Stretch marks

Im a first time mum, I'm 30 weeks pregnant just now and have the worst stretch marks, they're so itchy it's unbearable. I'm up all night with them. I've used all sorts of things (bio oil, aloe Vera gel, emollient cream) I'm at my wits end with it. My midwife and doctor are saying there's nothing that can be done, it's just pregnancy. So was wondering if you guys new of anything that could help?

    Hi! I'm 33 weeks and my stretchmarks are dark and super itchy too! I started using organic coconut oil twice a day and lathered it over my belly--it definitely helped me out! Good luck! :)

    I try to drink a gallon of water every day, and you'd be amazed at how many skin issues go away with proper hydration. Topical treatment is sometimes great, but make sure that your body has the right amount of water to function properly.

    I agree with using the organic coconut oil. I am 32.5 wks and I've been using that my entire pregnancy. I am just now starting to get a few marks on my bump but the oil does help a lot!

    Try to cool them down with a bag of frozen peas or corn or something, maybe.
