Stretch Marks

in 3rd Trimester

For those of you with them, how did your skin feel before they appeared? Was it itchy or did it feel irritated or anything like that?

While this is my 3rd pregnancy, I didn't get many with the first 2, luckily. However, the last few days the bottom part of my stomach has felt this irritated, almost slightly burning feeling. I'm wondering if it's a sign of stretch marks to come?

What was your experience?

    Most likely stretch marks.  That's how mine felt.  And worse, after the stretch marks appeared I got PUPPS rash (which is incredibly itchy red dots/rash).

    The parts that were irritated for felt tight... never got stretch marks. In fact I never got any until this past week. I thought I was in the clear...

    My stretch marks have appeared in the last 2 weeks aside from the ones on my boobs. My skin has been super itchy and little by litter there are little stretch marks showing up Sad  So that may be a sure sign...

    The areas where I got stretch marks itched really bad and then had a kind of burning sensation. I won't itch them but of course they still come Smile

    Yea, watch out for PUPPPS. I'm actually getting induced because of it tomorrow... It starts out as really itchy, red stretch marks on the belly and then develop sore-looking things on the stretch marks. I pray this is not what you have and simply feel stretch marks coming! Cocoa butter will likely help with the itchiness of on-coming stretch marks. Unfortunately, it does nothing to take them away...

    I'm pretty sure it's not pupps. It's not really itchy much at all, just a here and there. It feels a bit tight also.

    I'm really hoping to avoid any new ones, but I'm sure I it's inevitable!
