What makes your belly so itchy during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, your belly skin stretches and dries out, which activates nerve endings and creates that itchy feeling. As much as you want to, it’s important to not scratch—that irritates the skin, contributes to stretch marks, and makes the itching worse!

LESKA BEAUTIFUL BELLY TIPS

As much as possible, avoid scratching or rubbing your skin when it’s itchy sensation.

Choose to wear soft fabrics like cotton and silk over rough-textured or synthetic clothing (especially wool).

Sleep with fresh cotton sheets.

Take short baths with warm water and minimal soap, which can be drying. If you can, replace soap with shower oil, which takes care of the mantle of your skin and helps retain its natural moisture.

Apply Happy Belly Oil immediately after bathing, when it can be best absorbed, achieve maximum moisturizing on your skin.
