I am pregnant and have itchy skin

I am 14 weeks pregnant and have really itchy skin I have scratched my legs so much they burn and are bleeding any suggestions to stop the itching

Answer #1

when I was pregnant I had the same issue. I bathed in aveno oatmeal bath buy at walmart. then I used benadryl creams and when I took showers I left my body wet and put lotion all over then put my clothes on do not dry yourself after showers I even took benadryl dye free an it worked also

Answer #2

I use coconut oil and bath oils and coco butter. I’m 76 months and I also itch like crazy. I keep travel sized lotion on me at all times.

Answer #3

I used any kind of lotion like aveeno or cetaphil for my legs, but on my sides to avoid stretch marks when that time comes for you, I would recommend using vitamin e oil. I waited too long to use the vitamin e oil and I have 3 small stretch marks on each side. Probably about 5 months or so, start using the vitamin e oil and just rub a small amount on each side, because your sides will start to get itchy also from your skin stretching.
