DISCHARGE FROM BREASTS
AND ITCHING
Discharge from
breasts is the most common phenomena during pregnancy.
This is most common and there is nothing to worry
about. However see your doctor if it is bloodstained.
Mild itching is common in pregnancy because of the
increased blood supply to the skin. In late pregnancy
the skin of the abdomen is stretched and this may
also cause itching. Wearing loose clothing may help.
Itching can also be a sign of more serious problem
called obstetric cholestasis. If itching becomes
serious, or you develop jaundice, see your doctor.
Itching which is associated with a rash may also
need treatment if it is severe.
