34 weeks pregnant

Hi,I am 34weeks. I am currently having itchiness on my legs and hands. Is it normal? Can someone tell me why is it so? Thank you

Normal due to dilated blood vessels to dissipate heat. Because as baby grow bigger, his or her body temperature will rise and contribute to the heat in your body. This may cause some minor heat irritation as blood circulation becomes more active. But, If the itchiness is very bad and constant, such that you cannot stop scratching, then it may be gestational diabetes instead. Please do consult your gynae in next check up.
