Eczema in pregnancy?

I don’t usually get eczema but I’ve got it really bad all over my stomach and hands right now! I’m 33 weeks.

Anyone else had this and any advice? I’m scared to use any creams or anything incase it hurts the baby?

I had mild eczema but it got worse and worse during pregnancy. Especially over hands/arms. They say it's a girl's thing....

For creams, try the Aveeno moisturing cream.

Topical treatments are usually fine - but your best port of call is your midwife, pharmacist or GP.

I've had it over my arms, mostly the left this pregnancy. Doctor gave me some creams so speak to them.

However, I went to Lush and bought the dream cream and a soap (it was one with oats and milk). Whilst it hasnt cured it completely, it has definitely kept it under control. If I don't use the cream for a few days, I flare up.

Ive just brought the Avenno Dermexa range which is designed for people prone to eczema. Only just put it on but feels quite soothing already
