Itchy!!!!!

[Jayceesmumma]

Ok I know bumps get a bit itchy with the whole stretching of the skin etc.. But my bump, legs and arms are really itchy most of the day and after I've gently scratched my leg it gets tender in the muscle like a dead leg... Wtf??

I've been really itchy too!!! When it was just my stomach I didn't mind obviously but now the front of my shins are really itchy as well. Oh the joys of being pregnant!!! xx

Sooooooooooo annoying!! but relieved im not the only one!!

I dont think scratching gives you marks babe, the itching is a sign of them coming.. if ur gonna get them ur gonna get them unfortunately... dont blame yourself for scratching xx

I'm itchy too, if I forget to put lotion on I am itching all day! The lotion really seems to help me.

 

[Jayceesmumma]

What lotion do u use?
im going to start using my palmers cocoa butter again..

 

[katiee24]

hmm.. i was told dont itch them or theyll come out more.. knowing me i heard wrong! haha.. the stuff i use is working a treat tho.. i use mothercare bump & beyond smoothing out stretch mark cream! i could see a difference in days

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Im not sure if scratching makes them worse or not.. all i know is its the skin underneath tearing under the stress of the skin stretching/hormones.. i suppose if you scratch vigerously then it can worsen them or make them redder.. but ive had very itchy bump in all my pregnancies and constantly scratched and i never had any.. (touch wood i dont now!) yet i didnt have an itchy butt and they are all over my ass lol!
I suppose its the same with everything else, everyones bodies are different..

I regularly smothered my bump in palmers with the girls.. maybe that helped? either way, if your gonna get them.. your gonna get them

My belly is really bad! I've scratched that much my stretch marks bleed! I just put LOADS of e45 cream on and it usually soothes the itch

 

[Jayceesmumma]

Blimey! Maybe ease up on the scratching or cut your nails

e45 is good for that

I am itchy! Have been for a few weeks now, I already have a road map on my stomach, so a few more isnt gonna make a difference too me, however I have started using the Palmers Cocoa butter & I find it soothes it & takes the itch away

Love palmers used with my girls and my tummy has been mark free and its eased the itching
