Itchy skin???
The Same Thing Happened With My Daughter And Now This Baby To..I Have Moments when I get really Itchy everywhere it seems mostly My Legs and arms And My Stomach.With My Daughter I used to Use Soothing Lotion That Had Aloe In it And it always seemed to stop the itching.
Reply:i get itchy skin when it gets cooler out, i guess it just gets dry. just apply moisturing lotion on your skn and that sound help. and you can alwasy use a moisturing body wash before hand
Reply:I didn't have it all over, but only on breast ,back and tummy. I found that lots of lotion helped me. I think it had to due with the skin stretching.
Reply:Is it PUPPS? I had that, and it sucked. Oatmeal baths and colloidal oatmeal lotion were the only things that helped. I must have gone through a tube of Aveeno Oatmeal lotion every few days. I took a Benadryl before bed (which my midwife OK'd) becasue I couldn't sleep and was scratching myself bloody at night.





If it is PUPPS, it should subside after you deliver. Also, I did not have it with my second pregnancy.
Reply:When you take a shower, make sure the water isn't too hot--it can cause dry skin and make it itch. When you take a bath, add half a container of dry oatmeal to the water and soak for a while. It'll help alot. Also, try Eucerin calming cream--it helps too. Congrats on the baby! Dry, itchy skin sucks!
Reply:Happens everytime I get pregnant. I got a bad case of PUPPS each time. (its a rash that starts on the belly and can move to the arms and legs... OUCH). My doc said its okay to use topical cortizone cream once a day (I did before bed). Its also a good idea to use a water based lotion after every shower, and try not to use water that is overly hot in the shower, it can dry out the skin even more.
Reply:Try taking a bath with a few drops of baby oil in the water and pat yourself dry - MAKE SURE SOMEONE HELPS YOU OUT OF THE TUB! it gets very slippery afterwards, and balance isn't the greatest while pregnant anyhow.





Hope this helps you!
Reply:you may get alot of other answers on here, but another one is that you might be allergic to your fabric sofner, detergent..because when your pregnant you get more sensitive to these things..take some benydryl.
Reply:Yes that's very common, Eucerin cream helped me the most. My youngest daughter doesn't like to wear shows outside so her feet got really dried out and her skin even started to peel, I started putting Eucerin cream on her feet every night and her feet aren't dry anymore.
