It is very common because your body is using all the hydration for the baby. Keep yourself well hydrated and use a gentle, fragrance-free lotion. It gets better post-delivery, dear.
Absolutely common. Just switch to a soap-free body wash and use a good ceramide moisturizer twice a day. Don't waste money on fancy 'maternity' branded lotions.
Dry skin is so common, my face looked like a desert! I barely had time to put on moisturizer between diaper changes later, but definitely use organic coconut oil right now.
Yes, hormonal shifts can dry out your skin completely. Since I have PCOS, my skin was already unpredictable, but drinking lots of water and using heavy moisturizers helped. Check with your doctor if it gets too itchy.
Actually, yes yaar! My skin became so dry and stretchy, especially on my belly. I used to apply virgin coconut oil right after shower and it worked like magic.
