My stomach itches so bad!!! I use palmers cocoa butter massage lotion but it don't work... I still have stretch marks and now I am getting red dots and I itch like h*ll!!!! Should I stop using the stuff??? Anyone else have a really itchy belly? I am 33 weeks and it didn't start itching until last week... Do you think I may be allergic to the lotion or maybe its just irratating it bad... I can't take it anymore!!!

I thought I was just the only one. My stomach has been itching me recently for the past three weeks. I used to think it was just dry, but even when I lotion it. It stills itches after..

Really Itchy
My tummy itches a lot too and now so do my breasts. :( I use cocoa butter and lotion and it helps a little but not much and not for long. The worst part is the itching in my breasts. At school and other places I can sort of scratch my tummy by just rubbing it, but I sure can't do that with my boobs. Everyone says it's from my skin stretching, so all I can think is it's gonna keep stretching thru my whole pregnancy and then it's like omg does this mean i'm gonna keep itching like this from now til may?? I love knowing i'm pregnant, but there's a lot of things like that i'm not fond of. Lol

The streatching of your skin is what makes it itch. Don't scratch!!!!!!! That will make your streach marks worse, or give you some! :)
