Im in second trimester and lately getting a lot of itching there, esp at night. Its kinda annoying na. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or should i mention it to my gynac?
Yes, it's just the skin stretching. I kept a small bottle of moisturizer or bio-oil at my office desk and applied it quickly whenever it felt dry. Wearing soft cotton bras also saves you from irritation during long working hours.
I completely understand how irritating and uncomfortable that itching can be, it used to keep me awake! It is a very normal part of the skin stretching, so please don't feel anxious. Just keep the area moisturized.
When I told my mom about the itching, she told me to stop using hot water for baths and gently apply pure ghee or aloe vera gel. It was so soothing and stopped the itching almost instantly!
Oh God, the itching made me so worried that I had some skin infection or allergy! Don't worry, it is just your skin stretching as your breasts grow. Try applying a gentle moisturizer and check with your doc if it gets too red.
Yes, absolutely! Your breasts are expanding to get ready for nursing, so the skin gets dry and itchy. Just slather on some nice body butter or coconut oil and you'll feel so much better! ❤️
