Hi! I’ve noticed that since i found out I was pregnant (3.5 weeks) I’ve been sooooo itchy all over my body. It may go away for a few days then come back soon after again. It keeps me up all night and drives me nuts. My OB doesn’t think it’s pregnancy related ( I’ve had it a few random times over the past year) but now it’s almost every day! Anyone else feel have this?
Re: 1st trimester itchiness
Skin can generally get more sensitive in pregnancy. A few things that helped me were switching to a scent free laundry detergent and avoiding liquid fabric softener. I eventually ended up needing a steroid cream for a few days to get the worst of the flare under control.
