Tell her to try not to itch it. Itching ur stomach can cause more stretch marks and for me I know I itch a lot but was told its just the hormones and could also be stretch marks coming in

When I was pregnant with my first child I broke out in a rash called PUPPS at 35 weeks. It began on my belly and spread to my arms and legs. It itched horribly. I lost sleep over it. The only thing that helped was delivery. It completely disappeared after a week. I'd ask your doctor if they think this could be a possibility. Just an fyi also if it does turn out to be PUPPS, the rash is very common in the first pregnancy only and also tends to happen if you are carrying a boy. Good luck!
