My lower belly has been thoda itchy since few days and im like 5 weeks (just tested positive). Could this be a pregnancy thing or am i reading too much into it? Anyone experienced this so early?
Oh god, my belly was so itchy I wanted to use a hairbrush to scratch it lol! But that started way later when my bump actually grew, not in the early days.
My skin got very dry during my pregnancy, especially when my sugar levels fluctuated. Keep your skin well-moisturized with coconut oil and get your routine sugar checks done.
It's usually more common in the second and third trimesters as the skin stretches, but some women feel it early due to hormonal dryness. Just apply a good moisturizer!
I remember being hyper-aware of every single body sensation. Itching can sometimes just be dry skin, but if you have severe itching all over, please mention it to your doctor.
Staying hydrated by drinking lots of water and doing mild stretches helped me. If it's early pregnancy, skin stretch hasn't started yet, so it might just be dry skin.
