Could it be she is just having the itchies from her skin stretching?....I know when I was pregnant my belly itched..lol......If it's that bathing her in Aveeno Colloidal Oatmeal - 2 tbsp in a gallon of water applied as a rinse, might be soothing to her.....
The only two products I can think of that's safe is fossil shell flour ( food grade D.E.) and cedar oil.....

It's getting cold out now so the fleas outside would be less of a problem. If they are in the house then vacuuming is the best and safest way to go. Here is one study about this.......
Dutch journal Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata:
The old upright is not only lethal to adult bugs, but it completely wipes out their young. Scientists from Ohio State University had set out to determine what additional measures might be needed to kill a bunch of Hoovered-up fleas: burning, freezing, poisoning, maybe even a little good old fashioned stomping. But it turns out that getting sucked into a vacuum bag does the whole job.
The researchers were so surprised by the results, they repeated the study several times. In each experiment, they sprinkled a kitchen carpet with 100 cat fleas, either adults or juveniles. And they found that the vacuum snuffed out pretty much all of them.
Good luck and I hope she's feeling better......
