PROUD MUMMY TO 3 ON EARTH 2 IN HEAVEN
I AM SEEING MY DOCTOR FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING But was wondering if anyone else has suffered itching/ rash in their pregnancies i have not had this problem before and was wondering if it could also be hormone related, it is worse at night my main problem is the itching but was also just wondering they like tiny bumps more so that u can feel when u run your hand over some are very hard to see also have some on my belly but was just seeing if anyone else had experienced this thanks in advance

Obstetric Cholestasis causes an itch that is worse at night but does not involve a rash except what you might get from scratching. Where on your body is the itch? Google PUPPS also.

That sounds very much like OC except for the rash. Make sure your Dr orders Liver Function Test and Bile Acids Tests.
