Hi all - i'm 21 weeks & this last week i've noticed my skin has been getting drier & drier then for the last couple of days i have loads of flakiness almost everywhere but worst on my arms / boobs and top of my legs and bottom.

It seems to be getting worse and it starting to make me feel uncomfortable in places now.

I have been lathering myself with every body lotion i have at home and nothing seems to be helping.

Please does anyone have some advice - i'm trying to drink loads of water (not easy when you are peeing for England amyway) but nothing seems to help. Its so attractive to have skin dnadruff over your black clothes too (sorry!) JoJo xxx

Hi Jojo, that sounds terrible u poor thing. I dont know if thats pregnancy related or not? Im not a doctor so dont take this 100% its just what worked for me, Try oilatum bath lotion its really nice and is great for dry skin and E45 cream after your bath, as for flaking skin on your scalp, i had this before, i went to my g.p he gave me a special shampoo for dermatitis on my scalp, it smelt foul but worked great.x

poor you. i think pregnancy changes everything including your skin. I have the opposite problem, i usually have perfect skin but since i have been pregnant its been greasy and i keep getting spots! Sophias right try oilatum and e45 and stay away from perfumed products as they can make it worse. If it gets unbearable see your GP. Hope it clears up for you! Toni x
