Took a few trips to say it was that and not something else. My ob gave me a cream. It has helped but hasn't gone away. 15 months post now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-eczema#post-1426563 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 17:15:54 +0000 autumnlove 1426563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it bad during my first pregnancy! :-( I went to the dermatologist a few times and they just told me to reapply lotion 5-6x a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-eczema#post-1426458 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 15:12:20 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1426458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had wicked eczema during pregnancy, but it was ALSO during the winter so it was hard to tell. But I haven't had issues with it this winter, so I'm chalking it up to the pregnancy.<br /> I used Aveeno Eczema care, avoided hot showers, covered myself in coconut oil occasionally, and put cold compresses on the worst spots. It went away with the warmer weather. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-eczema#post-1426362 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 13:41:33 +0000 mrs. 64 1426362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually only get eczema in the spring, but I've had it for the last few weeks all over my chest (where I've never had a problem before) and the itching is driving me crazy. Is this pregnancy related or just due to a colder winter? I'm using Eucerin eczema wash and calming cream to no avail but I don't want to use my topical medicine during pregnancy (12w today). I'll see the OB on Monday and plan on asking her, but is this normal for pregnancy? If so, how did you deal with the itching? </p>
