that just comes from your skin stretching. i suggest you get some cocoa butter asap!

You need to keep your skin hydrated during pregnancy, coco butter for stretchmarks is really good, give it a try, also having itchy skin is normal but if it is really itchy and you cant stand it you really must see a midwife or GP asap.....as it can be a sign of pre-aclampcia...so if there is any sign of swelling please call a GP straight away, but don't be alarmed or panic by my answer, this can just be something to do with the itching at the very worst, i think you are probably fine but it is always better to be safe than sorry,good luck and all the very best for the future.xx

Everything you described is perfectly normal. You have the "pregnancy rash" I'm not sure what exactly causes it but if you go to www.babycenter.com and search for that it will tell you. I had it with all of my kids. This pregancy was the worst for me, I couldn't eat or drink and I was sick 24/7 until I hit 12-13 weeks.
There will be relief soon. Try using Palmer's cocoa butter lotion for stretch marks it keeps the skin very moist and will relieve the itching as well as preventing stretchmarks.
Good Luck and Congratulations!

My sister had a terrible rash like hives when she went through her first pregnancy just don't itch it and you may want to ask your doctor for a cream or something that will make it go away although there was nothing they could do for my sister. About the not wanting to eat anything doesn't matter and if you don't want anything to eat you must eat. My cousin's girlfriend went through the same thing with her first prgnancy she wasn't hungry all through her prgnancy and when their son was born he had birth deffects. He had extra fingers and extra toes on one foot and and not enough on the other, so make sure even if your not hungary eat it's not healthy for your baby make sure you eat lots and lots of fruit, calcium, vegetables, and vitamins I'm sure your doctor will tell you the same thing and make sure you mention to your doctor that you don't feel like eating.

the itching is for your skin stretching. It'll continue until you have the baby. The spots can be from you scratching. Or they could be hormonal. As far as being sick, you'll go through different stages throughout your pregnancy where your fav food will make you sick and the food you hate the most will be the one you wnat the most. Enjoy this time.

I also had a previouse mc and now 10wks. Im sick and caint eat allot but most due to nausea. I don't think the red dots are normal. It may be your skin streching or you may get sensitive skin during pregnancy. Congrats and hope all is well

Congrats i will be 12 week this comming thursday. It sounds like you could have a viral rash with the red spots. And as for the itching it,s normal. Make sure you see your doctor.

with both my girls I became itching straight away and had what looked like little dots of blood under the skin on my hands and especially on my tummy, I think it has something to do with the increase in the blood supply and these little spots pop up where the skin may be a bit thinner, dont worry they never harmed me and i think its normal, most of mine went after the birth.

You are exactly the same amount of weeks as me. I get an itchy tummy sometimes aswell. My mum warns me not to scratch because she scratched so much she made herself bleed, it can't be uncommon. I think a good moisturiser will help.

Itchy skin is very common in pregnancy, nothing to worry about. Mention it to ur doc to put ur mind at rest.
