Around 7 months now and my belly and arms are itching like anything, raat ko worse ho jata hai. I try not to scratch but cant help it. anyone found something that actually works? will mention to my gynac too at next visit.
Beta, avoid taking hot water baths as they dry out the skin more. Apply a little mustard oil or coconut oil after bath. But if it doesn't stop, go see your doctor.
Itchy skin is usually just stretching, but severe itching (especially on palms and soles) can indicate cholestasis. Please mention it to your gynac to rule out any liver issues.
Same here, my belly is itching so much in my 7th month! Does moisturizing with cocoa butter really work, or should I ask my doctor for a specific cream?
Oh, I scratched my belly like a bear during pregnancy! Coconut oil was my best friend, but honestly, if it's super bad on your hands and feet, tell your gynac immediately.
Apply cold-pressed coconut oil or aloe vera gel to soothe the stretch. But please check with your doctor if the itching is severe, as it can sometimes be a liver issue.
