Pruritus, otherwise known as itching, is a common symptom many individuals experience during their lifetime. Pruritus in pregnancy is also widespread, interfering with sleep, reducing the quality of life, and potentially masking an underlying disease process. Skin lesions may accompany the pruritus in some cases. The etiologies of pruritus may be unrelated to or specific to pregnancy. Pruritus during pregnancy must be adequately addressed and investigated as it may be a sign of an underlying disease that could lead to poor maternal and fetal outcomes. This activity will review the etiologies, epidemiology, clinical features, management, and patient education pertinent to pruritus specific to pregnancy and highlight the interprofessional team’s role in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
