Intense Itchiness

I'm 9 months and my question: Is intense itchiness normal in the last two months of pregnancy? I itch constantly all over, especially on my feet, wrists, and the sides of my stomach. Is there something wrong?

If you have not delivered yet, you should have your doctor check your liver enzymes and bile acid levels. Severe itching in the 3rd trimester can indicate a liver problem that can be dangerous for the baby. I hope everything works out for you.

i read that those areas are normal to be itchy b/c the swelling and fluid retention causes the skin to stretch which makes for itchy skin. try some lotion with oatmeal in it. and yeah you should call your dr or nurse hotline. they'll tell you if it's anything to worry about.

Yes it's normal try not to scratch because it just increases irritation and causes stretch marks
