Itchy
I am almost halfway through my pregnancy and as I am growing, I am so itchy!! My nipples and belly itch so badly. I keep myself very moisturized daily. Is there any remedies you moms to be have to help calm the itch??
Itchy tummy = stretch marks
It may be obstetrics cholestasis a condition where you itch all over very common during pregnancy and occurs at night the worst. My doc prescribed me an antihistamines and I was even taking a half of codine pill...not recommended at all but I itched so so bad and was my insomnia was driving me nuts. A pharmacist told me she took fenegrin...I'm sure the spelling is off, but this just helped knock her out so she could sleep. It's really for nausea. The cure for this is to not be pregnant and will end once you have baby. A drag I know trust!! :/
Vitamin E oil helps.
Awesome, thank you! I'm going to give it a try
I exfoliate really well in the shower then use palmers skin therapy oil.
I also use lotion but the oil really helps. I'm at 24+5 and im hardly ever itchy anymore bc I use the oil twice a day... no stretch marks yet either:)
