Itching

[susan_1981]

I'm currently TTC but just wanted to post in here as I'm wondering if itching is a sign of pregnancy. My boobs and back (especially my back) are really, really itching. I keep getting my husband to give my back a good scratch. I haven't changed my washing powder or soaps so I don't think it's an allergic reaction.

I cant say that ive had it myself, or have heard of it being a symptom but you never know, everyone's bodies react in different ways to the pregnancy hormone.

Good luck I hope you get your BFP soon

Thanks. I have read that you have experience itchy boobs and stomach due to the stretching of the skin and increased blood supply but not an itchy back. I'm going to test at the weekend, although it might be too early as I will only be 10dpo on Saturday.

I think the itchy boobs/tummy is most common in the quite advanced stages too as the skin doesnt stretch until quite a bit later on when the bump starts expanding.
