Someone in my building told me itching can happen later in pregnancy and i got a bit curious. Im only in 2nd trimester and no itching yet, just want to know around which month it usually shows up. anyone experienced this?
I want to gently say, if the itching becomes severe, especially on palms and soles, please tell your gynac. For me it turned out to be something that needed monitoring. Mild stretch itching is normal, intense itching is not to be ignored.
Beta, in my time we used to apply coconut or almond oil gently on the belly, it soothes the stretching skin. Works for mild itching. But if it is too much, do show the doctor, dont just rely on oil.
Mine started around the 6th month when the belly was stretching. I felt itchy mostly on the tummy and it got better with coconut oil. So normal but it did bother me at night.
