Itch everywhere?

Im at 37 weeks and 2 days, and suffering for bloated/water retention legs. But what's with the itch? It's all over my body! Its all over my legs, arms, stomach and i cant deal with this itch. I scratch till it bleeds. Is this normal? I never had any allergy..#1stimemom #pleasehelp #firstbaby #advicepls #itchypregnantbody#pregnancy

Hey mummy! Are there bumps where it itches? If yes, you might have PUPPP rash. It usually goes away after you give birth! I had mine at 36 weeks and sure enough at 38weeks after I gave birth, it went away. I had to endure the crazy itch for two weeks. Tried every remedy and went to see my gynae for medication. Tbh nothing helps 😂 I almost wanted to induce birth cause it was so itchy! But I did end up giving birth early and lucky me it went away as if nothing.

I doubt it was regular stretch mark itch as it was unbearable and bumps started appearing! My doc confirmed it after :( I was prescribed steroid cream, super mild ones but it didn’t help too.
