Itchy Belly

MommyWannaB10

I have an itchy belly, it's not constant but enough to drive me nuts when it acts up! I think part of it is the panel on jean/pants, but the under belly pants are not comfortable and always fall down because my belly pushes them down. Anyone know of any good crams or lotions that would maybe help?

I had PUPPs and I used cooling gold bond (and everything else the dr would let me try). I liked the green bottle gold bond lotion though. I hope you get relief!

Do you have a rash or just itching? Can you tuck a tank inside the panel of your pants? I def think certain materials make my belly itch more. Mine itches when it's stretching. I mostly use the Palmer's stretch mark cream and also Burt's Beas Mamma Butter (or whatever it's called), which I like bc it's pretty lightweight and not greasy. I had a viral rash all over my belly, back, and thighs for a while and the best thing for that was aloe gel. Also tried the Gold Bond anti itch cream and that seemed to help. The rash was miserable and at first I thought it was PUPPS... I feel so bad for the mommas who have this!!!!

I don't think it's PUPPS. There's no rash that I notice, just crazy itching! I pulled the panel on my pants down and I still am itching! Ugh! I feel so bad for those who do/did have PUPPS, I think I'd go temporarily insane.

I use Mother Love Pregnant Belly Salve.  It works so well on the itches!

If you're just itchy, I found The Body Shop's Cocoa Butter Body Butter was amazing. Used it last pregnancy and needing it again!

Oh the itching. It was seven years ago for me, but I still remember it!  I think I used that Palmers coco butter? Keep your nails short so you're not tempted to scratch away

I scratch like crazy, sometimes I use my hairbrush it's so bad. I know I shouldn't!
