Im in my 7th month and the itching is driving me mad, mostly on my belly and palms at night. Have applied coconut oil but it barely helps. What worked for you all? Planning to ask my gynac too but wanted to know real experiences.
Drink enough water and dont use hot water for bath, that dries skin more. I used a fragrance free lotion both times. If it spreads with rashes show the doc, otherwise its usually just stretching skin.
Beta, simple ghar ka tareeka, gentle moisturiser ya thoda coconut oil lagao, loose cotton clothes pehno aur garam nahi thoda thanda paani se nahao. But agar bahut zyada ho to doctor ko zaroor dikhao, mat taalo.
One thing pls dont ignore, if the itching is mainly on palms and soles and gets worse at night, get it checked. My cousin had that and it turned out to be a liver thing in pregnancy. For normal dry skin itch its fine, but better safe na.
My mother told me to apply a little coconut oil daily and it really soothed the dryness. Wear soft cotton and stay hydrated. But anything severe, please listen to your gynac first, family tips are just for the mild itch.
I felt this so badly around my 6th month, mostly on my belly as skin stretched. Coconut oil after bath helped me and keeping skin moisturised. But mine was mild, if yours is intense pls mention to your gynac.
