Yes, hormonal shifts and increased blood volume can cause dehydration, leading to dry lips. It's best to consult your doctor to ensure your overall hydration levels are fine. Meanwhile, using a simple organic lip balm helps.
I am in my 5th month and my lips are peeling so badly despite using balm! I was getting worried if it's some vitamin deficiency. Did anyone else also experience such extremely dry lips in their second trimester?
It is actually very common because your body is using a lot of water for the amniotic fluid. Just increase your liquid intake to 3 liters daily. Don't worry, it's not a medical issue, just normal pregnancy dryness.
Beta, this is very common in pregnancy. Just apply a little ghar ka fresh ghee or unsalted white butter on your lips before sleeping. It is completely natural and safe for you.
Oh absolutely, my lips looked like a desert when I was pregnant! Don't stress too much about it, just carry a good lip balm everywhere. Drink coconut water and stay hydrated, babe!
