Itchy Belly! Suggestions?

Question

Hey Moms! 30 weeks and my belly is growing by the day. Also starting to get insanely itchy. I moisturize a few times a day with organic coconut oil but it doesn't seem to be helping this week. Any suggestions on how to ease this lovely symptom? 😬

Answer

Everytime it gets itchy you just need to reapply lotion or oil. If it isnt the fabric bothering you then it is your skin absorbing the product you use. Just squirt a bunch in the hand and put it on, dont even work it all the way in but make sure its everywhere from your thighs to your neck and your butt  and lower back as well, around your hips too 😉

Answer

Nivea body milk with almond oil😍😍

I have intense itching all over and it drives me crazy!! My friend suggested this anti itch cream that has worked like a charm. I think it's called serna. It's steroid free so it's safe to use. You only need a thin layer and voila! I usually take a shower and then apply the cream. If I have to reapply (because it does wear off) I take a shower to open up my pores. Otherwise it doesn't seem to work. Good luck!

I'm 29 weeks and I'm the same way. I have a few stretch marks that are multiplying too:/

Answer

For any other mamas suffering with this, I took the advice below and started apying oil 3-4 times per day. 8i let it sink in then apply coco butter overtop. Also only wear loose fitting and natural fabrics when possible. Itching is completely gone since then. And (knock on wood) still no stretch marks!

Answer

Are you wearing any full panel maternity pants? I noticed that wearing that spandex all day made me way more itchy! I started folding it down and the itchiness got a lot better. Just lettin' my bump breathe! my dr said I could use 1% hydrocortisone too but that didn't really help me 😔

Answer

Towards the end I started doubling up- first coconut oil, then a heavy lotion on top! Coco oil alone didn't cut it!
