Hot water? : Hot water can trigger itching for some people. During pregnancy skin is much more sensitive to these things. If you are concerned and have your doctor do it examination to see if there is a rash or some other abnormality

Where do you live?: Is it cold? Do you use a caustic [ph8-10] skin cleanser? Use Dove in your shower. Within a few minutes after you get out of the shower, rub in a lubricating product. Ceramide creams are often very good. These include Eucerin, Aveeno, (oatmeal) CeraVe, generics.
