I know exactly how you feel! My stomach has been ridiculously itchy! I sit at work, scratching it all day long! I try SO hard not to, because I've heard scratching can make stretchmarks worse... but it's SO hard to ignore!
I havent changed anything either and I'm ALWAYS moisturing my tummy... so I have no idea. But it's bad - sometimes my stomach actually gets raw from me scratching so much. :(

Added xjustmex :D

MommyKC I know it's horrible isn't it! :(
I went to the doctors and she said because I am under 20 weeks it isn't anything to worry about. There isn't anything she can do apart from give me Piriton which she said I can take before bed but only when I'm desperate so girls I guess it's another symptom we just have to deal with! :rofl:
 
I didnt know scracthing made stretch marks worse, i will def have to stop that then. Its my hips that get itchy and always itch them and already getting stretch marks and imonly 17weeks tomorrow

Yeah I read that the other day. I didn't know either but I read that scratching makes the skin thinner and more susceptible to stretch marks (you would have gotten them anyway, scratching just makes them worse apparently?). Either way, it's probably not great for our skin to be scratching it until it's raw... but sometimes it's really hard!

Thanks i will really try and stop, i use coca butter the proper one recemended from when your pregnant. I also getting really itchy on my legs so im guessing ive got dry skin. ive started to use a all over moisturies on my legs and that helps. Try that see if it works for you, just an idea as you may have tried it

Thanks hun! I was actually at my midwife's office yesterday and she wasn't concerned. Like Brunette Bimbo said, I think it's just a symptom some of us have to live with! :shrug: I never had this with my daughter... but I guess that's why "they" say every pregnancy is different! ;)
 
How's everyone doing tonight?
Hope all you ladies had a good day! xx
 
Hey girls are we getting excited!!! I have 10 days till gender scan and it cant come soon enough!!
