Pregnant and desperate for help?

I am 18 weeks pregnant and unbelievably itchy. I know it is normal to itch in the abdomen but I am extremely itchy on the top of my thighs, hips, back and side. Mainly on my right as well. It has been going on for almost a week and I have scratched that much my skin is burning. I went to the doctor and the hospital and got tested cholestasis and the blood tests came back clear. I should mention I have no rash. I have tried 2 different antihistemines, creams even a steroid cream prescribed by the doctor and nothing works. I am not sleeping because I am so irritated. Has anyone had this experience or have any idea what it could be. I am desperate for help.

Update:

I have tried cocoa butter. cold compress, and I have thought of allergies but my antihisthemines haven't worked and it is mainly on my right side with no rash.

    Cocoa butter, lotion, Aveno. Try those. What helped me was taking a shower and using my little scrubby where I itched. Felt much better.

    Do you have an allergy to something? Maybe it has nothing to do with your pregnancy?
