Hello!
Thanks for your query.
Some women during pregnancy have itching and may be caused by an increase in estrogen and usually can disappear right after delivery.
To relief itching you can use some tips:
avoid warm baths or showers
take an occasional oatmeal warm bath
slather on unscented moisturizer after you've bathed or showered
try to putting cool,warm compresses in itchy areas
avoid going out in the heat of the day
wear loose ,smooth cotton clothing
Take care of your self
