Dry skin

Hey ladies I was wondering if dry skin I normal during pregnancy? I've had 3 kids before. The last one was 4 years ago so I don't remember if that was an issue. The dry skin is on my breasts and I have this patch on my forehead. My legs seem to be dryer as well. I was just curious if thi is normal. Thanks ladies, michelle

The hormones wreak havoc on skin and hair!  I've had the opposite problem with my skin this pregnancy - it became oilier....but more so when it was warmer int he summer....it seems to have stabilized now.

I have dry itchy skin even when I'm not pregnant and I find that Eucerin Calming Cream works the best. It's a little pricey but I think it's worth it. I don't know if it's normal but I haven't heard that it's not.
