I'm in my third trimester, and the itching all over my body is driving me crazy, especially at night. How can I control this intense itching during pregnancy? It's making it so hard to sleep.
For mild itching, apply pure extra virgin coconut oil right after your bath while the skin is still damp. It keeps the stretching skin hydrated for a long time.
I had mild itching on my thighs and back. I just used a mild soap and kept my skin moisturized with body butter, which worked for me. Please ask your doc if it persists.
Itching can be so frustrating when you are already feeling sick. Try an oatmeal bath or apply cold lactocalamine lotion, it gave me instant relief from that constant burning itch.
Haan, stretching skin causes so much itching, na! Please don't scratch with your nails otherwise stretch marks will get worse. Just use soft cotton cloth to pat it.
I had severe belly itching during my pregnancy. Using aloe vera gel helped me, but remember, if the itching is on your palms and soles, u must tell your doctor immediately.
Don't waste money on expensive fancy oils. Plain mustard or coconut oil works fine, but if the itching is severe, go for the liver function blood test that your doc suggests. Don't skip it to save money.
