This sounds weird maybe but my skin has been itching a lot lately, mainly arms and pet area. Period is due next week and we were trying. Just curious if itching can be an early sign or im overthinking it haha.
Oh, I totally understand how frustrating and uncomfortable that constant itching can be! Just try to keep your skin hydrated with cocoa butter, and do speak with your doctor to make sure everything is okay.
During my IVF pregnancy, my skin became very dry and itchy due to all the hormonal changes. Applying a good moisturizer helped, but please mention it to your doctor during your next visit to be safe.
My mother told me to apply pure coconut oil on the belly as the skin stretches and causes itching. It worked for me, but please ask your doctor if the itching is all over your body.
Yes, mild itching on the belly is normal as it stretches. But if you have severe itching on your palms and soles, please tell your gynac immediately as it could be a liver issue called cholestasis.
I had this issue and my hospital staff immediately booked a Liver Function Test to rule out cholestasis. Don't just ignore it as normal stretching; report it to your gynecologist clearly.
When I was doing my pregnancy yoga, I noticed my skin felt very tight and itchy. Keep drinking lots of water to stay hydrated, but definitely let your gynac know if it doesn't go away.
