My bhabhi also had terrible itching on her belly. She used to gently apply coconut oil after her bath. Hope you find some relief soon, take care of yourself.
Oh I remember that phase, it used to drive me crazy at night! It is so tough to handle all these changes but hang in there, it gets better after delivery. Just try cold compresses to soothe the skin.
I am planning my pregnancy now and keep reading about this stretching skin issue. Everyone says keeping the belly super moisturized from day one helps a lot. Which cream are you planning to use?
I know exactly how frustrating and scary it feels when the itching doesn't stop. First, try not to scratch with your nails because it makes it worse. But please mention this to your doc because severe itching can sometimes need a simple blood test.
My hospital staff gave me a specific moisturizer and told me to avoid hot showers. Honestly, just call your hospital care team or gynac and ask, they will tell you exactly what is safe to apply.
Honestly, keeping active with mild walks actually kept my mind off the discomfort, but only do what your gynac allows. For the itch, I just used raw virgin coconut oil right after my showers.
