Unbearable vaginal itch and dryness during pregnancy

Hello all, anyone has itch during pregnancy? It gets so unbearable and tempting to scratch but i try not to. So i wash more often, uses feminine wash but it gets so dry after due to frequent washing. And when i do scratch, sometimes it bleeds cause accidentally scratches too much on the skin and it hurts so bad to pee and wash after that 😭and it could be and feel fine today then suddenly it itches like hell in the evening. It gets so frustratingg! I have yet to ask for medication from my gynae but i have tried moisturizing, using cooling pantyliner to divert the pain and itch. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesnt.. And im so shy to let gynae check me below cause i cant shave properly due to my big bump (due in june) 🥲 Anyone has the same too?

Not recommended to use feminine wash actually as it will dryout and alter our vagina’s PH. Which may make it more irritated. Best to go to gynae they will check if you have any infection. Dont be shy with gynae, just have a mindset whereby theyve seen thousands of different vaginas😂 and not shaving is perfectly normal. I also go gynae never shave
