Itching

[Lauren5071]

I’m currently in my first trimester (no idea how many weeks due to super irregular periods) and I am unbearably itchy. Face, legs and bits being the worst areas. I’m off to buy some E45 and some non bio but does anyone have any ideas on how to cope with this? It’s driving me absolutely nuts!

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I had this in the first trimester, I can't remember how long it lasted but it wasn't too long, perhaps 3 or 4 weeks tops. I was itchy everywhere, but especially my scalp, my legs and my boobs! I didn't come up with a solution other than to constantly moisturise which sort of helped and keeping my nails short stopped me scratching my skin of in my sleep. I also used a rough towel to rub my skin when it was unbearable which stopped me using my nails too. I hope yours gets better like mine did, it really is unpleasant.
