Itching

You need to tell your dr right away. Sometimes it could be that your liver is producing too many bile acids. There is a specific blood test to check that. Also if you oversee it, it could be dangerous for the baby. If your bile acids are high you would need to see a high risk dr. Hopefully thid helped. (:

Some ladies do get some itching on the tummy with it stretching but not all over and really itchy this can be a sign of obstetric cholestasis , I had this with my daughter. My hands and feet were the most itchy and it was horrible , it was also worse at night. I would definitely get in touch with your midwife and she will run a blood test to check the bile acids in the blood. But don't worry I had a healthy baby girl and am pregnant again :)) x

Ya its normal just your skin growing and stretching.  Don't itch it will give u stretch marks so I've heard. Use lots of tummy butter and lotion it will help
