My belly and back are itching like crazy these days, third trimester now and its so irritating at night. Any safe gharelu tricks that worked for you? Will mention to gynac too but wanted real experiences.
My belly felt like a scratch card in the second trimester, I was constantly itching like a monkey! Slathering on cold aloe vera gel straight from the fridge was my absolute savior. But if you are scratching your palms and feet like crazy, tell your doctor!
Itching can be just dry skin, but due to my PCOS history I was always cautious about liver-related issues like cholestasis. Please monitor where it is itching. If it is on your palms and soles, don't wait and get a liver function test done through your doctor.
When I was at my parents' house, my mother used to give me warm oatmeal baths to soothe the skin stretching itching. It was so relaxing and natural. But she also kept reminding me to mention it to my gynac during my weekly checkups.
honestly, my stomach has started itching so much lately, is anyone else facing this in their second trimester? I use normal moisturizer but it doesn't help much. Should I be worried and call my doctor about this?
My tracker app warned me that severe itching, especially on hands and feet at night, could be ICP. I used a thick fragrance-free ceramide cream for basic stretch mark itching, which worked wonders. If it's intense, please log it and get your doctor to check your bile acids.
Beta, itching ke liye thoda nariyal tel ya sarso ka tel lagaya karo nahane ke baad. Humare yahan toh dadi bolti hain ki khujli thoda normal hoti hai par agar bohot zyada ho toh doctor ko zaroor dikhana chahiye. Aap apna dhyan rakho.
Staying hydrated is key, so drink lots of water and eat water-rich fruits. Sometimes high blood sugar or skin stretching causes mild itching, so apply virgin coconut oil. But definitely tell your gynac because severe itching can sometimes need blood tests.
