I've been experiencing a lot of itching all over my body, especially on my belly, during this pregnancy. Is itching a common symptom in pregnancy, and what generally causes it? It's becoming quite bothersome and making me uncomfortable.
Haan yaar, ye itching toh badi ajeeb problem hai. Mujhe toh pure body pe hoti thi, skin dry ho jati hai na baby bump badhne se. Just scratch mat karna bilkul bhi, marks reh jate hain.
Honestly, I had this till my delivery last month. My belly used to get so itchy, especially after bath. I just applied aloe vera gel cold from fridge and it gave instant relief.
With PCOS history, my skin was already dry and pregnancy made it worse. I was very careful not to apply anything heavily scented. Please stick to basic moisturizers and let your doc know if it's too much.
I know every small change makes us nervous, and itching can be so annoying. Please don't stress, it is mostly harmless skin stretching. But if you feel really anxious, just drop a message to your doctor for peace of mind.
Mere time pe bhi bohot khujli hoti thi tummy pe. Meri saas ne bola tha coconut oil lagane ko and trust me, usse kaafi relief mila. Ghar pe sab bolte hain skin stretch hoti hai isliye aisa hota hai.
Actually, skin stretching and hormones cause normal itching. Just keep yourself hydrated and apply moisturizer. But if it's severe on hands and feet, please check with your gynac to rule out cholestasis.
Beta dont worry, normal hai stretch marks bante hain toh skin khujli karti hai. Acha sa bio oil ya simple coconut oil lagao subah shaam. Zyada pareshani ho toh call doctor directly okay?
Uff, the itching is real! I used to scratch like a bear against the wall, especially at night when trying to catch some sleep. Use a cold pack or some heavy moisturizer, it really helps to calm the skin down.
So my doctor explained that increased blood flow and stretched skin causes this. She strictly told me not to use hot water for bath because it makes dry skin worse. I used calamine lotion as suggested and it helped.
