Anyone else got a very itchy bump?? I have been putting vitamin E cream on everyday since about 12wks and so far i havent got no stretch marks but for the last 2 days my belly has been so itchy.

Hi Stacey

I also have a very itchy bump - and have done all the way through really and I'm now nearly 33 weeks pregnant. I have been using Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Cream for Stretch Marks since about 12 weeks which has helped with the condition of my skin and as yet have no stretch marks, but unfortunately does not take away the itching.

Also as my belly button is starting to pop out it has become very discoloured which doesn't look very nice, almost like a brown colour. Very attractive!

My sister just used Johnsons baby lotion and said this helped with the itching and skin so maybe you could give that a try.

I just think it is another pregnancy symptom that we have to endure but I think I could cope with anything knowing that little bean will soon be here.

Take care

You told me a few weeks ago to put sudocrem onc my rash and silly me didnt think of that, even with working with it as part of the job, try it. it does help with itchy, either that or you have caught flees from the dogs and the pups, lol

best thing i can say is, dont itch lol!
easier to say than to do

Heya hun,

me too my belly is so itchy and it's driving me insane, ive been using cocoa butter since i found out i was pregnant and i didn't get stretchmarks with my previous 3 either (lucky me)

Im not sure how to stop the itching, but i would be interested in any remedies people have as anything has to be worth a go.
