Painful Stretch Marks

[Tiny2012x]

Hi Everyone!

I seem to have gotten loads of stretch marks out of nowhere in the past few days which doesn't bother me as I know it is part of pregnancy but they are sore to touch? Its so stingy that I can't even get comfy in bed without feeling like my stomach is being ripped open I'm not bothered by their appearance but does anyone have any ideas what I could do to sooth the discomfort? I've tried moisturiser but it doesn't really do much to relieve it. Tia x

I have them too but they are not too bad and they don't hurt at all - I'm using bio oil on them but as mine have never hurt I am not sure if that helps with pain or just appearance. Worth a shot though... x

May help to put a stretch mark cream in the fridge and apply before bed. x

I used Nivea moisturiser from the fridge, really helped cool them down and took away the sting.

Its the Nivea moisturiser I've been using but never thought to stick it in the fridge, might try that tonight failing that I'll try the bio oil or something similar, just wasn't sure if that was more for appearance rather than the discomfort x

My skin is extremely tight and stingy around my belly button - I find aveeno cream is very soothing xxx

If it gets really bad you can get something prescribed from your GP hun.

Try aveeno cream lovely, mine was itchy and sore to touch and not only has that stopped but the marks seem to be clearing up already and I haven't even had little miss yet xxxx

Thanks for all your suggestions ladies, ended up going to the GP today as literally couldn't sleep last night with the stinging, she's prescribed hydrocortisone cream, so we'll see if that helps x
