Itchy belly!!!!

[babymeg]

Hi ladies, I'm really hoping someone can give me some advice?? I am 26 weeks pregnant and I have the itchiest belly in the world! I have been scratching so much I have a rash on it and its not pretty, mw says it's just skin stretching that causes it. What is the best remedy to get it to stop itching? What can I use? It's driving me mad and my husband is starting to think I have fleas!! Please help x

I found cocoa butter worked wonders, as did getting DP to rub it in for me!

It's horrible isn't it?!

I've found massaging twice daily with Palmers Coco butter works a treat. Or Bio-oil if you don't like the smell. (Buy on Amazon; half the price!)

palmers - that's the one I mean. I've got a newer one that doesn't smell loke cocoa (green bottle, think it has vitmain e in it which will help the itching more)

I've got the same thing. I have been using Bio-oil in the morning but will start using it at night now too and hope that helps!
