Itching while pregnant??

Question

I am 17 weeks today and I have been having skin itching all over periodically and i just wanna know if it's normal. My legs, my belly, and my boobs are itching like crazy. And I have my fiancé check and their are no bug bites or anything. I don't know what to think. My body is going crazy

Answer

Yup! It's normal. Your belly itches because it's growing, could be why your boobs are itching as well. Just make sure you keep your skin moisturized. As for your legs, could be because it's colder and it's dry skin. Just find a good lotion and use it daily, it should help a lot!

Answer

Same here! My boobs and belly are just urgh!!!! I try not to s watch because I kno its stretching dry skin and I don't want any new stretch marks so I put on lotion.. Seems to help.. But man!

Answer

Im on the same boat. Never had dry skin until i got pregnant its been driving me crazy aveeno lotion works wonders i use it day and night to help out. I also keep showers down and water not so hot cause things like that can cause it to be more dry i try to put powder on places that get rashes due to my super dry skin! I use a and d cream on that though if i do. I hope this helps congrats!!

Answer

Don't scratch you need a cream for stretch marks !!

Answer

I am 15 wks and going through the same thing.  It is driving me crazy!! I keep trying different lotions bc none seem to work. I think it's a combo of stretching, sensitive skin and dry winter skin and heat.

Answer

Thank you so much for all the responses. I thought I was going crazy lol but I will try using lotion more often. I wash with dove so typically I don't need lotion after I shower except on my feet but this pregnancy has been so different. If after all the lotion I'm still having the problem I'll just talk to my doctor. I drink water all day long so I stay physically hydrated

Answer

Keep an eye on ichy skin it can also be a sign of pupps cholistist or preeclapsia if its serious enough my cousin was in the late srages of her last pregnancy and mentioned to me that she was ichy all the time it turned out to be preecapsia and has an emergency csection

Answer

If your skin is itching keep it hydrated if it's still itching after that have your dr do blood work. It's a 1% chance that it is something else.

Answer

My boobs and my FEET! Oh my gosh the worst place to be itchy is your feet.... I think I need to remember to lotion up at night and in the morning/after showering

Answer

I had the same thing start at 13 weeks turned out to be hormonal eczema!
