I am Currently 27 weeks pregnant and my stretch marks are terrible. Tonight they felt irritated so I looked in the mirror and one of them were bleeding. They hurt more than itch and with the bleeding I am worried. Maybe its just my hormones but is this normal??

    Have you tried anything like A&D ointment? Stretch marks are unavoidable unfortunately, but there are steps to help alleviate some. Drink plenty of water, and keep hydrating your skin with lotion. For the ones that are bleeding, I would recommend some neosporin to prevent any infections. If it still concerns you, you could give your dr. a call. Hope they start to feel better soon!

    Occasionally, bleeding can happen. Your poor belly! :( 

    Try staying off your feet and reclining as much as comfortable to take the pressure off from your belly. As PP recommended, try some A&D ointment, pure vitamin E oil, bio oil, aveno, etc. Anything heavily moisturizing.

    Just going to add that bleeding stretch marks are fairly common/normal.
