What causes itching all over the body during pregnancy?
Since past week im itching everywhere, mostly at night and it doesnt stop. Im around 30 weeks and getting little worried matlab is it normal or something else. Planning to tell my doc but wanted to know what causes this.
Honestly, I also had body itching in my second trimester, it was quite irritating. I just kept my skin hydrated with coconut oil and wore soft cotton clothes. My doctor didn't say anything specific, just that it's often due to hormones and skin stretching. It eventually subsided after delivery for me. That's just what happened with me.
Arey haan, itching is a very very common complaint during pregnancy! Mostly its just dry skin or stretching belly skin, nothing to worry much about. Try using a good, unscented moisturizer after bathing, and wear loose cotton clothes. If it gets really bad or persistent, especially on palms or soles, then definitely pls call your doctor once, just to be sure. But mostly it's normal. Take care!
Hey, so itching can be quite common in pregnancy, mostly because skin stretches. But my gynac had told me to watch out for severe itching, especially on palms and soles, because sometimes it can be a sign of a liver condition called cholestasis. It's rare but important to rule out. Best to mention it to your doctor.
Oh my god, I totally felt this! Mere saath bhi pura body itching hota tha, especially at night. It was so annoying and I literally felt like scratching my skin off sometimes. I used to cry because of it! My doctor just said it's normal for most women, hormones and everything. Just make sure to tell your gynac, okay?
Oh, I remember some itching too! It wasn't related to my GD thankfully, but it was still so irritating. I was always careful with what I ate, thought maybe some food trigger, but doc said most likely it's just hormonal changes. Just try to stay super hydrated, that helps a little maybe?
Please, please, please tell your doctor about this immediately. While it can be normal skin stretching, sometimes it could be a symptom of something serious like intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). I had some complications in my pregnancy, so I am extra cautious. It's always better to get it checked out properly to rule out any risks for you or the baby. Don't delay.
Ho na, itching toh almost har pregnant lady ko hota hai. Meri friend ko bhi bahot hota tha, especially raat ko. Zyadatar toh yeh normal hai, skin stretch hoti hai aur hormones bhi. Thoda moisturizer laga ke dekho, shayad relief milega. But haan, ek baar doc se bhi mention kar dena, just to be safe, kya pata?
