I'm 22 weeeks and I've had an itching back for a few weeks. Until I read this I assumed it was my washing powder. It's my lower and upper back. My skin was actually bad for spots on the face before pregnancy and the pregnancy has cleared it. Because at the time I was trying to get pregnant, my gp gave me a topical antibiotic which worked immediately. I think it's different for everyone x

I was also thinking the same may be for washing powder I have changed but same problem....

I have never had pimples. Now at 17 weeks my face is covered in pimples. Apparently it's normal due to hormonal changes and an increase of oil to your skin. Try and avoid oil based products and lay off the moisturiser.

Oh really ! Yeah I'm using moisturizer it gives me more oil on my face , r u doing something to stop it?

Hi l think it's because of your hormones.

My Daughters expecting and she had pimples.

Itching on its own though could be serious. I had it when l was expecting.

I had like a sensation of people sticking pins in my hands and they were itchy.

I told my GP.

I had a very rare condition where your body is rejecting the pregnancy.

It affects your blood count.

I had too stay in hospital a month but l had a healthy baby and all is well.
