I went through the same kind of thing, its pretty common... mine was mainly my belly, breasts, legs... pretty much everywhere that you`re skin is stretching. Use creams with vitamin e, anything that hydrates everyday... and aloe is a good quick fix for soothing. It will get better.
I was the same way arounf 12 13 weeks i was itchy everywhere but it was maily after I took a shower and laid down I just used more mosturizing soap and loation it hlped a bit I guess still sometimes be itchy cant really say why this happens
Its common apparently. Part of it is beccause of the stretching of your skin (particularly if your breasts, hips, and stomach are itchy) but ive also heard that its because of the hormones that you can get really itchy. use a really good moisturizer especially when you get out of the shower.
Usually it means that ur skin in just stretching BUT
if it gets really bad and keeps happening, and there is no sign of a rash etc, just get it checked becasue it can mean kidney problems!
I am the same way. I get comfortable at night time and am constantly itching!! It is so frustrating!! Also, my ARMPITS have been severely itchy and it is driving me nuts!!!
