Mild itching is common in pregnancy because of the increased blood supply to the skin. Many women get a pregnancy rash that occurs on their stomach nearer the end of pregnancy.
If you do get a pregnancy rash on your stomach don't scratch at it too much as this can tear the skin.
Wear loose clothing.
Ask your doctor or midwife if there is anything you can take to ease the itching.
If itching becomes severe, or you develop jaundice (yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin) see your doctor straight away.
