If you get an itchy stomach during pregnancy, don't worry! Nearly all the pregnant women have itchy stomachs. The itchy is normally caused by stretching skin. As your bump gets bigger, your skin over your bump gets thinner, which makes it easier to lose moisture and cause dryness. If you have eczema, scabies or urticaria, the symptoms will be aggravated by pregnancy.

Use some mild moisturising lotion or cream, or a safe anti-itching remedy. Sometimes, taking a cool bath can also help.

Although its nothing to worry about the stomach itchy, tell your doctor or midwife, especially if you have itchy hands or feet.
