Why Do I Feel Itchy as a Mom? Early Morning Cleaning Routine
I felt it absolutely necessary to shower at 5 am, to shave (& yes my vag too, went in blind - thank god for these razors I got that made it easy) & to scrub 3x with 2 different soaps lol my ocd is in high gear. I’m laying in bed butt naked after that shower and I feel like new but I wanna clean... it’s almost 6 am & im thinking bout cleaning. 🤷🏻♀️
Btw any other moms get itchy? I looked it up and it was saying something bout puppp but I don’t have any bumps or rashes, I just feel itchy.. I could be sitting, standing, laying in bed. It’s so freaking annoying 😭

Could it be your skin is stretching and not moisturized enough?

@novamber25th, I haven’t been 100% on top of moisturizing but I do have 2/3 days a week where I rub cocoa butter all over my body. I’d understand if it was only the bump but legs, thighs, arms & even neck too?

@koshadillz, kudos to you! I wish I had the capability of cleaning rn I would be doing just that. The bump complicates bending down lol

Yea, pregnancy changes you in every aspect. My skin is more dry and itchy. I literally made my own skincare products because the store brands were not cutting it.

Do you really have OCD or just nesting?

@leslyev92, thanks for clarifying. Some people use it to describe urges to clean, which minimizes OCD for those who truly suffer from it! I hope you have support in handling yours. Good luck on your pregnancy journey! ❤️

@scruffy.nerf.herder, oh no, I’ve been suffering from ocd & anxiety for a couple of years now. I do have major support from my bf and I have taken the time to learn myself and my triggers so it doesn’t affect my life as much. It use to be out of control before when I had no idea what was going on with me, thank you ☺️

I had the same itchy problem during one of my pregnancy’s! I was told it was because our blood supply is increasing lol and my doctor used to tell me to not use any scented lotion or soap also add oatmeal to my bath😘Good luck momma!!

@melissaredfield87, lol well that makes sense & I showered with 2 different kinds of scented soaps lol 🙄 I’m gonna have to look for another soap. Thanks!
