Is anyone else experiening this!?!?!?!?!?! It's driving me crazy and I can't get any sleep at night! Is there any lotion or cream I can buy to help me! I also heard that scratching is what causes stretch marks...is that true?
Wow, Im experiencing the same thing as you and its horrible! I have eczema covering my back, arms, hips, and sides of my breasts. I have tried many creams but they are not helping or if they do its only when applied! I am constantly scratching which I know doesnt help. I have never heard of stretchmarks appearing from scratching, I was told it has to do w genetics. If your mom got them you most likely will as well.
UGH! Me too! No rash but I just ITCH! Oh my goodness! It just about drives me nuts. I have to have DH scratch my back because it will itch SO BAD! And under my boobs, my boobs, my belly, my hips, all over but no rash or eczema just itching. I don't remember having this with DD and it's driving me NUTS!

The things that I have found that work best is the Jergens Naturals Smooth lotion, and also Arbonne's RE9 Body Lotion and Serum. Any lotion and body wash that has oatmeal and soy in it would help with the itchiness, but if you live in a dry, cold area... having a humidifier on will help also.
Stretch marks can be mostly blamed on genetics. If your family has them, you will also.. or you will get them if you already got some from growing hips!
Yeah itchy skin! Not nearly as bad as the 3rd trimester itching but still driving me crazy! I use soaps made from vegetable oils and moisturize with natural lotions. When ig gets really bad I use coconut oil (organic and refined so it has no scent) after a shower. I thnk the stretch mark thing is incorrect. I did not get stretch marks when I was pregnant before and my belly was huge!
Hi - I woke up today to a lovely slight pink rash covering my blooming belly. It doesn't itch much but a friend told me it is just irritated from my skin stretching. Try aloe.
My body itches day and night.....it's driving me CRAZY. I have no rash or anything....just itch all the time. I've tried several creams/lotions but nothing is working!!! I have my husband and my 5yo daughter scratching my back for me constantly. I was really hoping this was going to go away after the first trimester but obviously not!!! It's gonna be a LONG 5 months until this baby is born.
Glad to know I'm not the only one!!!!!!! Last night I bought Curel Itch Defense lotion and St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter lotion and they seem to be working ok but I have to reapply frequently! I need something to knock me out when it's bedtime though!!!!!!!
Heard of this ??? PIOG
