ITCHY SKIN DURING PREGNANCY
HI Doc, firstly, i am 12 weeks pregnant and already my tummy (skin) itches alot especially at night time, even though i apply antenatal cream. Is this normal at such an early stage? Secondly, i have such a funny taste in my mouth lately that i have to take a mint sweet to take it away, but comes back afterwards.

The funny taste is normal. Itchy skin without a rash is common. Try Bio-oil as the others have suggested.
