I've started experiencing a lot of itching, especially on my stomach and hands, ever since I got pregnant. It's quite bothersome. Why does this itching happen during pregnancy?
My mother suggested applying warm coconut oil for the itchiness, which gave temporary relief. However, my doctor explained that stretching skin is normal, but severe itching must be reported. Do let your gynac know during your next visit.
Haan yaar, pregnancy me skin stretch hoti h toh itching toh hoti hi h. Keep your skin moisturized with aloe vera or coconut oil. But agar bahut zyada itching ho, toh doctor ko zaroor batana, neglect mat karna.
Mild itching is just because of hormones and dry skin, so keep a good moisturizer at your office desk. But if it's keeping you awake at night, don't ignore it. Book a quick appointment with your doctor to get it evaluated.
Itching is common due to skin stretching, but keep a close eye on it. When I had gestational diabetes, my doctor monitored everything carefully. If the itching is severe and on your hands or feet, please consult your doctor immediately.
I had mild itching too because of skin stretching and hormonal changes. Applying pure coconut oil right after a bath helped me a lot. But definitely mention it to your gynac to rule out any liver issues.
I felt so miserable with tummy itching in my third trimester. Moisturizers helped a bit, but I felt much safer after discussing it with my doctor. Please check with your gynac to ensure it's just normal dry skin.
Oh, the stretching skin can cause so much itching, especially on the tummy! It's so frustrating but normal. Just make sure to tell your doctor if it's on your palms and soles, as that needs a proper medical check.
Actually, my doctor told me that mild itching is due to increased blood supply and skin stretching. But if you have intense itching on your palms and soles, it could be a condition called cholestasis. Always discuss it with your gynac to be safe.
