About 20 percent of pregnant women feel itchy during pregnancy. Usually women feel itchy in the abdomen. But red, itchy palms and soles of the feet are also common complaints. Pregnancy hormones and stretching skin are probably to blame for most of your discomfort. Usually the itchy feeling goes away after delivery. 

What might help: 
•    Use gentle soaps and moisturizing creams. 
•    Avoid hot showers and baths. 
•    Avoid itchy fabrics. 
Call your doctor if symptoms don't improve after a week of self-care.
