Itchy belly

njdean12

Baby is due August 4th- my stomach is sooooo itchy! I'm constantly scratching it. I've tried burts bees mama bee belly butter, tru blue spa from bbw Shea lotion, cooling lotion from bbw, need company stretchy lotion & this stick with cocoa butter from the body shop. I've actually caused blood to draw from how much I'm scratching. Sometimes if I splash cold water on my belly it helps. Anyone else dealing with this/ have any solutions?

Have you tried bio oil? It's a little pricey but I find I have very little itching. Also, pure cocoa butter is another great option.

Coconut oil has worked for me. 38 weeks and no stretch marks as of yet. I guess there is still plenty of time!

I have read that coconut oil is one of the few oils that reaches below the surface layer of your skin (stretchmarks affect below the surface of the skin), and as a user of coconut oil 2-4 times a day I also don't have any itchiness or stretchmarks so far! Add some essential oils to it if you are not a fan of the smell as is.

I am super itchy too! Only lotion that helps is Nivea Cream. It comes in a tin and is super thick so it cuts down on the itching for a few hours.
