Itchy skin during Pregnancy? It is common for pregnant women to get itchy skin during pregnancy usually on the belly, breasts, hands, feet, hips and upper thighs. If you suffer from itchy skin during pregnancy, it’s most likely due to heightened levels of estrogen in your body, tightening of the skin, and/or previous skin allergies.

Avoid hot baths and showers, as this will dry out your skin and make the itching much worse. Use a mild soap and be sure to rinse it off well and towel dry lightly avoiding rubbing your skin. Then slather on an anti-itching moisturiser such as Palmers Cocoa Butter Itchy Skin Soothing Oil Pump 5.1. oz.
or Nature’s Gate – Skin Therapy Tea Tree, 18 fl oz lotion. Wear loose comfortable cotton clothing and drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

All itching usually disappears right after delivery. So don’t worry, the itching will go away!
