seriously dry lips anyone?

[SoonToBeMum]

i thought it was just the weather but after a few searches on google iv discovered that its really common in pregnancy, it started off last week and the only way i can describe it is that feeling you get the morning after youve spent the night drinking a bottle of straight vodka (which i have never done ) but they felt really 'tight' and then i woke up on thursday and they was all chapped and horrible and its just been getting worse and worse, im probably not helping though because i will completely forget and start picking them, but they hurt soo bad!
just wondered if anyone else is/has suffered with this and has any tips on how to ease it, i cant use vaseline because the texture makes me go all funny

mine have too!! its so weird as I have never heard of it as a symptom and I described it exactly the same way, as the same as when you've been drinking loads! I am going through pots of cream on my lips trying to moisten them!

i didnt think it would be a symptom either which is why i googled it because i dont normally get chapped lips in the winter and i actually found a thread off of this forum from like last year saying the same, so thought i would make my own thread and see if any others have it because then i can actually call it a symptom

OMG i didnt even know that was a symptom! I never get dry lips but the past few day they have been majorly dry last night i did a really BIG smile and my lips were so dry my bottom lip split a litte! Ouch lol

I have! I've needed to wear chapstick or lip gloss. I assumed it had something to do with the dry mouth/throat I'd been experiencing.

 

[letsgetfat]

i really thought its the weather causing it as from last 2 days i am having very dry and chapped lips.

 

[Miss_BB]

Yup! My lips are in a horrendous state - been applying lipsil, vaseline, coconut balm the works for the last few weeks!

 

[Sooz]

Mine look horrendous, they are actually black in places from old blood where they have cracked. It looks like I've been sucking on a biro.

 

[girlygirl:)]

How funny, mine have been really dry and they never normally are but I'd never have put it down to being pregnant until I saw this thread!!

neither did i, im quite happy now because i can actually say i have a rock solid symptom

My lips were actually splitting, not good. Especially the top one. And wake up with a totally dry throat. I didnt know it could be pregnancy causing it. My brothers girlfriend gave me her carmex, its worked a treat x

my top lips the worst one, iv got a bit of a cold at the moment, and always wake up coughing which normally results in me being sick

 

[mamadonna]

i just got my today and for the last week my lips have been horrendous

 

[MommyWishes4]

wow, I had no idea that was a symptom. I've definitely had that over the last two weeks or so and just figured it was the cold air moving in.
