#asktheexpert how to deal with pregnancy itching. I'm 33 weeks pregnant. Sometimes my back itches, sometimes thighs, sometimes my underarms, sometimes my other private parts. IS it normal in pregnancy?

A. Although itching can happen because of hormonal changes during pregnancy, you should also check your liver function test because that will become an emergency condition to treat. In the meantime, please apply calamine lotion over the areas of itching.
