Don't think its that, here is what I found:
Papular dermatitis of pregnancy
Abnormal blood hormone levels are linked with this disorder especially chronically raised levels of gonadotrophins (hormones produced by the pituitary gland of the brain, and which regulate sex hormone levels) and lowered cortisol and oestrogen levels.
Symptoms and signs
What: an extremely itchy rash consisting of red, raised spots that look like insect bites. Crusts (scabs) cover some of these spots. The spots do not collect in groups.
Where: all over the body.
When: this rash can erupt at any time during pregnancy and then spots continue to appear until childbirth when they clear rapidly.
Complications
This condition causes no complications in the mother, but studies suggest that fetal death rates are increased.
Treatment
High doses of corticosteroids are necessary
Do you think it could be PUPPS? I know this is more commonly a problem in third trimester, but I think it can start any time, yes?

Thanks, I'll try that. How have you been doing?
Hi, I had that same type of itching in my past pregnancy minus the bumps and my Dr said that it was because of the stretching of the skin and also from it being dry. The only thing that said I could do was keep it moisturized and believe me, everything I tried didn't help either. And if you are scratching, it will only make it worse. So, what I bought this time and I haven't started itching (knock on wood) is Palmers products and I use it faithfully. Also, try not to use alot of harsh soap (i.e dial,zest,etc.) I use dove and take a quick but thorough shower. I find that it has been helping and trust me, I know how you feel. Try these things and let me know if it helps any. Much love.
