2nd Trimester

Why are my boobs itchy?

I do not remember this happening at all with DD. Are they growing or something? My tummy was really itchy with DD but not so much this time. Shouldn't my boobs be used to it!

  • Maybe from growing?

  • Mine are too- especially at night when I am trying to fall asleep!

    They must be growing or something.

  • They've already done enough of that for now. But I'm sure that's what it is. I guess I'll apply lotion & be happy I have some for now!
  • Mine are underneath...but i think it is just from them being strapped in allllll day!  And sometimes my sportsbras make them itch when I am working out.

  • Three things: one, growing=stretching skin.  Even if you are only growing a tiny bit each day, ordinarily you don't grow there at all, so it is a big change.  Two, hormones in this pg must be making your skin more sensitive which causes itchiness. Three, all that blood flow, again, can make you more sensitive.  Don't know why that didnn't happen with DD, but as they say, every PG is different.  I know my boobs itch every darn night.  Not too much if I stay up on the lotion, but still they do.
