Hi there,

As you know many women say itching and pregnancy go hand in hand BUT when it causes you constant annoyance and lack of sleep then it is time to see your doctor . . There are a few medical conditions that could also be causing this itch and its best to get checked out . .

If your doctor checks you out and says its just a pregnacy itch then try using some Palmers Massage Cream for strecth marks

try putting oats in a stocking and soaking it in the bath the bath water will turn white and you soak in it. you can even rub the stocking over your tummy it will stop the itch. it even works with chicken pox.

Good luck.

well i when i was pregnant i tried every palmers cream but it seemed to make it worse i started getting small red bumps on my belly. i wasnt sure what it was til after i gave birth i was reading about pregnancy and it said at the end of your pregnancy your skin becomes like 50% more irritable plus the stretch marks!

Re: a tummy itchy

Some itching is very normal. You can try differnt lotions or soaking in the tub in a mix of baking soda and cornstarch( 2 parts b.s. to 1 part cornstarch) If the itching becomes really bothersome I would let your doctor know. There is a condition called PUPP,pruritic urticarial papule.  It does not harm the baby, but it is bascially really annoying.
