Severely itchy inner thighs

I am 32 weeks pregnant and I have seriously itchy inner thighs to the point of having to rip up my aloe vera plant and apply it...

Anybody else dealing with this?

Ring your maternity triage I can't remember what they call it think it's that. I woke up one day with severe itchiness mine was all over and got diagnosed with obstetric cholestasis. They will do some blood tests to confirm if it is or not.

@bringmearainbow damn all over your inner thighs? Did you have stretch marks there? Was the baby okay?

@Missguidedsmiles I just had the itching all over my body. It could likely be nothing since it's only in that area but you should get it checked out. I didn't get any stretch marks. Baby was fine I got it at 36 weeks and had to go for regular monitoring I was induced at 39 weeks in the end.

I was diagnosed with cholestasis mid labour. I'd seen signs warning of itching on hands and feet but only had itching on my belly so didn't mention it until 40+ weeks. The midwife did a blood test and the results did t come back until I was in labour. Baby was okay but the doctors were on high alert. Mention it to the midwife and ask for blood test just to rule it out for peace of mind.
