Hi,
I have finally found a solution for unbearable itching when pregnant (this is my second pregnancy) and wanted to share as have used Mumsnet alot to try and find a solution. (Please note if you get itchy when pregnant first you should very urgently speak to a midwife or GP in case it's a liver problem that can be serious for your baby's well-being).
Longer solution used in evening:
- Body brush all over
- Cover yourself in coconut oil
- Luke warm bath (can add Epsom salts or bicarb of soda)
- Use grandpas pine soap (stinks)
- Mama Mio Tummy butter or double base gel
Quicker usually in the morning
- Body brush all over
- Very cold shower or bath
- Use above creams.
- Mama Mio leg cooler for emergency when out.
Having had this from second trimester for two pregnancies I have a lot of things. The above works. I have to do it morning and evening so that I don't feel like itching my skin raw.
Hope this is useful to someone in the future.
