8th month chal raha hai aur raat ko hatheli aur paav mein itni khujli hoti hai ki neend hi ud jaati hai. Koi rash bhi nahi dikh raha bas andar se kharab khujli. Thoda darr lag raha hai, gynac ko dikhane ja rahi hu but kisi ke saath aisa hua hai kya?
Ugh, I remember that! In my third trimester, my hands and feet were so itchy, especially at night. It turned out to be cholestasis, which my doc checked with blood tests. If it's really bad or not just mild dry skin, please talk to your gynac, don't ignore it.
My mom used to say sometimes it's just the skin stretching, especially on the belly. She'd rub a little almond oil or coconut oil gently. But if it's all over your body or really intense, my family always said to tell the doctor immediately, just in case.
Oh god, itching! I remember thinking about every possible rare condition when I had a bit of itching. Most times it's just dry skin or stretching, but if it's REALLY bad, like, everywhere, then you HAVE to call your doctor. Don't Google like I did, you'll just panic!
Is it possible you're craving something super spicy? 😂 Just kidding! But seriously, dry skin from hormonal changes or stretching skin can cause mild itching. If it's really severe though, like keeping you up all night, then maybe ask your doc. Keep hydrated too!
Severe itching, especially on hands and feet, can sometimes be a sign of something called cholestasis, which needs medical attention. Please don't self-diagnose, contact your doctor right away to get it checked. It's better to be safe than sorry.
