Itchy!

I am 35 weeks pregnant and the vaginal itching is unbearable! Please tell me I'm not alone! And any tips to help subdue it??

Re: Itchy!

  • You are not alone! I had tried everything from panty liners to changing underwear several times a day to unscented wipes & nothing had helped. I was so raw and itchy I wanted to cry. I told my Ob and she prescribed an antifungal/steriod cream that has been my miracle!!! Good luck :)

    I have had this a few isolated times, but it is THE WORST. I just slathered the whole area in coconut oil and that totally did the trick for me. I didn't get a professional opinion though, so if you're in doubt, definitely ask. ;)
  • @porkchops78 @farwellmama OMG thank you! I have a check up on Tuesday and I'm trying to wait for that. I might try coconut oil until then!!!
  • I got prescribed the anti-fungal cream too! Works wonders. Good luck

    @mdandrea1436 Now I can't wait until Tuesday, hopefully my doc prescribes me that ! Thank you!
  • I can't use anything down there or I'll get a yeast infection, I have to use bar soap when I wash in the shower and it has to be unscented lol so coconut oil I definitely couldn't use, but my doc also prescribed me a steroid cream and it does work. Good luck! I wish I could try that coconut oil trick tho
  • I will tell you that it is a horrible feeling. Going through the same thing. It's very intense and annoying and makes u want to cry. I just use a+D ointment that helps somewhat. Havent tried coconut oil though.
