it is called pruritis of pregnancy. its normal thing which happens as pregnancy advances. It can be problematic too. It's better to consult your doctor before concluding it to be normal. If the itching is in the genital area then a fungal infection should be ruled out and treated. This can be an early symptom of obstetric cholestasis (jaundice in pregnancy) which should be identified early and treated.
