Itchy skin!!

[emmab96]

I'm currently 25 + 5 weeks and for the last week or so my stomach has become so itchy and I don't want to scratch it as I don't want to make my stretch marks any worse but it's so itchy!! Does anyone have any tips on how to stop it from being so itchy? Would really appreciate it

Please get this checked out with your midwife, it is probably nothing but there is something called fatty liver that occurs in pregnancy and one of the symptoms is itchy skin. Very treatable but very dangerous for mum and baby if not treated

I had this too, probably just the skin stretching. Just apply a good moisturiser or oil a few times a day. Mention it to your midwife though, especially if you start itching elsewhere, there is a liver condition called cholestasis (I think!) that affects pregnant women and can cause itching.
