Stretch marks!?

[sophcooper]

So I'm 31 weeks pregnant and have really bad stretch marks which I'm coming to terms with but they are currently soooo itchy! ? Any advice on how to ease this as it's so uncomfortable 😩😩

Aww so sorry OP. I've been using bio oil every single day of my pregnancy and so far I haven't got one on my stomach (but do have them on my boobs). I find the bio oil really helps the itching for me too x

Keep slapping on the cream/oil. Your skin itches due to the stretching. I don't have any stretch marks (yet) but my bump has been REALLY dry (flaky skin round the sides) so I've been lathering myself in moisturiser and bio oil. Make sure your drinking enough water too, dehydration effects the skin.

Stretch marks suck. I’m 19 weeks and already getting them. I’ve started using bio oil, but use E45 lotion to help when I’m really itchy

I'm nearly 30 weeks and my skin is so itchy! No stretch marks on my bump but do have some on my bobs. At the minute I'm using bio oil one day and then the next I'm using the palmers tummy butter, it's really thick and takes away the itch!

Hi op!

I'm the same! Started getting bad stretch marks from 30wks am currently 37! They're so sore and itchy I try not to claw at them but can't help it! I was using bio oil from day 1 but didn't stop them appearing so must just be in my genes! I spoke to a pharmacist and he suggested e45 itchy relief cream. I use this twice a day and keep it on the fridge!! Feels amazing! Unfortunately doesn't heal them but soothes them for a few hours! Hope this may help you x

another tip- if you have sharp nails cut them short! My nails grow very quickly and are the best weapon to attack my tummy 😂 end up looking like I've been attacked by a lion!

All the best x

In the fridge lol *

Thank you everyone xxx
