A member asked:

I'm 5wks pregnant and i'm so itchy, especially my feet and hands. no rash. why? something serious? keeping me awake

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormones: This early in pregnancy, the problem is probably due to poor hydration (you need 3-5 glasses of WATER daily) and/or the hormonal changes in pregnancy. If the problem persists, see your OB doc and tell him/her. Cholestasis of pregnancy causes severe itching of palms/soles esp at night. Can be a serious issue in pregnancy. Let your doctor know.
