IS ITCHING AFTER BATHING A SIGN OF PREGNANCY?

I have never heard of that....is it all over or just on your stomach? Usually after taking a shower or bath, my skin will itch if I do not put lotion on. Usually because your skin was exposed to so much moisture being as it was in the water that when you dry off, your skin becomes dry as well. Try some lotion maybe...? are there any other signs you might be pregnant?

Hello,

Itching after bath is not a sign of pregnancy.If someone has itching after bath,it can be due to some of the constituents of water like chlorine causing allergic reaction to some individuals.In that case applyin an anti itch cream or taking antihistaminic like benadryl will be helpful.

Signs of pregnancy feeling sick, or vomiting in the morning; fullness, prickling sensations and heaviness in breasts; feeling like urinating more often; feeling unusually tired and lethargic and increased vaginal discharge.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.
