Itching ... :/

[Sugar10]

I'm 15 weeks. Hands and feet are incredibly itchy! It can be unbearable! Palms of hands mainly, and my feet are so hot too. I've had to remove my rings because it was irritating. Sometimes my legs have been itchy too but not as much. I have my 16 week appt Monday, so I'm going to mention it. Has anyone else had this? I've heard of OC, but hoping it's just hormones, and it calms down! xx

I would defo mention it to your midwife...I had itching but it was all over my bump, chest and legs, I must have been around 16 weeks too...it was unbearable! I used every moisturiser going, but went into holland and Barrett and they recommended a hemp one. Quite expensive but it either worked or cleared up, I shall never know!

Thanks lea. I'll see what she says on Monday. Never had this in other pregnancies. Have had the bump itching where it's all stretching and used cocoa butter which helped that. But my hands and feet are just unbearable!

I've got really bad itching all over my legs! Have to take trousers off as soon as home as it's unbearable! Going on holiday with in laws on Saturday and worried I can't just sit around in my pants to relieve itching. Will mention to midwife on Friday x
