Itching on belly
Hi, i have severe itching on my stomach due to 31 weeks pregnancy. I have done LFT and bile acid. Thankfully its normal so its the skin issue only. I have already consulted dermatologist and he has given me cream and oral allergy medicine which is safe in pregnancy as per my gynaecologist. My question is due to itching sometimes i have urge to scratch for which i use soft cloth but does babh get hurt if i scratch? I feel movements afyer scratching sometimes which is irresistible altgough i try to avoid. But, it happens thatbi cant control. Does baby get hurt if i scratch my stomach?
