My belly and legs are itching like crazy these days, especially at night it gets worse. Im 30 weeks. Driving me mad honestly. What did u all do to get some relief? Planning to mention it to my doc also.
Arey, skin stretch hoti hai toh thodi itching toh hoti hi hai, haan! Apply some organic coconut oil or moisturiser immediately after your bath when skin is damp. Aur cotton ke dheele kapde pehno na, usse bahut aaram milega.
I used to scratch my belly like a happy little bear against the wall! Honestly, keep your nails short so you don't scratch yourself raw. Keep a bottle of cold coconut oil in the fridge and apply that, it feels absolutely heavenly!
My skin got extremely dry and itchy, especially around my breasts and tummy. I found that applying raw virgin coconut oil right after a shower kept the moisture locked in. It's gentle, safe for the baby, and really calms the skin down.
For mild itching, applying fresh aloe vera or coconut oil helps a lot. But please mention this to your doctor during your regular follow-ups, because severe itching, especially on your palms and soles, can sometimes indicate liver issues like cholestasis.
Ugh, the belly itch is so annoying, but don't stress too much about it! Just keep a good moisturizer or calamine lotion near your bed and slather it on whenever it starts. Avoid hot water baths as they make the skin even drier.
