Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Itching in the body in third trimester of pregnancy can be due to some skin lesions or due to obstetric cholestasis.
I would suggest you to get your liver function test done and if deranged, then get treated for obstetric cholestasis. If they are normal, then you should consult a dermatologist to get examined properly and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
