Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the presence of itching during pregnancy is a routine complaint faced by the clinicians.
But it needs to be evaluated to rule out any liver pathologies.
The conditions to be ruled out are obstetric cholestasis,any viral hepatitis etc.
The blood investigations like serum bilirubin and other liver parameters should be done to rule out the abnormalities.
If everything is normal the itching can be considered to be pregnancy associated.
So relax.Nothing to worry.
Antihistamines can be taken.
Apply moisturiser as the dry skin also provokes itching.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
