Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Itching in vagina is not common in pregnancy and can be due to vaginal or cervical infection.
Vaginal or cervical infection can lead to preterm labour and delivery, if not treated in time.
I would suggest you to get a vaginal swab examination done to confirm the diagnosis and get further management accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
