extremely itchy stomach!!!

[tncxoxo]

hi ladies I'm 38 + 4 days pregnant, due May 18th & my stomach is soooooo itchy, ive asked my doctor about it before and he said its just from my tummy stretching,  so im not worried just wondering how many other mommies itch constantly?? I feel like a dog because now I love when my fiance scratches my belly!! haha

40+5 and mine just recently started getting extremely itchy bcuz of the nee stretch marks coming in): I try so hard not to scratch bcuz it makes stretch marks worse. I try and use lotion when it starts to itch but sometimes it doesn't help):

Well it doesn't cause them but it will make them appear darker or more visible.

And scratching doesn't cause stretch mark, your skin is stretching, some people get them some don't.

I'm 29+5 and I itch around my belly button all the time, its so annoying

[kcarter2498]

Don't itch it! That's what causes stretch marks to appear! Apply lotion when you get the urge_!!

I'll be 39 weeks @midnight & I feel the sane way.. wet a wash cloth with cold water and lay it on your belly!! It helps

Yes! I'm 39 weeks and I itch all the time!it gets so bad that I have to use my hair brush then it starts stinging but gets right back to itching ughh!  My doc told me its because of my skin stretching that keeping it moisturized would help besides my mom says when u scratch it gives u strechmarks so I just pat (for now)
