Arrggh! My belly’s itching badly! I’m really tempted to scratch it but the thought of horrid stretch marks make my hands back off. My OB doesn’t recommend applying any creams (anti-itch lotions and moisturizers) since there are still no proven studies that these mixtures are actually effective, according to her. Between 75% to 90% of women develop stretch marks during pregnancy and it’s a fact and phase that I just have to accept and face (pregnancy hormones again!). Actually, I can see some marks start appearing already :sob: I just hope that they disappear in time. The only means of appeasing and lessening the chances of having it is by not scratching it no matter how itchy it can get.
For those Mommies out there, how did you deal with these?

hi mai! i don't think the scratching causes stretch marks.. it's hereditary e, if your mom has them, malaman meron ka din.. nasa elasticity ata ng skin yun (or something, basta parang ganun).. ang sarap kamutin no? ako, pinapakamot kay husband yung tummy ko, pero hands lang, walang kuko.. namiss ko tuloy hahaha masarap kamutin e hehe weird!
oo nga hereditary yun pero ako mom ko konti lang kaya ako barely visible parang wala nga actually...
i used cocoa butter stick from body shop, ewan ko lang pero you can try it... i put it everytime makati sya kaya i also bring them at work at nung nasa hospital ako.
some women nga put socks sa mga kamay nila when they sleep para di kuko kasi baka magsugat pa if gamitin mo nails mo... saka ako minsan i put socks then hinihimas ko lang circular motion yung tummy ko... :)
enjoy the rest of your pregnancy. ingats
Palmer's Cocoa Butter ang ginagamit ko. Yung fragrance free since I have atopic dermatitis, di pwede yung may amoy. So far ok naman siya, wait ko lang till 6 months na ako kasi that time big na talaga ang tummy ko. Kainis nga, as early as now may stretch marks na ako huhuhu.
Yes, It do Itch during initial stages. During the period of abnormal growth Its when you generate stretch marks. Get the itching at bay by using Stretch Marks prevention creams.
