Stretch Marks, Rash and Itchiness

How can I prevent stretch marks on my body

Many doctors believe that there is nothing you can do to prevent stretch marks.  No matter what the anti-stretch mark cream makers tell you or how much cream you apply.  Other medical practitioners believe that you may be able to reduce the chance of stretch marks if your skin is supple and well-toned.  Some say that lightly stretching your skin between your thumb and finger and then applying the cream may help in keeping the skin supple.

I am breaking out in rash. Help!

These eruptions are known as PUPPP (Pruritic Urticarial Papules & Plaques of Pregnancy), a condition which appears in the first pregnancy and disappears after delivery, never to appear again. It may also arise in the form of stretch marks on the thighs, arms & buttocks. An antihistamine, carticosteroid or topical medication might help.
 

I have a terrible itch on my abdomen

As your skin is in the process of stretching, this is only normal. As this continues, your skin will feel dry and itchy. You can try an anti-itching lotion for relief.

Itching is very common is pregnancy. But it can get worse during third trimester. Kindly consult your doctor/midwife :- -If you have terrible itching which is making your night sleep impossible. - Itching on palms of hands and soles of feet - If itching gets worse during evenings/night. Above mentioned "could be" sign of Intrahepatic Chloestasis of Pregnancy (ICP). It means the bile salts might have leaked into your blood stream causing you to itch. If left untreated it can be life threating to the fetus. It usually starts in third trimester but there are few who have this condition from the middle of pregnancy. For more symptoms & information on ICP kindly check the following link : http://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Intrahep atic_cholestas is_of_pregnanc y

hi. this is my second pregnency. try vitamin e oil for preventing stretch marks. apply it generously over the stomach, thighs,etc, wherever the skin stretches twice a day, preferably after bath & before sleeping at night. i did this after 3rd month in my first preg.& continued till the baby was 3 months. i do not have any visible stretch marks. am doing the same now.

the only way to prevent stretch marks is to drink lots of water, moisturize with whatever lotion or oil regularly and gain only prescribed weight and exercise and eat plenty of fruits and veggies. avoid junk like plague. this i bet will work if followed strictly. it is only 9 months, its good for you and your baby
