Skin itching or allergy

Hi Mummies! Im at Week 6 of pregnancy, and have been experiencing more frequent skin itching. Wondering if anyone has the same experience?

Hey! Yes, quite a few mums I know went through this around the same time. At week 6, it's usually just hormones kicking in and your skin getting drier, most of the itching settles down once you start moisturising properly and drinking enough water. That said, the itching can also be from your skin stretching already (even though it might not feel obvious yet), so keeping your skin hydrated and supple really helps. Most mums found that a good pregnancy-safe moisturiser made a big difference, some swear by keeping one by the bed for quick relief. A few did mention it's worth getting your doctor to rule out anything else, especially if the itching gets intense or doesn't improve, just to be on the safe side. How's yours at the moment, is it all over, or just in certain spots?

It doesnt stay at a particular spot but spread from time to time. Cant identify what is triggering.
