I've been very itchy too! I wake up in the middle of the night scratching away. I used cocoa butter the other night and felt some relief. I need to buy more.

Re: I'm SO itchy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, I too was very itchy in the beginning. EVERYTHING itched plus! I am now in my 18th week and it pretty much went down to just my hands and feet itching. My doctor did a test that has something to do with the bile in the liver, that can cause the itching. You should ask you doctor to check it out for you. It usually happens later in pregnancy, but he checked and I was fine. They did recommend me to a dermatologist, but I never called as the itching started to get tolerable. Good luck and I hope it gets better for you. Mindy

It's not TOO bad during the day, but HORRIBLE at night. I can't sleep! And it's in like 4 or 5 different places. I feel like a gorilla always scratching myself

I couldn't take it anymore and called the Dr. She said to take oatmeal baths and I can take Benadryl. Hope it works!

I was just going to say to take oatmeal baths! Try Aveeno! It's great.

Re: I'm SO itchy!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have heard of an itchy rash called PUPPS that can happen during pregnancy. Maybe you should call the dr, and mention it and look it up online to see if your symptoms match. I know it only goes away with delivery.
