Question

Mrinal Saraf · Answer

Oh that sounds so irritating and itchy! Try to distract yourself with some nice snacks and keep the area cool so you don't scratch.

Don't worry, bed bug bites won't affect your baby at all. I had them once during pregnancy and my little one was completely fine.

Please check with your doctor before applying any strong over-the-counter medicated creams, as pregnancy skin is very sensitive.

I got some itchy bug bites in my third trimester. I just used calamine lotion to soothe the itching and they cleared up in a few days.

Do not stress, everything will be fine. Just apply some cooling aloe vera gel and keep your mind peaceful.

They don't typically transmit any diseases, but scratching can cause secondary skin infections. It is always best to show the bites to your doctor.

Actually, it's just super annoying but absolutely not dangerous for the baby, yaar. Just get safe pest control done while staying away for a day.
