Itchy Belly

Hey there! My name is Laura and I’m 21W4D with an EDD of 12/22/24. Yesterday, my belly began itching really bad and I’m sure it’s because of the skin stretching. Anyone have a go to routine to keep their skin moisturized and/or help with elasticity? This is baby #2, but my son is 16 years old, so I feel like this is my first pregnancy because I barely remember ANYTHING from the first time I was preggers!

  • I was given some Basq stretch mark butter that was really lovely, but now that it’s gone, I’ve gone to the Palmer’s cocoa butter set, and although it’s a bit greasy if you use the oil, my skin feels just as moisturized and itch free!

  • Last pregnancy, I have tried a few types of butter since the beginning of the 2nd trimester and although my skin felt moisterized and healthy, I am still covered in stretch marks from that pregnancy... So I must admit I will only apply it as needed this time around.
  • Any lotion will work, really. Make sure you apply after you shower! I usually do lubriderm
