Itchy legs

Currently 34 weeks and have such itchy legs on an evening.
I sometimes suffer from restless legs but more often than not it’s this unbearable itchy upper parts of my legs. I scratch but this only settles them for less than a minute and they’re off again! Has anyone else had this problem at all ?

Probably totally fine but give your midwife a call, they may want to do some extra bloods. I had itching in late pregnancy (stomach and hips) and they did some extra blood tests to rule out liver issues. I ended up with sore skin so GP prescribed some cream which helped.

Are you taking any supplements?

I feel your pain! It drove me mad. Cold damp towels helped relive it for me a bit. Good luck!
