Hi!
How are you all doing? I am 16 weeks and 5 days. I was wondering if anyone has a very scratchy feeling on your tummy? Donno for the past two days I feel like scratching my tummy a lot. Does anyone know abt any cause or remedy for this? Do let me know.
sk replied. i m also in my 17th week n i hav been havin the feeling of itching for quite sometime now...bt the doc says that it is normal .
i hav been trying to use lots of moisturiser at the nite time n it does help me to sleeep peacefully at nite.
shilpi replied. try cocoa butter.that really helps and also helps in reducing stretch marks that will appear later after the pregnancy. Sonu replied. Thanks Sona and Angeli for your reply. I think lack of moisture makes you feel like that. Shall try using some cream and hope that helps. Have heard that if you scratch the marks remain badly for a long time. So be careful.
angeli replied. Hi Sonu,
I read about itching when the skin stretches. I think you can try a good moisturiser.
Cheers
Angeli Sona replied. Hi ,

I dont know much about the cause of this but yeah i too feel like scrathing my stomach, and have slight itching (at times) on thighs, chest etc. I asked my O/B about the same(by the way i'am also in my 17th week), she said everybody's pregnancy is different and is full of weired symptoms!! My monm says scratching does happens at times, nothing to worry about. Its probably due to hormonal changes ....body has to cope up with lotzaa things and we have to take care of our little ones inside!!

Wish you all the best.

Sona.
