You need to see your OB for diagnosis and treatment. My guess is that it is PUPPS, a common, annoying, but harmless rash that some women get while pregnant. See here: http://parenting.ivillage.com/pregnancy/pthirdtri/0,,midwife_3p7q,00.html
Good luck!

Rashes can occur during pregnancy, as with hormonal changes. Estrogen is the culprit in most cases. Most common areas affected are your abdomen and breasts.
You still should call your physician. Rashes are nothing to mess with and you want to make sure he can identify it. I am a nurse, and it is always better to air on the side of caution then to underestimate something. Call your MD. He should be able to quickly tell you if your rash is hormonal in nature or due to something else i.e. allergies, viral, and environment. You want to make a quick determination because other forms of rashes can lead to preterm labor. Not to scare you, but just to state the facts. Good luck!

You need to drink more water. My doctor told me that when you are pregnant your skin dries alot and it is because your baby takes all the fluids from you. I am 27 weeks pregnant and I am drinking 80oz of water a day and I have not had itchy skin. I also make sure to put on body lotion after a shower, right before going to bed just in case. The weather is getting drier too and that affects your body big time. So put on some moisturizing body lotion all over your body every day and drink plenty of fluids.

See a doctor. I got heat rash when I was pregnant, and a cool bath took care of it.
My sister got an all over body rash while she was pregant (I got the same thing when my son was 18 months) called something ROSEA I think. The doctor gave me a steriod cream to put all over me, and it clear up. It was AWFUL, I know how you feel!
It's normal, go see a doctor and get meds for it.
