My belly and arms have been itching a lot lately, im in 7th month. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or something to worry about? cant stop scratching yaar.
Before spending money on expensive stretch mark creams, just try plain virgin coconut oil or moisturiser after a bath, it works so well. But if the itching is intense and doesn't stop, go to your hospital and get a liver function test as advised by your doctor.
Having PCOS made me worry about every single symptom. Itching on the belly is usually just stretch marks forming, but if it is severe on your hands and feet, please tell your doctor immediately to rule out any liver issues.
Yes, it happens, and it's so annoying when you are already struggling to sleep! I used to use my husband's cold water bottle to soothe my itchy belly at 3 AM. Apply lots of moisturiser and try not to scratch with your nails.
Oh, the itching drove me crazy along with my constant vomiting! Applying cold aloe vera gel helped soothe my skin a lot. Just make sure you are not scratching too hard, and tell your gynac if it gets unbearable.
Yes, mild itching is common due to skin stretching, but keep an eye on it. Sometimes high blood sugar can make skin dry, so do mention it to your gynac and don't try any weird remedies.
