I've been experiencing a lot of itching, especially on my skin, since I became pregnant. Is this a common pregnancy symptom, and what could be the reasons behind it?
Itching can be really uncomfortable, but don't worry too much. Try applying a gentle moisturizer or aloe vera gel after bath. If it doesn't get better, please ask your doctor.
Skin stretching is the most common cause, but my doctor told me to watch out for severe itching on palms and soles. That can be a condition called Cholestasis, which affects the liver. Definitely get it checked by your gynac.
I had terrible nausea and then this annoying itching started! Skin stretching as the baby grows is a big reason, so keeping it moisturized helps. But please mention it to your doctor because severe itching can sometimes be a liver issue.
Haan yaar, stretch marks are starting na, so skin gets super dry and itchy. I used to apply cold coconut oil ghar pe. But if the itching is too much, especially on hands and feet, please tell your doctor.
I am planning my pregnancy now and keep reading about this! Is it really that bad when the skin stretches? I hope a good body butter helps, but I'll surely ask the doctor when the time comes.
