Im in my 7th month and the itching on my belly and palms is driving me mad, specially at night. Why does this even happen yaar? want to understand before i ask my gynac next week.
Yaar, itching toh normal hai pregnancy mein, especially on the belly. Actually, your skin is stretching a lot and hormones also play a part. But if it's too much, like all over your body, or with rashes, then just quickly check with your gynac, okay? Better safe than sorry.
Please get any severe itching checked by your doctor, especially if it's on your palms or soles of your feet. While mild itching is often normal, sometimes it can indicate a liver condition, and it's always best to be cautious. My gynac always emphasized being vigilant about any changes, so please don't ignore it.
Itching is common because your skin expands and hormones fluctuate. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized. However, if the itching is intense, particularly on hands and feet, or if it disrupts your sleep, you should definitely inform your doctor. They might want to run some tests to rule out specific conditions, so don't delay.
Same here! I'm also having so much itching, especially at night. My doc said it's usually skin stretching and dryness. Are you feeling it more on your belly or everywhere? I'm using a mild lotion but it's not always enough, sometimes I wonder if there's anything else I can do.
Itching during pregnancy is very common, don't worry too much unless it's very severe. Skin stretching and hormonal changes are usually the culprits. Keep your skin well-hydrated with a good moisturizer, and try to wear loose, cotton clothes. A cold compress can also give some relief.
Oh, itching! That's another pregnancy thing na, like how some days I only crave sour things and other days, spicy! It's mostly because your skin is stretching so much. Just keep it moisturized and try to distract yourself with some yummy snacks, haha!
