Im in my third trimester and my whole pet has started itching like crazy, specially at night. Thoda uncomfortable ho raha hai. Is this just because skin is stretching or something else? anyone else felt this?
My mother told me to apply warm coconut oil on the belly, which gave me great relief. But if you have severe itching, please tell your doctor as sometimes it needs a simple blood test.
Actually yaar, the skin stretches so much that it gets super dry and itchy. I used to apply bio oil or heavy body butter. But if it's too much, tell your gynac just to be safe.
I know how annoying and stressful that constant itching can be, it really makes you anxious. It's usually just your skin stretching, but apply a good moisturizer. If the itching is severe, especially on hands and feet, please check with your doctor.
My doctor told me stretching skin causes this itching, so hydration is key. Along with drinking lots of water, I kept doing my light walks which kept my blood circulation good, but do check with your doc before starting any routine.
It is very normal because your belly skin is stretching to accommodate the baby! I used to apply simple coconut oil after bath, and it really helped. Keep smiling, you're doing great!
