HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It may be an allergic reaction or one of the rashes that occur specifically in pregnancy.
There are some skin conditions that occur only in pregnancy and can be associated with severe itching.

In addition to the topical ointments, she can use an oral anti histamine. It will not harm the baby.
These anti histamines are given both in pregnant women with allergic reactions and in some of the specific pregnant related rashes.

Examples are benadryl, claritine, allegra, zyrtec.
Should be available over the counter.

I hope this helps
