it helps any.

Please mention this to your midwife ASAP as it's a symptom of obstetric cholestasis (it probably isn't that, hormones can just make you itchy as PP said!)

Yeah I will mention it to them I don’t think it’s that myself but better to be safe anyways and thank you.
