Itchy Skin - help!
Is anyone experiencing itchy skin, especially at night? I've started to get it really bad the last couple of nights when I go to bed and a little bit in the day now too.
Honestly it's unbearable I hate the feel of clothes or bedding touching it which isn't ideal when you need to sleep 😂
I called the midwife line who said as long as it's not your hands and feet it's nothing to worry about and it's just your skin stretching and growing. She suggested calling the GP and seeing if they can give a medicated cream which I will do tomorrow.
In the meantime I've picked up some calamine lotion which my mum recommended and I can't say it's helped, I'm laid here wiggling around like an itchy worm 😂 I also thought a hot shower won't help either? I don't know I'm trying to think of everything because I can't spend the next 4 months like this!
Is anyone else experiencing this? And do you have any advice??

Omg yesss!! During the day is worst for me, literally want to take off my clothes as I’m walking down the street because the irritation is too flipping much! It’s so uncomfortable on this cold weather as well. Praying the itching gets better for all of us🙏🏾💖
Thank for all your responses, I'm sorry you're all going through it but not gonna lie a lil bit glad I'm not the only one 😂 I will try the suggestions and experiment a bit! X
I’ve had this and went to the GP and asked for a blood test to be on the safe side!
