Don't scratch that means your skin is stretching. Scratching causes stretch marks!!!!!!!

[Bellababy2013]

Its more than likely just from stretching...but there is a condition that can occur during pregnancy. Cholestasis- its a problem that affects the bile absorbtion in your body and causes excess salt build up in your system. I was reading about it the other day. Google it or check it out on baby centre.

Palmers tummy butter helps alot. It oils the skin well and can prevent stretchmarks. It's really oily but helps

Your skin is stretching. Never stops stretching until you give birth. Don't scratch. You'll cause your skin to split and that's what causes stretch marks that NEVER go away. Just keep rubbing lotion on it. Make sure whatever you use has absolutely no alcohol in it.

Im 26 Weeks are i'm the same. But I realized with this pregnancy my skin is very dry :/. But it's not fun always scathing.

Lol... I know right! I just don't understand why its happening for me now at this stage. I didn't have this problem in the early months.

[mom2boct]
