Is it normal for your hands, feet and belly to itch while 38 weeks pregnant? I’ve been so itchy! Could it be stretching skin?

Question

I don’t have any type of bumps or weird symptoms other than the itching. It’s just really uncomfortable. I couldn’t hardly sleep last night due to the itching. Is there anything I can buy to help?

Answer

It can be, it can also be a sign of a serious liver issuer if your palms and the soles of your feet itch- it's definitely worth mentioning to your Dr

Answer

The belly could be stretching skin but the hands and feet don’t seem to fit that category. I’d call just to be safe

Answer

talk to your doctor about this asap. my cousin had this happen to her at the end of her pregnancy and they had to induce her because it could harm the baby. it’s something with the liver.

Answer

My mother in law told me something I thought was funny she said the only sign She knew she was going into labor was her hands and feet got really itchy and I thought it was so weird but hey who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

It’s mostly likely skin stretching which is completely normal throughout pregnancy especially in the later weeks

Answer

Itchy hands and feet can be something called PUPPS, it's not good for you or baby get checked by dr. It's not an emergency but worth a call to the office.
