Itching during pregnancy

This is common during pregnancy. No bumps or lesions, just itchy skin which can occur during any part of pregnancy, but seems more common during the last weeks. The condition poses no danger to mother or baby. Since your abdominal skin and muscles have stretched, itchiness is a natural consequence. Liberal application of Vitamin E lotion may help since it is good to keep skin lubricated. Avoid scratching as this only worsens things. Check with your doctor on cooling lotions containing menthol or camphor. No treatment is necessary.
