A member asked:

5wks postpartum and the past week the palms if my hands and soles of my feet have been itchy at night. today i am itchy during the day. causes?

Hard to tell: This far out from pregnancy it's unlikely that it's a "pregnancy problem". It could be an allergic reaction or a skin problem. You can try some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or Claritin pills to see if you can make it go away.
