Itchy belly ? Stretch Marks ?

Any one else experiencing these random itching belly episodes ? It just comes out of nowhere it's driving me nuts I don't scratch as much as it kills me to.. I just rub my shirt or bio oil on but it still won't stop and may I say I was hoping to get good results from the bio oil I guess I have to be patient, I've been using it for about a month going on two. My stretch marks tend to fade then reappear really red any one else with the same problem ? I'm 32 weeks.

Yes the band on the maternity pants make me get real itchy, I try to avoid them and stick to leggings because the band was driving me crazy and I guess since it's winter my skin tends to get dry although I apply my bio oil everyday.

Before I got pregnant I only had some little white stretch marks on my thighs. Didn't really bother me. I am 31 weeks and 5 days and still don't have any stretch marks on my belly. However my boobs are a different story. When I found out I was pregnant I started using palmers coco butter on my belly, sides, and occasionally my boobs (didn't have stretch marks on them yet). I slacked off a lot and about a month ago stared noticing small white stretch marks on my boobs. My husband went and bought me some bio oil so now religiously I have been applying that all over my belly sides and boobs. For about a month now my belly has itched non stop. I keep on thinking it's cause my belly is stretching but I kind of wonder if I'm allergic to the band on maternity pants. I just hope that doesn't mean I'm going to start seeing stretch marks on my belly now. I really don't scratch that much I just rub my belly through my shirt and apply lotion. Very annoying tho.

I started. Using bio oil when I was 5 weeks pregnant and I'm 35 weeks now with no stretch marks on my belly. Although my thighs are a different story, I didn't start putting bio oil on them until I started seeing stretch marks. The problems is not knowing where I'm going to get stretch marks other than many belly. Once you get the stretch marks it takes forever trying to get rid of them, although I think that bio oil is definitely the best I use it twice a day. And as far as the itchy moments, is definetly because you're stretching just keep rubbing bio oil on, DON’T scratch lol. You might get a little pink from the rubbing or it being itchy but don't scratch. And I think that the stretch marks might take about a month if not longer to go away, but it's just a waiting game since we keep stretching for our babies! Hope I could help! :)
