What Causes Severe Itching Under Breasts, On Hips And Thighs?

Hi. im 5 months pregnant and.have devolped a insane itch under my breasts and on my hips and outter thys. its more intense at night. i have done some research looking up PUPPP and dermatitis but i have no rash that s that bad. the itch has been persistant for roughly 2 weeks. i have taken benardyl for 4 days and it does nothing at all but put me to sleep. calamine lotion doesnt work at all. if anything it worsens it since it drys so fast. showers intensify the itch. there is no swollen bumps just flaking a bit under my breasts eczema creams are no releif. only thing that helps psycologically is baby powder. please help!
