Itching!!!

[Starsinthesky22]

For the last week or so I’ve started feeling more and more itchy especially in later afternoon/ evening/ night. Has anyone else had this in pregnancy? I have seen that it can be caused by Cholestasis of pregnancy but I didn’t have this with my first baby so I am really hoping it is not something like that. Are there any other causes that people know of?! I will contact the midwife tomorrow.

I had a really intense bout of itching around 30 weeks and had alarm bells as previously I'd had similar itching when my liver was being impacted by gallstones pre-pregnancy.

Was triaged into hospital straight away and had bloods and urine tested, nothing wrong at all. Just a weird skin thing.

Fingers crossed yours is the same but deffo see what the MW has to say.

I itched like crazy. Use the body oil that helps with stretch marks. I think it's often caused by the skin adjusting to its new shape! If you're in northern hemisphere, the cold weather is probably making it worse. My skin is itchy (but not visibly dry) and DS' eczema is flaring up.
