Itchy skin??

Does anyone else notice that they are getting dry, itchy skin?? Or like certain areas, almost like rashes? I don't know what it is. I have even noticed since the beginning of this pregnancy, my cheeks have gotten rosey (like rosatia almost), which I never had an issue with before. But a certain part of my belly, left knee, and right upper arm (on the side/underneath part), areas get real itchy and when I look, its a little rashy. I don't know if this is pregnancy related or if I should be checked out...I've never had any issues like this previously :( And no, I haven't come into contact with poison ivy or anything lol.

I am getting really itchy too!! Mostly my palms and belly. So annoying! Maybe mention it at your next appt and see what your dr suggests?

Itchy belly here too! It's the winter skin for sure, I am too lazy for moisturizer.

Thanks, I think I will mention it at my next appointment...

haha, I know, the air here has been really dry (which is unusual), but I wash my hand so much as it is, and I try to keep lotion on them, but I swear, each time I put lotion on, I have to either pee (and wash hands again) or clean up something from one of my boys and again wash hands, and I forget to reapply LOL...vicious cycle!! My hands are horriblly cracking...but thats not whats concerning me (I know why that is happening), its the 3 spots that almost feel like a rash...but I will talk to my dr. hope your guys' itching stops soon!!!

I have it on my calfs and thighs. My ob said it's just dry skin and to use lots of lotion.

If the itch gets worse I recommend to get your liver function tested to rule out cholestasis of pregnancy, I know is rare but I´ve seen it and it happens, here is a APA link for more info, good luck!!

Omg!

I seem to have all these symptoms! Excepting I don't think the itching is that awful but enough to be noticed! Also I have noticed the loss of appetite and exhaustion. And the urine coloration!

Thanks for the info. I clicked on it, and the only symptom I have is itching, and its not really hands or feet, its 3 spots...my belly, side of knee, and under side of upper arm...and then there is fatigue, but I think its safe to say thats from having 2 little ones on top of being in my third trimester and not sleeping much at night. LOL..but I will be talking with my OB. THanks ladies :)

You're welcome! I hope that's not what you have but it's always wise to be on the safe side! ;)

The sides of my belly are uber itchy, but of course I am already stretched to the max now....

:) thanks ladies! And yea, Scarlett, I would say so!! LOL

Thanks for the link! I read through it and I dont think I can get it. I dont have a gallbladder.
