Is being itchy a common pregnancy symptom?

Answer by  Darry (3853)

Being itchy across the abdomen is incredibly common for pregnant women due to stretching skin. Itching elsewhere may be a sign of an allergic reaction or other contact dermatitis. If it is painful or widespread, see the doctor.

Yes,But not only that some may prefer ccertain tastes like sour and salty. It might be also an allergen. Try to bring your histamine level lower. Your doc can get you the pills.

Yes, being itchy is a common pregnancy symptom. Your skin is stretching so yes you will have some itching especially on your stomach. Also another reason you could be itchy is because of the dry skin that some woman get while pregnant.

Tell your Ob-Gyn about any itching when you are pregnant. It can be a sign of a liver malfunction, which can be really bad for you and the baby. Better to check it out than be sorry.
