General concerns

itchy hands and feet!!!

Hi i'm 16 weeks preggers and for the last week i have had really itchy hands and feet - driving me mad. Midwife said it's ok and nothing to worry about but she wasn't sure why some women get itchy handsand feet. Just wondered if any of u ladies have experienced this xx

I don't have itchy feet, but they always feel on fire at the moment, but if I touch them they eel cool, very strange. The only thing I can think of is the extra blood supply, maybe it causes more itchiness too x

im 10 weeks and i want to bite my hands off & my feet are constantly sweaty. One thing I can say when washing hands & feet dab with towel & not rub as rubbing just makes it worse. If parts of body are feeling hot & itchy use magicool body & face spray cooler, helps cool and calms irriated, dry skin worked for me & my boys

Hiya im 38 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I had realy itchy toes last night, i even rang the hospital up as my feet, ankles and legs were swollen too. Aparently its fine in later pregnancy cause of the extra weight which i knew i could swell up ect but the itchyness confused me! strange.
