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?

thought I was the only one and I can totally relate to this! I do tend to scratch my v especially when I sleep (can't help it sometimes) so last 2 weeks, I went for brazilian waxing (I'm at 39 weeks now) which helped alot as I think the itchiness partially came from the rough short hairs poking at each other. I didn't shave my below anymore as I noticed it just made the itchiness alot worst. Trying getting yourself Brazilian waxing! I also change my pad every now and then because of the discharge. I would recommend putting coconut oil as well as mentioned above.
