Itching at 5/6 weeks pregnant

Since last night I have been itchy! Mostly my scalp and then random parts over my body too. Is this a normal thing in early pregnancy? I didn't have it with my 1st. I've read about obstetric cholestasis but isn't it too early for that? (mines not severe itchiness). I'm not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me too and is making me itch more 😬
Has anyone experienced itchiness early on?

I had this as well !!!
Kept me awake at night itching legs, feet arms everywhere!
After about 2 weeks I got worried and asked for the liver disease blood test, it came back clear and they said it was very common in pregnancy to have itchy skin x
