Do you have a rash with it on your belly? You may have PUPS. I had it with my first! It was awful. Yes it’ll go away. But it’s worth a call to your doctor too. They told me how much Benadryl I was able to take and told me the most effective and safe anti-itch cream to use. I should have bought stock in that company I used so much. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it, all I can offer is hope as it will go away either by or after delivery!

No rash and no stretch marks either. Just really uncomfortable itching:(

Itching is normal- brought on by the skin stretching.. nothing to be worried about

:( well, no rash is good! (Trying to find a bright side). Would still recommend a call to the doctor or nurses line. They may have some good advice. I think I also took some long soaking baths (watching the temperature of course) with an aveeno product of sorts that helped too. Good luck! I hope you find some relief.

Thanks BA1, appreciate it!! Will be giving my doctor a call

I had that too. Dr recommended a lotion called Sarna the anti-itch one and it was super helpful. Though it made me feel a little cold in the moment

I'm currently 7 months pregnant and every night I get so itchy too. It's awful! Hope we both see some relief soon.

Use palmers cocoa butter cream. You can get any drug store. Works wonders and it helps tremendously

I had terrible skin itching around 8 months too!

I had it so bad around 7 months. Cocoa butter helped for me. Lots of lotion!

Wow…covid is really over. I live in a rural area where we knew covid was happening but it never really impacted the community or daily life. However when I’d go into the city it was very very obvious there were huge life impacts and fear. I just went into the city for the first time in about 3 months and it’s like covid never happened. It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.

I have a boss from hell. She’s the GM of my hotel and she is a mean girl that never grew out of highschool. She loves gossip.

I want to stand up but I’ve seen her retaliate on people who have tried to. Help.

I quit. I was respectful. Thankfully, every person I have told has been so nice, and I wasn't immediately bounced out by my leadership (which has happened), but I have been surprised by my own bittersweet tears. If they actually cared, why didn't they say so sooner? I gave so much, and I was consumed by this organization. I invested in them, but my investment and dedication were not reciprocated, which is why I ever even entertained leaving. I don't know why it hurts, but it really, really does.
