This is so embarrassing but my head has become really itchy and i found lice, never had this issue in my life before. Im 5 months along now. Is it some hormonal change or just a coincidence, anyone know?
Beta ye pregnancy se nahi hota, kisi ke contact se aata hai. In olden days we used the thin kanghi daily and tied hair clean. Just dont use strong chemical lotions without asking doctor since you're pregnant.
Hormones make the scalp more oily and itchy so lice feel more annoying now. I'd stick to gentle combing and warm coconut oil massage, easy enough. For medicated lotions please check with your gynac first, as some arent advised in pregnancy.
Lice arent really caused by pregnancy itself, they spread by contact from someone else. But in pregnancy hair and scalp get oilier from hormones so it can feel worse. Regular combing with a fine lice comb and washing helps a lot.
It happens to anyone, not only pregnant ladies. Keep hair tied and comb daily with the patli kanghi. Ask someone at home to help check your scalp, much easier that way.
