itchy skin!

Anyone else having a problem with this? I literally am scratching so much that I look like a meth-head. Even my eyelids are itching! I've tried oatmeal baths, all different kinds of lotions..nothing is helping me. I am 17+3, is anyone else experiencing/has experienced this?

Welcome back acline :) Have you tried using Neosporin? Because it might just be really bad dry skin. I have it on my hands and arms so I put Neosporin on every night and its usually gone by morning. Then I use Aveeno lotion to keep it away during the day.

I was literally just complaining about this to my fiance lol. My skin has been really itchy. Ill be 19 weeks tomorrow. The one thing that has helped a little is Johnsons baby lotion. I put it in the fridge for a few mins to get it cold, its really relieving. Hope this helps! :)

I have the same problem! Try taking baths with baby oil in them and Aveeno lotion when you wake up and before you go to bed. It has given me some relief.

Actually WITH a rash is better, haha, without a rash is when it's a worry that it's a liver problem, do you have eczema? That gets worse with pregnancy, but definitely ask your doctor!

It was gradual, it started on my belly and back, now I have a rash on my boobs and neck...even my legs are itching. I go to my OB tomorrow so I'll see what she says. I hope it's not my liver!

I think if it's intense and all over your body it can be something to do with your liver (not 100% sure though). Was it gradual or did it start all of the sudden? I would keep an eye on it for sure though!
