Since becomming pregnant, I have had very chapped lips. I NEVER got chapped before even without chapstick. Did anyone else get this symptom?

Pregnancy uses up a lot of fluids for your blood and amniotic fluid, sometimes not leaving much for keeping your skin and especially your lips from drying out. I have been having the same problem with my lips and with the backs of my hands.
I have found it a great help to use Olay Quench body lotion and hand lotion. I use the hand lotion on my lips and backs of my hands and it doesn't wash off, even when I wash my hands or lick my lips. When I put the lotion on my lips, I put lip balm over it as an extra protective barrier.
I hope this helps!

Ya know, I am the same way. I never put two and two together with being pregnant since it didn't happen with my first. Yeah, I have gone through like 2 tubes of chapstick in the past week and a half. I drink about 10 glasses of water a day though, so I think I have plenty of fluid. Don't know why, but I am in the same boat! I am 13 weeks along now. Good Luck!

I am 17wks 1 day and i have the very same problem. My lips were never like this until about 7/8wks into my pregnancy. I have found this great conditioning lip balm which works wonders but yes, i thought it an odd symptom of pregnancy too!!!

Yes, I have the same problem! usually carmex works great for me, but not even that will work for me right now! I go through chapstick like crazy!! Hopefully my lips will go back to normal after the baby is born!
Good luck and congrats on the pregnancy! :)

YESSSSS.. no matter how much chap stick I put on they are still chapped... I bought the medicated kind that is in a little twist off cap, it helped.

I had to put carmex on my lips every night when I went to bed. I helped so I didn't have to continually apply something during the day.

You might not be drinking enough. Try getting more fluids and using lip balm. Good luck.

ME TOO!!! Chapstick doesn't seem to work for me, either.
