Anyone have itchy hands?
I'm not sure if it's a pregnancy related thing (which I've heard about itchies here and there) or if I got "something" at my last manicure. But I go to a very reputable place. No rash, just itchy.
Anyone's palms or fingertips itchy? I'm not itchy anywhere else. I'll bring it up at my next visit but just curious if anyone is experiencing it too.
I truly hope it's because I'm coming into money!  But I'd like it to go away!

Re: Anyone have itchy hands?
YES, in fact, i just googled this yesterday to see if it's normal. Apparently it's caused by the increase in estrogen.
My palms and the soles of my feet are so itchy lately (almost tingly), especially in the morning when I first get up.
eta: it usually subsides in a few minutes on my feet (i rub them on the bathroom rug  ) and when I wash my hands with cold water.

Re: Anyone have itchy hands?
If your hands and soles of your feet are itchy call your OB NOW. This could be cholestasis which is dangerous to you and your baby = please call ASAP. I had this during my last pregnancy and I was induced because of this. The itching was concentrated in my palms and soles of my feet and worse at night. I dont want to alarm anyone but this is very important

When you are pregnant its always better to be safe than sorry and you are right it might be nothing but it was and you ignored it you would be kicking yourself. Keep us posted

Good to know. I'll check with them. Ironically... after I made this post, I have not been itchy. For me it was only on one finger at the side of my nail and one spot on the same palm. Not both hands and no feet.
