Oh my itchy belly!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
All of a sudden this week my belly is SO itchy! I haven't gotten any new stretch marks yet, but the ones I have from my other pregnancies are SO itchy. I had been using my favorite origins lotion and that just wasn't cutting it so today I bought some Burt's Bees belly butter and that seems to help a lot, it's a lot thicker than my other lotion. I don't remember it starting quite so suddenly with my other ones but it's definitely the right time.

Ah, the joys of pregnancy!

Mine too!! Not fun! My MW at my last appointment told me to use oil instead of butter because it penetrates deeper... which I TOTALLY forgot about until I started itching last week! Off to the store I went the next day and it has saved me so much itchiness. I can def tell when its time to apply more though because the itchies come back.
