I often notice wet spots on my pants that are blood stains from itching my legs even in the middle of the night I do it. Just lube up with some really good cream and that should help. I often notice it's worse when I forget to moisturize for like a whole week.

When I was pregnant I had the worst itch and eventually broke out in hives.. Lasted for 4 months! A trip to my OB, Derm, and allergist confirmed it was just part of my body's reaction to pregnancy, I ended up taking zurtec and claritin 2x a day for two weeks before they cleared up and then they reappear end pp for another week.

Grandpa's pine tar soap:

I had horrible itchiness around week 32 and it turns out I had PUPPP which is a pregnancy rash. After using that soap for about a week I was much better. After two weeks the itchiness was all gone. Hope it works for you!

Extreme itchiness in my hands was my first symptom! I read somewhere that it has to do with the increase in Estrogen (if it's not a rash or dry skin related.)

What about using a humidifier? That helped me out quite a bit, too!

mine got really bad around 24 weeks & is mostly legs, torso & upper arms. i use a humidifier & slather myself in cetaphil cream (not the pump version) or cerave but i still can't stand to wear anything other than leggings/sweatpants. so much for the j brand maternity jeans & theory work pants i bought- such a waste of money. in addition to the daytime itching, my nighttime twitchiness seems to technically be restless leg syndrome, which dr google also says is normal.
