Itching and stretch marks

2021-12-14 18:59:45
I'm 23 weeks pregnant. I want to know why my whole body itches. I try not to itch most of the time but I've marks on my belly because of that. Everything good with liver profile though. What could be the reason? In what way will this harm? Also, how to prevent or cure stretch marks caused during pregnancy
