My skin has been feeling really itchy lately, especially at night. I'm wondering if this could be an early sign of pregnancy, or if it's just a normal skin issue.
With two babies growing inside, my belly skin was stretched like a drum and it itchy like crazy, haha! Coconut oil was my best friend, but my doctor did monitor me closely. Definitely mention it to your gynac to rule out any liver issues.
My mother-in-law said stretching skin causes itching, so she told me to apply coconut oil. It helped a lot, but my doctor also checked my liver function tests just to be safe. If the itching is too severe, especially on your palms and soles, please tell your doctor immediately.
Please don't ignore severe itching, especially on your palms and soles. I had a liver complication during pregnancy called ICP which started with itching, and it required close monitoring. It is very important to get a blood test done through your doctor just to be sure.
Oh, my skin became so itchy during my second trimester, especially my belly! It can be a normal sign as your skin stretches, but do mention it to your doctor. Moisturizing with a good lotion helped me, and now my toddler is the one making me run around!
Yes, sweetie, mild itching is very common as your body is growing and changing. Keep yourself well moisturized with simple coconut oil or moisturizer. But if the itching gets very intense or spreads, please call your gynac to get it checked, okay?
Yes, itching is quite common due to hormonal changes and stretching skin, but watch out. If you have severe itching on your hands and feet without a rash, it could be a liver condition called cholestasis. Please get it checked by your doctor to be safe.
