The last couple of days my stomach is really itchy! What can I use or do? My sister told me not to scratch cause it develops stretch marks, is that true???

    I've never heard scratching to cause stretch marks. I thought they were caused by too quick of growth too fast. Drink lots of water and use lots of lotion. Have heard oatmeal baths help too, but never tried that one myself.

    I 2nd coconut oil, but any kind of mosturizer would probably help. And scratching does not cause stretch marks. I don't think there is anything you can do to prevent or cause stretch marks.

    Stretch marks are genetic. Nothing can prevent them or make them more likely to happen. Some people are just predisposed to get them while others are not.
    Some people find comfort in putting on stretch mark creams. You do you.

    I'm 17 weeks today, too!!! Can't relate with the belly stuff yet, though (I'm heavy, so my skin hasn't really been stretching yet).
