Itchy bump at third trimester

Hello. Im at W32 now.. I have been experiencing severe itch but only at night. Usually it last 1-2 hours and may spread to legs and arms. Does any other mum experience this too? I applied a lot of oil to moisturise the bump. Bio oil, clarins, mama’s choice stretch mark serum and cream… but it is still super itchy! Been experiencing this since W28 or so. #adviceplease #FTM

I had itchiness over my tummy and arms too, came with rashes after I scratched them. Then I used the calamine lotion to soothe the itchiness temporarily as recommended by my gynae. I’ll apply skin moisturiser after 30 minutes to ensure I got my skin moistured, and it got better after 2 weeks But if the itch really intolerable, can try to take piriton (antihistamine), this was advised by my gynae, hope these helps!

I had similar… I had rash only on feet and went to see dr at GP clinic as I was suspecting it was the antibiotics medicine that I was eating to contain my sore throat. But GP dr says its just the pregnancy swell rash and its quite common… He gave me some rash cream to apply and it stops the itching and rashes were gone in few days.

My doctor gave me antihistamine when it got very bad
