Itching is not a symptom of pregnancy.
Did you get bitten by something or use a
new product?

actually itching is common in pregnancy.
Stretching skin causes itching. Not as
early as she is talking though.

Itching can be a normal-side effect of
early pregnancy.
You are producing increased volumes of
blood, to support the developing placenta,
baby and to cover some of the loss at
birth. Etc. You make most of this blood
at the begining of your pregnancy.
The larger than normal volume of blood and
the increased circulation can result in
increased irritability of skin.
(also, headaches, increased body
temperature etc.)
if you have an actual rash, or it's soooo
itchy it's driving you crazy, or it
doesn't settle down by the end of the
first trimester go to your doctor.
Later in pregnacy skin itching is usually
localised to stomach area and usually due
to skin stretching.
Generalised itch in late pregnancy can be
reated to high blood pressure.
Hope this helps!
Congratulations on your pregnancy
