Itchy belly..

Couldn't be stretch marks already could it?!

I'm not sure but don't scratchhhhhh lol my mom always said it makes them worse

I keep putting a cold wet cloth on my belly to try and stop it itching.. It only started this morning Weird!

I use to rub my itchy belly with my son, but it didn't help I still got angry red lines. Do you have any cream? that might help sooth it too.

Use olive oil or shea butter to rub your tommy. Keeps the stretch marks away - so says my gran!

I heard that Palmer's cream is good. I got one and started to use it like when I saw the positive test.

I think the best thing is to put cream from the time u know u r preggo. And dont scratch!! If u can!! hehehe

That's right Suzan, Palmers is good or the real cocoa butter! I use Shea Butter now.

Well I always use it or cocoa butter on my skin anyway, I'll just up the frequency now ...

Use cream - that palmers one made me itch more, but try that. Also theres bio oil or the one I swear by (even now) is this one from Boots own pregnancy range - Honey Olive and Neroli (ask for it when you're there). It's lovely!

I had such an itchy belly when pregnant too!

I have cocoa butter, I could use that I guess. I thought stretch marks were heritry? If they are I'm screwed LOL

They say if your mum had stretch marks, most likely you will too.. no matter how much you moisturise. I moisturised a fair bit and still got angry red stretch marks just like my mum. Moisturising will help though! so keep doing it mornin and night.

My mums aren't too bad, you can barely see them now but when she was pregnant they were DISGUSTING lmao
