Could itching be a sign of pregnancy?

Question

I've been experiencing some mild, generalized itching all over my body, and my period is also late. I'm wondering if this itching could be an unusual early symptom of pregnancy.

I started itching on my belly while hogging on golgappas! But seriously, keep your skin hydrated, and ask your doctor if it's too much.

I felt this intense itching on my palms and feet in my third trimester. Please mention it to your gynac, as it can sometimes be a liver issue.

Mild itching is common due to stretching skin, but severe itching needs medical evaluation to rule out cholestasis. Consult your gynac.

Itching pregnancy ka normal sign ho sakta hai, par agar bohot zyada hai to doctor ko dikhao. Don't ignore it thinking it's just dry skin.

Hormonal changes can cause mild itching as your skin stretches. Just apply good moisturizer, but let your doctor know just in case.

Don't stress too much, it could just be dry skin stretching out. But definitely tell your gynac during your next visit to be safe!
