Itching all over


I'm itching all over. Its worst on my arms and legs and is driving me absolutely crazy! Its been building up for a day or two now. Has anyone else had anything like this? I haven't changed soap powders or anything like that. Slightly worried I'm going to scratch my skin off

Yes! I've been itching for a couple of weeks! It's mostly my legs and they've been driving me insane! I normally have them waxed, but I've had to start shaving coz I couldn't bare it! I find that as long as I keep them REALLY moisturised, then they're not too bad.
Hope you feel batter soon x x

I've heard that itching is because you're skin is stretching

Shea butter is your friend! Smear it on after a bath and you'll feel a million times better.

Thanks guys!

Am trying the moisturiser route and seems a bit better this morning. I also hope its not my tummy stretching too much at the moment, and can't figure out why my arms would be stretching.

Sent OH off to the pharmacy yesterday and when he told them I was pregnant they wouldn't even sell him calamine lotion without doctors permission - how annoying!

Hope you all feel better soon. Am sure the itching and backache is worse than the nausea of a few weeks ago... and I thought things were meant to get better!
