Sweaty crotch in pregnancy...am i the only one?!

[Ragdollmum31]

I'm nearly 23 weeks pregnant and been getting sweaty down there and in between my thighs. It's definitely not wee and seems to be if I wear tights/leggings or jeans. Has anyone else experienced this and will it stop when I've had the baby? I've also had night sweats some nights.

It makes me feel gross throughout the day and it's getting me down 😔

I'm only early around 7 and a half weeks but have either been using liners or changing underwear during the day as just don't feel fresh at all.
Also waking a sweaty mess often.
No advise, just letting you know you're not the only sweaty stinker out there 😆

Had this throughout my entire first pregnancy. Wore dresses the whole time to get more air down there! Stopped as soon as I had baby.

I had this with both pregnancies. Horrible!!!

I'm afraid the only way I've found to manage this is a midday quick shower, and lying down to air dry a few times during the day!

But you are not alone.

Thanks for all your replies 😊

It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one who is going through/been through this annoying symptom!!

I've got a sweaty crotch, and I'm not even pregnant 🙈

@WhatInFreshHell How do you cope with that? 🙈

Yes I've had this all 3 times. I wear panty liners.
But also remember your sense of smell is heightened in pregnancy so you probably do not smell as sweaty to other people as you do to yourself!

To those who've had it - it goes back to normal right?!?!

Please note that only "yes" is the correct answer!

Omg I had this so bad and I'd never heard of it as a symptom. My inner thighs and creases (🤭) were so sweaty I rubbed them raw, it was so painful I cried. Vividly remember my other half slathering me in sudocrem because I couldn't reach, and also sleeping with a towel between my legs 😂

I’m at similar stage as you and finding this too. I wear pantyliners that help. I also had a Brazilian wax at the weekend and it feels so much better. If you have any hair down there getting rid of it will massively help the smell.

I ended up with thrush on my thighs from this. Canesten sorted it out, but it was unpleasant. Cotton underwear/leggings, talc, multiple changes and drying completely after washing. Use a blow dryer on cool to help dry off.

It was a problem outside pregnancy.

Until menopause. Goodby periods, hello sweaty crotch.

Argh! No edit function on the app!

It was NEVER a problem outside pregnancy.

I've got it now with peri. It's awful.
