Itchy skin?

I’m 9 weeks pregnant on Monday, (first time mom) and aside from heartburn I’m really itchy! Am i the only one? I have been experiencing almost every symptom but i find the itchy skin one so random!

I be going thru it at night. Not every night. At least a few nights a week. I made a post on my instagram complaining about it and some friends who had babies shared that they had itchy skin as well. It’s definitely a thing. Just not as common or talked about as a symptom enough. I’ve been showering more often and try to keep my skin really moisturized for the most part

Oh my gosh, i was exactly the same at 9 weeks. Itching is so bad. This is my second pregnancy, and i only remember the itching towards the end of that pregnancy. I put some olive oil in the bath lol and the itching is passing. Now im over 10 weeks. The itching has almost gone:) xx

So just to share when I was pregnant I got really itchy as well but it was my body and the palm of my hand and the bottom of my feet it was really bad to I brought it to my doctors attention turned out I had what they called cholestasis of pregnancy I had no idea that was even a thing, however with that I had to be induced at 36 weeks because if I had let the baby stay longer there would have been complications for the baby and even the risk of stillbirth.

I know it’s probably not the case here but just like to share as my doctor had mentioned that it isn’t common so many moms don’t take it seriously.

Luckily min is my body not my hands or feet. But i will keep it in mind when i have my appointment next week.

My doctor said looooooots of lotion and its due to skin stretching to make rooms for baby!

Biol oil lotion it does the trick! I used it it on my belly, great for stretch marks as well…Also I used aveno lotion all over my body so my skin didn’t dry up or it never got itchy.
