My belly skin is itching like crazy these days, especially at night. I dont want to apply anything random without checking, so will ask my doc also, but thoda curious what others used. Pls share what worked for u.
Coconut oil is your best friend here! 🥥 I used to apply it twice daily and it really helped with the stretch mark itching. For severe itch, calamine lotion works wonders too, so definitely try that. 😄
Yaar, the itching was crazy, I felt like a bear scratching against walls lol! I just massaged lots of mustard oil and regular bio oil before sleeping. Honestly, dont buy random medical creams, just ask your gynac in your next visit.
When I was pregnant, my skin got super dry and itchy. I used simple virgin coconut oil and sometimes Cetaphil moisturizing cream which worked like magic. Better to avoid heavy medicated creams without asking.
Oh, that itching was so frustrating, I felt like scratching my skin off in my third trimester! I used to apply pure aloe vera gel right from our garden and it gave me so much relief. It’s a beautiful phase but these small issues can really test us.
It is actually so common to get itchy skin, especially on the belly as it stretches. Please don't apply any strong medical anti-itch creams without consulting your doc. For temporary relief, calamine lotion or cold pressed coconut oil is really safe.
Oh my god, even I am facing this severe itching on my tummy right now in my 5th month! I am so scared to apply anything because of the baby. Are you guys also feeling this same level of dryness, and what did your doctor say?
I know every small symptom makes us worry so much, especially after such a long wait. During my IVF pregnancy, my skin got incredibly itchy and my doctor suggested a simple, mild moisturizer like dermadew or Aveeno. Just check once with your clinic before buying any over-the-counter ointments, okay?
