Had baby one month ago and have super dry skin! What do you do?

Question

This is not my first baby.

first two babies i had, i had mild hair loss. But with this third one, i have super dry skin. I'm drinking liquids (water, juice...) all the time.

I have chapped lips but my skin on my face is so dry that it itches and is scaly. i have to put moisturizer on my face before applying my foundation.

i don't think i can drink anymore than i'm drinking already.

has anyone had this happen to them? what did you do? i'm assuming i have yo wait till my hormones get into balance again. how long did it take for you?

Answer 1

Ask your doc when you go for your 6-week check up

Answer 2

Are you still taking your prenatal vitamins? Having a baby takes a lot out of you and you should still be taking the vitamins for at least 6 weeks to help balance things out, because you might also not be eating right if you are like a lot of mothers after just having a baby.
