Pregnant after a Loss
itchy stretchmarks???
I started getting a few red stretch marks below my belly button about 3 weeks ago, but in the past 4 days, they have like multiplied into a million and are SOOO FREAKIN ITCHY I SWEAR I WANT TO RIP MY SKIN OFF!!! I find myself waking myself up at night by scratching and it's horrible. Anyway, now my whole lower half of my belly is covered in almost like poison ivy bumps on all the stretch marks...I'm a bumpy, itchy, red hot mess...anyone else have this happen to them?!?!?!?!!?!?!

Re: itchy stretchmarks???
Yup. My stretchmarks were red, puffy and at first itchy but then they HURT.
Gold Bond lotion made the itchy go away, at least a little.
If it gets out of control, it might be PUPPP, which is a pregnancy rash that your doctor can treat.
