I'm 38 weeks and I've also been itching like crazy all over for two weeks. I called my doctor today and I have to go in tomorrow for blood work and to be put on a monitor. It could be cholestasis.

Itching is normal. With swelling and stretching. However. If your skin turns red.. or hes red and white splotches.. or continues over a week.. call. They will do blood work to test for cholestasis. Thats a were the liver partially stops working in pregnancy due to not making as many white blood cells. You can also watch your pee color.. really dark pee is a sign of that too!

Means your skin is stretching. If your getting stretch marks then scratching it will make them worse.
