First Pregnancy & Itchy Stomach???

[childondaway]

Hi Everyone,

I am 20 wks and the last few days my belly has been really itchy...

Is this normal and what can I do to stop the Itching??

I used Palmers Soothing Oil for Itchy Skin. It has a preggy belly on the bottle. It helped heaps.

Word of warning though, my very worst itching happened when my stretchmarks came in so if you aren't already doing it get going with something to try to avoid them. I used Palmers Tummy butter and the stretchmarks only came in after I stopped using it the day I gave birth.

Yep, that will be the streeeetching!!!

As above - used Palmers soothing oil and cocoa butter.

Didn't stop the stretch marks for me (even though I applied religiously every day), but helped with relieving that itching!

Definitely get going with some kind of moisturizing routine. It really does help with how tight your skin starts to feel from here on in.
