Scratching be gone!!!



anyone else having to deal with the unbearable urge to itch their bump!!! the skin under my belly button seems to be stretching and i cant stop scratting it its driving me barmy!!! i now have my first teeeny stretch mark under it which i thought id avoid and be lucky BUT NOPE! nothing soothes the itch!!! is there out that will stop it itching?

i sympathise - at about 32 weeks i was feeling very good about having avoided stretch marks, then all of a sudden my bump itched like mad for a few days, right at the bottom, and then . . . stretch marks!!! think it must have been a growth spurt. it still happens every so often, although the stretch marks don't seem to be getting too much worse. i have got some palmer's cocoa butter stretch mark cream (supposed to prevent stretch marks, hmm) and i find that rubbing it on and then having what my hubby refers to as 'naked belly time' helps soothe the itch for a while. i expect any moisturising cream would do the same job, but i love the smell and the feel of that cream.

on an amusing note, my belly was itchy when i went to bed the other night, and wherever i itched the belly monster followed me! it was sooo cute

Yes, I had it a few weeks ago and it went away after the stretch marks came...I'm covered in stretch marks now though...but I'm having twins so there's a little difference.
