Unbearable vaginal itch and dryness during pregnancy

Hello all, anyone has itch during pregnancy? It gets so unbearable and tempting to scratch but i try not to. So i wash more often, uses feminine wash but it gets so dry after due to frequent washing. And when i do scratch, sometimes it bleeds cause accidentally scratches too much on the skin and it hurts so bad to pee and wash after that 😭and it could be and feel fine today then suddenly it itches like hell in the evening. It gets so frustratingg! I have yet to ask for medication from my gynae but i have tried moisturizing, using cooling pantyliner to divert the pain and itch. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesnt.. And im so shy to let gynae check me below cause i cant shave properly due to my big bump (due in june) 🥲 Anyone has the same too?

Because of hormonal changes and body let out vaginal discharges that has pH imbalance hence mummies may feel dry, itchy, redness, odour, greenish, etc. So you should speak with your gynae, get a cream and apply. Avoid steroid, stop using whatever moisturizer and feminine wash. Use silk panties and stop using pantyliner. Use this method for time being and go speak with your gynae. Nothing to be shy or worried about because most mummies will have it. If you don't then when can your vaginal area get better.
