Extreme itchiness without a rash that doesn't respond to the usual measures is sometimes cholestasis of pregnancy, and needs to be treated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-itchy-all-of-the-sudden#post-101094 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 19:37:07 +0000 heffalump 101094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Itchy belly sucks! I think it's the skin stretching. I tried potion but nothing worked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-itchy-all-of-the-sudden#post-101092 Sat, 24 Mar 2012 19:33:05 +0000 bpcmarj 101092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, so I am at 36 weeks and over the last couple of days my skin is sooooo itchy all of the sudden! I have been taking cool showers, drinking lots of water, and using lotion twice a day. Then I wake up in the middle of the night itching my belly or breasts until they are almost raw. What gives? Is this normal? Any recommendations on a good lotion to use? I just bought the st. ives soothing one (which I also use the body wash), it has oatmeal and other things that are supposed to soothe dry, itchy skin. </p>
