My skin is peeling like a reptile :(

[Moenke77]

Hi everyone. I'm so happy I found this forum! I'm 30 and this is my first pregnancy.  I'm 15 weeks and in the past 2 weeks, my skin has begun peeling everywhere: legs, belly, arms, even face.  I've tried everything I can think of including Eucerin Calming Creme, Vaseline, 100% Pure Shea Butter, Sunscreen.  I use a very gentle Dove body wash for sensitive dry skin that has no fragrance whatsoever.  I take my vitamins and drink plenty of water.  I'm a registered dietitian, so it shouldn't be anything diet related.  Please help!!  It's getting warm and I don't want to spend the spring and summer in pants and long sleeve shirts. I read that some pregnant women experience excema, but my sister has that and this doesn't look the same at all. Does anyone have experience with this????

have you talked to your doc about it?  possibly a dermatologist?  my skin gets really dry during pregnancy...  but not to the point of peeling.  i hope you can find some relief for it!  i know even w/ how dry mine is its really uncomfortable b/c it feels like its stretching and its tight...  like on my arms and legs.
