Hi Melody,
Welcome to HCM.
Itching and rashes could be caused by a number of conditions. Most common being skin allergy to some allergen. Other conditions include hepatitis (jaundice), diabetes, scabies etc.
Best is to consult a dermatologist and let him examine you thoroughly and try to find out the cause for this itching and rashes.
Wish you all the best.

May be you are having some skin allergy. Treatment will depend on the appearance, size and location of your rashes. Also since you are pregnant that has also to be taken into consideration. You can apply calamine lotion.
