The itching on my belly and arms is driving me crazy lately, specially at night. Im 6 months along. I will ask my doc next visit but till then how do u all get some relief?
Actually my skin got so itchy with the stretching, moisturiser twice a day fixed most of it. Loose cotton clothes also helped a lot yaar. But agar bahut zyada itch ho toh doc ko zaroor dikhana.
For normal dry skin itching, a good unscented moisturiser and coconut oil after bath helped me a lot, plus drinking enough water. But if the itching is really intense, especially on palms and soles, please get it checked by your gynac, that needs attention.
Mild belly itching from stretching skin is normal and oil or lotion helps. But I want to gently say, severe itching can sometimes be linked to a liver condition in pregnancy, so dont ignore strong itching, get a blood test done with your doctor to be safe.
Keep skin moisturised, drink water, wear loose cotton and avoid very hot showers, that combo handles normal itching. If it's getting unbearable or all over, dont self treat, just call your gynac.
