Yes: This is normal in many women during their last trimester especially. With increased fluids in the body the toes and fingers will have more swelling at times and will naturally tend to get a bit itchy. If you are concerned make sure to check in with your doctor who monitors your blood pressure. Stay hydrated and keep some form of mild exercise if possible. Congratulations!
