hi
welcome to health care magic
itching in pregnancy can be related to hormone changes or intake of certain food (Fish, brinjal and so on)

Cetrizine can be taken but many prefer the drug chlorphenaramine

local applications can be used safely and will help you tide over the crisis
Please meet your consultant if there is any further problems they will help

hope i have answered your query

HI
welcome to healthcare magic forum
it is mainly due to hormonal changes that occur in pregnancy
you need not to worry
it is very common in 1 and 3rd trimester
i advise to take chlorphenaramine than cetrizine as it is much safer .
better to consult skin doctor
apply calamine lotion twice a day
be relax and avoid stress
i hope i answered your question
I find this answer helpful
