Disgusting Things That Pregnancy Does To Your Body

Red, Chafing Thighs

Just-Health

Chafing and skin sensitivity is a constant thing during pregnancy (and sometimes even after). With the swelling that's happening all over the body, expectant women who have never had this problem can become irritated with the slightest thing touching their skin. Textures that were previously okay become the reason they want to tear their clothes off in public. Lotions and beauty products that were okay before cause allergic reactions. Thigh chafing becomes a fact of life. Invest in thigh-length maternity panties to prevent the problem in the first place or use lots of cornstarch. Alternately, find something like Chubrub to reduce friction and prevent chafing.
