Im in my 6th month and my belly and arms keep itching, specially at night. No rash or anything just this itchy feeling that wont go. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or should i mention it to my gynac?
Yaar itching is normal actually, skin dry ho jati hai in pregnancy. I used to apply lotion right after shower when skin is still damp, locks the moisture. Worked well for me.
Mild itching is super common, the skin stretches on belly and it gets dry. Just moisturise twice a day, coconut oil worked for me both times. But if your palms and soles start itching badly, specially at night, get it checked, that one is not the normal kind.
Please dont ignore if the itching is intense, especially on hands and feet. I had something called cholestasis and it started exactly like that. Most itching is harmless but a simple blood test tells, so just mention it to your gynac to be safe.
I felt so itchy around 6th month, mostly on my tummy. I thought something was wrong but my gynac said its just skin stretching. A good cream and drinking enough water helped me a lot.
Beta itching thodi normal hoti hai when belly grows. Ghar pe mild itching ke liye nariyal tel lagao after bath, skin soft rehti hai. But agar zyada ho ya rash ho to doctor ko dikha lena, no guessing in these things.
