Dry skin???

Hi I am Heather and I am 19 weeks. Is it normal to have dry itchy skin all over? My back and arms are even dry and itchy. I guess I am just wondering if anyone else is going through this as well.

I'm not pregnant or having issues, but with this cold dry weather my son is. I've been using eucerine (sp) creme on him and he hasn't been itching as much.

Hmm.. I will have to try that. Can you find that at Wal-Mart?

Quoting Heather Hemphill:" Hmm.. I will have to try that. Can you find that at Wal-Mart?"

You should. I got it at target. But I was told the creme is best, not the lotion. (I haven't tried the lotion so I don't know for sure haha. But the creme seems to be working well)

ok I will look into it and if they have it at walmart.

i have been very itchy both this preg and last... doesnt matter how much i moisturise etc it just doesnt stop , and yep all over, i often scratch my arm and legs so much thru the night i draw blood... so frustrating :-(

Im 22 weeks and i thought i was the only one because i didnt have this with my other pregnancies...

Yes its very frustrating. There are times I have problems sleeping at night because of it.

I recommend using Goldbond aloe lotion. It's the only one I've found that helps me, and I get really bad dry skin during the winter.
