Itching all over the body
I am 35 weeks pregnant. Few days back I have started experiencing extreme itching all over my body. There is no rash but intense itching which gets severe during night. Is it colestasis? Is it risky for the baby? What measures can I take to reduce itching and also the underlying problem.
