Palmers tummy butter

Armyratt

Anyone use this and have a problem?! Dh picked me up some at the store and after using it I have broken out in this red itchy rash on my bump and boobs. If the rash does not go away by tomorrow I will call my ob and see what they want me to do but be warned fellow preggos :-/...and of course this happens the day dh leaves for the field for a month...

No, I've never heard of that! Did you get the rash instantly after the first use? I use Burts Bees Belly Butter and that seems to work well. Maybe you should try that instead?

My dermatologist told me that even if you used lotion with a certain scent/smell/etc before getting pregnant you could get a rash from it when you are pregnant. So I bet that's is what happened to you. Which stinks because I live for the Palmers cocoa butter oil and lotion! I would call your doc...but I hope its as simple as a reaction for you!

I used it then overnight I got the rash. I have been using the Bella B products but ran out and have not put a order in yet but I will try the Burt's stuff if I can find it in stores. Thanks

Make sure you wash off all affected areas, be careful though not to let the run off get into even more sensitive areas.....You should be able to take a Benedryl and see if the reaction goes away within 24hrs!

Good Luck and sorry that this happened to you!

Yes! I did with DS1 and I have not tried it since then, it was awful. It will go away in a day or two, try taking an oatmeal bath.

Oatmeal bath and benadryl are great ideas!  I have not had this happen so I just hope you fel better soon!  I live for the Palmers, but I also use Spoiled mama and its just divine in a bottle.  Good luck!

I use it and haven't had any difficulties, although it is not helping with stretch marks! Hope your rash clears up quickly.

I have super sensitive skin and broke out from using it with my first. I just use lubriderm, eucerin, or cetaphil lotions that have no smell or additives.

My midwife recommended not using that butter because of the caffeine (through skin, going to baby) I've been using coconut oil instead. Maybe try that? Hope it works for you. xx

Try bio oil. I'm obsessed with it and put it on twice a day religiously. No allergic reactions here and I love the smell.

This! And you can find the Burt's Bees Belly Butter at Target.

I use this Palmers. On the back it says to test on a small area and wait 24 hours before applying to a larger area since pregnant women's skin can be sensitive and break out in to a rash.

I was lucky and this didn't happen to me.

I also use Burt Bee's Mama Bee Belly Oil and it works great.
