my belly button area is so itchy nothing helps
nowhere else on my body/ bump is itchy just my belly button and about an inch to the let of it its so itchy its exactly in this spot where its been painful to tense my stomach for a few weeks felt like a bruise under my skin I rang the non urn get triage about the pain they didnt seem concerned now I still have that pain under the skin, but im so itchy there now
I know it's probable just skin stretching but Inst is a bad sign to be really itchy when pregnant ?

i remember there always being a risk it was cholestasis which is a liver condition if you were very itchy in pregnancy, so definitely contacting your midwife for a check over. Sympathies, it sounds horrible.

How pregnant are you? I had a condition you get get in late pregnancy which caused itching. I was miserable for the last month or so, the doctor did give me steroid cream which helped. Mite be worth seeing your GP.

I had shingles during my pregnancy and my tummy was very itchy for several weeks.

im 26 weeks, its not constant its mainly triggered when I itch it once
problem is its impossible to contact my midwife, my gp do not let me speak to her ever theyre so horrible, the community midwife email never answered ever. I send 3 emails over past few weeks never replied, only way I can is to contact the non urgent number but they always seem like everything's an inconvenienceto them and ur bothering them they never seem bothered unless bleeding is happening..

im not too worried as its not tooo bad o guess just in one small area no rash etc
