15 weeks pregnant, itchy all over
I'm 15 weeks pregnant and been itching all over the body for the past few days. The itching is mild but constant. No rashes and it's not concentrated in any particular area, it's travelling all over. It's discomforting enough to keep me up at the night and bother me during the day. Urine and bowel movement are normal. I've applied coconut oil and ice etc. But it's not helping much. Is this something to worry about? Is there a lotion I can apply or a pill I can pop to relieve myself of the itching?
