Since my second trimester my lips stay so dry and cracked, drinking water also doesnt help much. Never had this issue before pregnancy. Is this a normal thing ya should i mention to doc?
Yes, it's usually just dehydration, but extreme dryness can sometimes indicate an underlying issue like gestational diabetes or vitamin deficiency. Since I had a rocky pregnancy, I'd say mention it to your doctor at your next visit just to rule anything out.
Super normal! Between the constant vomiting and forgetting to drink water because you're so exhausted, dry lips are a given. Just slather on some ghee or lip balm and keep a water bottle glued to your hand.
Oh, I had this too and started worrying if it meant some vitamin deficiency or if my baby wasn't getting enough water! It turned out to be just normal hormonal changes. Just drink lots of liquids and don't stress too much.
It's extremely common because your body needs way more water now to support the baby. Keep sipping water throughout the day, and apply a bit of ghar ka ghee or coconut oil on your lips before sleeping. It works wonders!
I had dry skin and lips during my pregnancy, and my doctor found my thyroid levels were a bit off, which can cause skin changes. Definitely get your regular blood work done and let your doctor know about this symptom.
My mother told me to apply fresh homemade butter or coconut oil on my lips every night, which really helped. But do make sure you are drinking at least 3 liters of water. If it doesn't get better, ask your doctor during your regular scan.
