Answer 1

put cocoa butter on your stomach after you shower(twice a day?) . it helped me

Answer 2

This sounds like the outer skin streching. Try some baby lotion or get some cream with Aloe-Vera. Cocoa butter is good.

Answer 3

I agree with the first answer cocoa butter helped me with both of my pregnancies and after the shower is the perfect time...if you continue scratching it will cause hideous stretch marks, your skins only itching because of the growth! Nuts isn't the word...lol I feel your pain!

I bought the stages lotion from curel. They have one for pregnancy and motherhood. It seems to help when my stomach is itchy.

Answer 6

This pregnancy rash is difficult to deal with and often occurs about this time. Make sure you are taking a high quality prenatal vitamin and mineral every day. There is a product called "Emergen-C" at health food stores now. It is a package of extra vitamins and minerals that you add to water and drink. This can help to take care of this pregnancy itching from the inside out. Best wishes, G

Answer 9

Sorry to dissapoint you, but there is really not much. Rubbing alcohol worked somewhat for me but it might make your skin a little dry. I also liked ice packs and I would place it over my stomach. When I want to fall asleep its worse so what i do is soak a small towel in alcohol and place it over my stomach. It feels really good since its hot outside.

Answer 10

The only thing that actually worked for me was baby oil.

Answer 11
