Sounds like something yeasty...you may have gestational diabetes. Please tell your doctor and ask him what treatment you can take at this time. Godloveya.

I had terrible itching on my stomach when I was pregnant, so I used good quality lotion, with out much help. AFTER the birth of the baby, I was still itching, and an older woman told me to take vitamin e supplements, even though I had used vitamin e oil on my skin. I don't know why, but the vitamin e supplement worked. Don't take ANYTHING without asking your doctor first!

Sorry to hear this. Have you considered that you might have PUPPP? (This is a rash common in pregnancy). If you are itchy over your body, and if it's getting worse, definitely ask your doctor if it could be PUPPP.
While I'm not a doctor, I've read that taking cool, short baths, wearing cotton clothing, and using products with shea butter and allantoin may help.

it may be some allergic reaction to a medication you are taking you should ask your doctor.
you can also use some cortisone cream that reliefs the itch. but the fact that you are pregnant complicates stuff, its better if you ask a physician
