I've been experiencing a lot of itching on my back lately, and I'm wondering if this could be related to early pregnancy. Is back itching a common sign that some women experience?
It can be normal due to dry skin, but if the itching is severe, especially on your palms and soles too, please tell your doctor. Sometimes it can be a liver condition called ICP, so don't ignore it if it gets too much.
Mere saath bhi exact same thing happened when I was at my mummy's house. My mom used to gently apply warm mustard or coconut oil on my back after my bath. It really helped calm down the itching.
Don't scratch it too hard, otherwise you will get marks! Use a nice, fragrance-free lotion or pure virgin coconut oil. It is just your skin stretching as your body prepares for the baby, completely normal.
Haan, mere ghar pe sasuma bolti thi ki stretch marks aane wale hain isliye itching ho rahi hai. She made me apply ghee on my back and tummy. It actually worked wonders!
Hormonal changes and stretching skin cause this, but do mention it in your regular doctor checkups. I had thyroid issues, so I was always regular with my blood tests and doctor visits. Stay safe and keep your skin hydrated.
