Itchiness during first trimester
I have been experiencing itchiness everywhere from my scalp to my body to my palms and feet soles. And when I scratch, the itchy areas become bumps like hives. Anyone else experience the same? If so, is this normal?
Hey! I’ve been through something similar during my pregnancy I had intense itching all over, especially at night. My gynae, Dr Regina from GynaeMD Clementi, said it can sometimes be due to hormonal changes but still ran some tests to rule out other causes. It eased up after following her advice and using a prescribed cream.

Okay thank you!!
I have something similar. Avoided scratching (really hard) and put loads of moisturiser helps but not completely healed it! Think it’s normal due to hormones
Okay thank you!!!
Yes! I experienced this on my forearms, keep putting moisturizer and it will go ahead in 1 or 2 weeks. Otherwise can go see gp for anti histamines
Okay! Thank you ☺️
