Feel like there are millions of bugs crawling on me :/

[LizziesGrape]

I appreciate that this sounds CRAZY, but i constantly feel like there are little bugs crawling all over me.

I get tingly sensations in my arms, legs, neck, and even my scalp

Sometimes it feels like there is actually a bug there and i look super fast out of shock, but theres never anything

It itches and is getting me down, i brought some itch relief E45 cream as i suffer with eczema anyway, but it hasnt helped, any ideas?

Is it possible that its obstetric cholestasis? I'm not too familar with it, but I've seen other ladies posting about all over itching and that condition. Definitely worth reporting to your practitioner!

my legs get very crawly feeling by the end of the day, I asked my dr about it and he said it was restless leg syndrome. Idk if what you are feeling is the same but he said a lot of it has to do with the extra amount of blood that we have in our bodies now that we are pregnant.

I get restless leg syndrome and it does indeed feel like bugs crawling in my skin, it's impossible to keep my legs still. I've also had it in my arms. Never in my scalp though. If I feel anxious I get a tingly crawling feeling in my scalp though.

Ive had this pretty badley all the way through this pregnancy

Been checked out for everything and nothing has shown up

On the count down now to get my little dude here so it will stop, its driving me crazy

I occasionally get the Restless Leg Syndrome - again at the end of the night - I have to relieve this by getting up and going for a little wander....

I do sometimes get itchy on my belly - but thats because it is stretching but apart from that I would definitely recommend going to see your doctor xxxxx

Thanks ladies, i really did think i was going crazy.
Is there any kind of cure for restless leg syndrome?
It definitely sounds like this is what i am suffering from, i have an appointment on monday just to be sure!
I'm costantly moving my legs and arms, even whilst sitting at the computer.
Its driving me mad, theres so many things no one tells you about pregnancy!!!

Come on Maisie, get a move on!!

i have read that you should eat more bananas and less carbohydrates. The electrolytes in gatorade could help out too
