chapped lips?

Anyone else have super chapped lips ever since becoming pregnant? It is still hot here, so it is not as if we are having winter weather and I have been drinking a lot of water. I wonder whether the chapped lips are a strange coincidence or whether this is some bizarre pregnancy-related thing. Half an hour after putting on chapstick they are all cracked and bloody again.

  • Chapped lips?! I have chapped nipples too! And dandruff. I had to switch to my husband's shampoo. I'm parched. I drink so much water, but too much makes me nauseas. It's crazy. Stay moist ladies.

  • I have as well, but its really cold here and we have had the heat on for a couple weeks now. Its gas heat so its super dry. I always get dry and itchy in the winter, so IDK if its from that or pg.

  • Extremely chapped lips! It's so frustrating cause the never happens to me. 
  • yes soo chapped and they are peeling.  thought its cold here, my lips have never been so chapped.  Even chapstick and water out the wahzoo isn't helping.  driving me nuts.  and the skin on my face is dryer than normal.
  • Yes, so chapped that today when I opened my mouth to take a bite of my lunch they cracked and bleed.  Really puts a damper on lunch

    I try to remember to apply chapstick, but I really don't like the feeling on my lips.

  • I actually have vaseline on my lips right now. Chapped lips are a notorious sign of dehydration. I'm drinking tons of water and gatorade and I'm still waking up in the middle of the night completely parched. 
  • Yes! And my skin is really dry too. It's been really warm here lately so I had wondered if all the dryness was hormonal. It sounds like it is.

  • Weird...I was just saying to my mom last night how my lips are so chapped and it doesn't matter what I use on them they just don't get better...I am also very dry. It is gross!
  • Mine are chapped too and we live in Texas so no cold weather here really.  My skin has been really dry too!  I was telling DH last night that we need to buy moisturizing body wash and face moisturizer because I'm drying up!  Seems like no matter how much water I drink I'm still thirsty... Guess this is a common thing.  Its good to hear that you ladies are dealing with similar things :)

  • Yep, mine have been peeling too. I've just noticed it the past couple of days. It has started getting really cold at night here and our heat has been kicking on, so I don't know if it has something to do with that or if it's pregnancy-related. I have read somewhere that chapped lips are a pregnancy symptom.

  • Yes!!!  And my throat has been SO dry all the time, despite the tons of water I've been drinking.

    For chapped lips my savior when I was on Accutane was Aquaphor.  It even comes in little tubes now, so I keep them tucked in all my purses, in my desk at work, on the nightstand at home... It's the best!
