What Causes Body Itching And Swelling On Hands During Pregnancy?

I am pregnant and have severely itchy skin on my belly, wrists, soles of my feet, neck, and shoulders and biceps. today I noticed the soles of my feet look orange. what does this mean? I am almost 38 weeks along, and have had some swelling in my hands when they are warmer.

HI.

The itch could be because of a change in liver enzymes or liver health which can occur in pregnancy or it could be dryness of skin also which can also occur during pregnancy and be considered normal, but it would be best to visit your doctor and get yourself checked just to make sure all is well.

Best wishes.
