I can't find my original "itchy stretchmarks" post I made about 10 weeks ago so I've started this new one.....

I had REEEEEALLY itchy stretchmarks at about 30 weeks PG but then after 2 weeks they finally settled down and they were fine!! Now... the last week they have flared up again and I am in so much agony trying not to scratch and itch them all day long.....

NOTHING helps! Cold packs, anti-itch cream, ezcema creams don't help, stretchmark cream doesn't help..... BLAH!!!!!!!! the pain is getting me a bit down

I don't expect anyone to offer any suggestions as I've probably exhausted all my options but just really needed a whinge I guess......

As soon as I've had my baby, will these itchy stretchmarks stop itching??? As the skin shrinks back down is it going to be just as itchy??? Please say no.... I've really copped it with the whole stretchmarks thing!!! Some of them look like big whelts and are swollen... its so awful
