Like to the point where blood vessels look irritated or bruised. Anyone else?> Please any advice? I try not to scratch but umm ya its too unbearable

Lotion?  

totallyshocked

I had that for a few days in the beginning...I asked my mom, who is a lactation consultant, and she just said to use lotion. It didn't really help but the itching subsided after a couple of days.

thanks and congrats!!!

I have it too, coconut oil really helps me

I hear you! It's pretty hard to itch your boobs discretely in public. I second the coconut oil or probably most other oils should work. Ps just saying but why the negative /sarcastic remarks on here "get a better lotion"? Isn't this a place for support not a place to make others feel dumb for asking a question...

@Jessmat You can't be serious with this? If you think THAT comment was negative or sarcastic I suggest you pack up your things and head on over to baby center right now.  WTF

My comment of "lotion" was because I was in the middle of BF and only had one free hand.

Im not my any means a sensitive person but I do think "get a better lotion" wasa bit rude in a way perhaps suggesting one that works would have been a better thought   ...... I have multiple lotions and of course I have tried many of them (shea, hyper allergenic, baby lotion, cocoa butter). But I agree that this is for positive help and support. Lets all just be nice and grow healthy babies! That being said I will def try coconut oil. I am now starting to wonder if the heat is a factor since Im living in FL and its hotter than hot. Thanks for your advice moms and good luck to you all

*looks around*... where am I? what is this nonsense?

coconut oil works wonders, and ice can help ease itch if nothing else is working.

PP's opinion is to get a better lotion.  That was a bona fide suggestion.  Come on ladies...

have you tried an oat meal bath/soak? I get very itchy in the winter and the perfumes and chemicals in lotions can sometimes make it worse so I either take a oatmeal soak (I buy the aveno stuff) or use a scent free lotion.

That sounds amazing! TY

Pregnancy and nursing are the only times when I had relief from my itchy boobs.

Try breaking out the lanolin/ lansinoh early (thin layer) or the coconut oil.

I wasn't talking about your lotion comment I was talking about the person who said get a better lotion. I'm not offended since I'm not even the one that wrote the damn post I'm just annoyed seeing certain people on here being negative. Maybe I interpreted the comment the wrong way sometimes it's hard to say over the internet. All I was saying was this is supposed to be a place for support I don't think that makes me overly sensitive.

I think Aveeno makes an itch relief lotion. I'd try that or something similar.

@Jessmat‌ this is not a support group. It's a public message board.

Having a thicker skin shouldn't be a requirement for a 1st trimester message board.  Are you trolls even pregnant?

It's more like a requirement for life.

I wasn't aware I HAD to be pregnant to post on a PUBLIC FORUM.
