thanx sonia replied. hi,

itching is common in pregnancy, but if it is severe, u MUST inform ur doc coz it cud be a sign of increased bile in the body that can cause pre term labour in some women. sonia replied. hi, i totaaly understand. have been having this annoying itch all over since 2-3 days, am 38 weeks. perhaps it' s a hormonal thing, will get it clarifies by doc and post again. Neetu replied. I have itching of legs(feet)and sometimes hands,stomach specially in the night time..i' m 30 weeks pregnant...anybody with same situation?? Nikitha replied. Dear Shanti,

Sorry to hear that u r having itching ....u know, I have this itching at 15-16th week... I had this itching on upper part of the body,thighs and some times on the belly...and had sleepless nights..

I tried most of the lotions like Aveeno, Oatmeal bath..nothing helped me much..then we went to dermatologist, which was referred by my GYN...Anyway,she has given me a STERIOD cream and one antihistamtic tablets...I put this cream and had this tablet for one day..it went...I thank god for that..Anyway , why dont u talk abt this to some skin specialist...? and did u talk to GYN abt this...? Hope I have given some info to u...it will be better in coming days ....as my GYN told , once baby is delivered , it will go off automatically...so hang in there..let me know..Take Care... gita replied. Dear Shanti,
If you are living in a place where the weather must be dry, use lots of moisturing lotions not just in the night. Hope it gives you relief.
