A. Itching throughout the body during pregnancy, especially as you enter the 8th month, can be due to several reasons. Common causes include skin stretching, hormonal changes, or a condition known as pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP), which causes red, itchy rashes. Dry skin is another frequent cause, particularly during colder months. To help soothe the itching, use a gentle, moisturizing lotion or oil and avoid hot showers, which can further dry out the skin. If the itching is severe or accompanied by other symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of the skin) or if you notice a rash, it’s important to consult your doctor. They can assess whether the itching is related to a pregnancy condition like cholestasis or something else and provide appropriate treatment.
