If too itchy, maybe let your GP knows and also let him know you are pregnant. I have hives, is annoying. Then GP prescribed me medicine, at least I can sleep better at night. My gynae is aware, also prescribe the same medicine too in case I need it. Temporarily, can use calamine solution to calm the skin down, which can buy from the counter. My GP also prescribe it to me.

Hi, Maybe you can search about Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP)? Based on what i've read, one of the symptoms is severe itchiness in hands and feet. You can also check if you experience other symptoms.

Let the gynae know, they can presribe u lotion that u can use. I had very bad itch too. suggested me to change to baby bath. Cos very gentle to skin. Now I'm alot better.

Maybe skin is dry.. Just apply lotion and keep it moisturised.

Poor thing... Wash with salt water?
