Itchy skin! 7w 3d

mu

Hey there! New to the group! I just found out yesterday that I was pregnant with my fourth child due to irregular cycles and not a whole lot of symptoms! I had an ultrasound today, and baby measured 7w3d with a good heartbeat of 158!

Since I found out yesterday that I was pregnant, I’ve noticed some itching. It started on my feet/legs last night when I was dealing with restless legs and insomnia and kind of went everywhere on my body, went away all day today (while I was out and about and distracted), but now this evening I’m feeling a little itchiness again. It’s not intense at all, it’s more like a tingle or pricking feeling, if that makes sense. Like maybe to do with increased blood flow or hormones? I know all about conditions that can cause it durning pregnancy and I’ll definitely be checked out in the next week or two by my midwife, but I feel like five years ago I had a similar thing happen during my last pregnancy. Hmm.

It’s like all my skin is dry or something. Even my scalp! Again, its not intense. No rash. I just notice every little feeling due to my anxiety and I wanted to see if anyone else had experienced something similar this early. It’s like my skin is crawling or something. With it I’ve also had a lot of hot flashes/flushes. So that’s why I think it could be hormone related.
