Hi all quite recently ( the past 3 days) ive developed an itchy rash over my wrists and the top side of my left hand, which has spread , also this rash seems to be appearing on my stomach/ bump?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks ,

Hi raogbole,
Take a look at our article about itching symptoms in pregnancy - nct.org.uk/pregnancy/itchin... .
Most of the time rashes and itching do not pose a problem but definitely do call or visit your midwife to be safe!
Hope this helps!

Hi raogbole,
Alice is right, you should contact your midwife just to be on the safe side. Itching can be a sign of a pregnancy condition called obstetric cholestasis (OC):

It's much more likely that your itching is just normal itching! But it's better to be sure.
