Could be due to a variety of things. Try using over the counter hydro cortisone cream for a few days (helps with the itching)and see if that helps. If it doesn't help...See your doctor. Try to keep your hands moisturized as much as possible. I like to use cocoa butter(Palmer's in the jar)...and have even used Vaseline and wore cotton gloves over them when I sleep to keep me from scratching. the worst thing is getting them wet. Try to avoid that as much as possible. And also if you do wash them. Don't use really hot water...it will only make it worse.
Hang in there!

It might night even have to do with your pregnancy (of course it could cuz I wouldn't know, I'm an 18 yr. old guy lol) but my hands get that way and they used to crack and bleed. Excema is what I had since I was like 10. Look at this: http://www.natures-fix.com/script_eczema_2b.htm Hopefully it helps some :)
