I've developed really itchy skin all over my body, especially at night, and it's making me so uncomfortable. How can I get rid of itchy skin during pregnancy? Are there any safe home remedies or creams I can use?
Haan na, raw coconut oil works like magic for dry, stretching skin on the belly. But if you have severe itching on your palms and soles, please tell your gynac immediately because it can be a liver issue.
I just delivered last month and had terrible itching towards the end. Calamine lotion and oatmeal baths gave me temporary relief. But do ask your doctor for a liver function test if the itching is intense, just to be safe.
I panicked so much when my belly started itching like crazy in the second trimester! But applying cold aloe vera gel and coconut oil really calmed it down. Just make sure to check with your doctor if the itching is everywhere and keeps you awake.
I felt so restless and upset when my skin started stretching and itching in the third trimester. Using extra virgin olive oil gently after my shower helped soothe my skin. Please connect with your doctor if it feels too severe, take care.
My belly was so itchy I felt like a bear scratching against a tree! Lathering up with moisturizer right after a bath helped so much. But seriously, if your palms or feet itch, call your gynac, don't ignore it.
