Hi everyone, anyone else experiencing dry cracked lips? I've had it now for weeks and nothing seems to help them! Hmm Is this another pregnancy symptom? 21 weeks now xx thanks xx

I have but I thought it was just down to the weather, I'm 39+2, most lip balms just seem to dry them out even more! Best I've found is palmers cocoa butter one and a vanilla one by next, Hth

I've had dry lips aswell! Why is this?!

Littlehopeful · 22/02/2015 19:17

I've got them too only 12 weeks though! No matter how hydrated I am they don't go

I am 38 plus 3 days and have had very dry lips throughout my pregnancy . Nothing seems to help much but I find dehydration makes them worse. Are you drinking plenty if water ?

I had that when I was pregnant and someone told me Vitamin B was the answer. It was many moons ago though and I can't remember very clearly so I'd check with a good authority before you listen to me Wink

Yes!! Particularly when I have the heating on in the car (but it's never been a problem when not pregnant!!). Annoying. I've got some rose salve that vaguely works!

Lansinoh nipple cream. I sent DH to buy some one day after my boobs were driving me mad and then saw a tip on here about using it for a lip balm. It's so good, and it'll come in after baby is here too!

I think it's because your sinuses can get blocked. I know I breathe through my mouth all the time now (attractive. Not)

Burt's bees lip salve has been wonderful!

Yes I am 20 weeks and have really dry lips too! Invested in Carmex at the weekend it is currently 3 for 2 in Boots!

Wenglish · 25/02/2015 22:49

Me too at 23 weeks. I've definitely got blocked sinuses which is not helping.
Haven't found a miracle lip balm sadly!

I've been using Palmers cocoa butter lip balm, it really helps.

Nothing is helping with my dry tongue though!

Bobbi brown lip balm works for me - I'm so thirsty all the time!
