Itchy Stretch Marks

[aylaanne]

Hey Y'all,

I'm 41w3d now, and for the last week or so, my stretch marks have changed. They used to be indents, now they're all raised, and they itch like crazy. Anyone have any ideas for how I can relieve the itching?

i am having the SAME problem! i even posted the same post a week or so ago. i use lotion or oils, but the one thing that seems to work is oatmeal....but i have to either take a hot bath or shower to open the pores before putting oatmeal (oatmeal juice) on them. but it works WONDERS!!

I had the same thing a few weeks before the babies were born. I bought plain yogurt and slathered that on my belly - it was so cooling and soothing. Also an oatmeal mask was great too (I made instant oatmeal really thick and slathered it on my belly).
I also did some corn starch made into a paste with water and a few drops of TTO - really soothing too, but messy.
