I usually ignore them but they have gone out of control itchy recently. A humidifier isn't a bad idea, @Clementine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-32796 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 09:19:49 +0000 Clementine 32796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been lucky, no itch but maybe a humidifier would help?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-32698 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:08:01 +0000 autumnlove 32698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am always itchy too! My arms and back are the worst! My dermatologist recommended Sarna menthol lotion which cools &amp; makes me itch less but it smells like crap!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-32691 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:55:24 +0000 chopsuey 32691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My tummy started feeling super itchy after I had my baby. I scratched it so much I ended up with a terrible rash. Had to go see the dermatologist. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-32688 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:51:33 +0000 Rosie Girl 32688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really itch with DS, but this time, Oh man! I got stretch marks on my back from DS from my skin getting stretched to the front.</p> <p>This time, my belly has been itching. And of course the boobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-32651 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:14:21 +0000 Boogs 32651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, my legs used to itch SOOOOO bad! The only thing that made it feel better was when DH would rub them with tons of lotion. I don't know if it was his rubbing, the lotion, or the combo, but that was the only way I would get relief. The worst part was that it was always at bedtime, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-32646 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:11:04 +0000 katdevargas 32646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. marbles - my itches correlate with stretch marks so far too! so it's basically just been my boobs that itch, though sometimes my lower belly itches, too. no stretch marks there yet, though *knock on wood* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16805 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:04:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 16805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My belly and boobs were crazy itchy, and I got some Blackthorn Body Oil made by Dr. Hauschka (love all their skincare stuff – you can order online, find in some salons and also at Whole Foods). It’s designed for pregnancy to help with stretch marks, and it makes your skin really, really, really soft all day long! Other than that, extra lotion, which I usually have to do heading into winter anyhow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16359 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 22:47:14 +0000 skibobrown 16359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My back has been super itchy. Unfortunately, mine definitely results form the fact that my skin has gone crazy since getting pregnant. My back is as bad as my face ever was when I was a teenager. It's oily and dry at the same time, and I'm developing backne. Groan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16287 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:31:54 +0000 junebugmama 16287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm reading this while scratching my tummy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16283 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:29:55 +0000 momosakura 16283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had extreme itchiness when I was pregnant. To the point where I was scratching myself raw. I am pretty sure I had PUPPS. </p> <p>Try buying a bar of Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap off of Amazon. It has a strong scent, but it really works to stop the itchiness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16264 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:05:00 +0000 MsMini 16264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I went through some itchy nipple issues as well - it was annoying as hell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16251 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:54:53 +0000 banana 16251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was super itchy too (especially my belly). I constantly rubbed cocoa butter on it and it definitely helped. I used cocoa butter from The Body Shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16217 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:29:56 +0000 Coastinganon 16217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy LORD my belly was itchy! I attributed it to the skin stretching. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16213 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:28:51 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 16213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I itched a LOT and it usually correlated with new stretch marks so I definitely used lots of Palmer's cocoa butter to soothe the itch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16203 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 19:17:55 +0000 keiki_mama 16203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sides started getting pretty itchy around 18 weeks. A little water and jojoba oil worked great for to relieve it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-16188 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 18:56:44 +0000 Mrs. D 16188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boobs, belly and hips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15758 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:25:06 +0000 heffalump 15758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had pretty bad itchy belly. I used a lot of lotion, and my doctor said to use benedryl. But nothing helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15754 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 07:50:17 +0000 Stiletto 15754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I've been using a lot of cocoa butter...the itching was driving me insane! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15732 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 05:02:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 15732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have sensitive skin and tried all sorts of creams and lotions. What works best for me is simply: water + lotion. I basically go into the bathroom, get a handful of warm water and wet whatever it is that's itchy and while it's wet, I put on Aveeno lotion. </p> <p>I'm usually able to hop into bed and sleep itch free immediately afterwards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15450 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:32:06 +0000 Pipers Mommy 15450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was beyond itchy (at night to start- was convinced it was the new fabric softener that I used on the bedsheets) Then I got the I just don't feel right feeling. Went for a blood draw and was diagnosed with ICP - inter hepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and was immediately induced (I was 38 weeks 2 days). Super rare, and hoping that I never have to go through it again- but it has a tendency to reoccur in people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15435 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:11:35 +0000 mediagirl 15435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, the fact that we're getting into winter is not helping but this is worse than ever. Especially so early in the season. </p> <p>I'm so thankful my husband bought me a gigantic pump bottle of my favorite lotion as a "congrats, I got you pregnant" gift so I should have enough to last through this pregnancy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15430 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 15:07:08 +0000 erinpye 15430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm itchy, too. It sort of comes and goes, but some weeks it's like I can't scratch enough. My scalp, boobs, stomach, shoulders and back just itch like crazy. Contributing to it is simply the fact that my skin is getting drier now that it's Winter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15421 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:50:54 +0000 hreichard 15421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes i had that really bad. Talk to your doctor, it may be PUPPP, i had it really bad, especially in the summer. You can put hydrocortisone cream on it, oatmeal baths (but dont make the water too hot) and take benedryl (it's safe for the baby). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15407 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:31:49 +0000 Mrsbells 15407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it could be caused by dryness, my skin was especially dry in the 1st tri and is still kinda dry now, especially my back. I am constantly appying moisture rich lotions to my back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15390 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:15:02 +0000 tequiero21 15390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>um. tmi, but my nipples occasionally get really itchy. back too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15378 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 14:03:11 +0000 lavender 15378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel your pain, have insane itchiness, mainly when I'm sleeping. For me, it's literally my whole body, and I have more than once itched till I've bled. </p> <p>I did find out that I was having an allergic reaction/hypersensitivity to my DHA supplement, so once I stopped those I haven't been as itchy. But I just made an appt with my allergist, because I can't stand it anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15372 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:53:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 15372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boobs and belly were itchy because of the growing (first time around) but it hasn't happened yet with this pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15370 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:48:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 15370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmmm i don't remember feeling itchy while pregnant, but my boobs are crazy itchy post baby and they didn't grow at all this time around. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-itchy-omg-so-itchy#post-15368 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:46:44 +0000 mediagirl 15368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else experiencing/experience insane itchiness while pregnant? So far it's my boobs and back that have been itchy. I get the boobs, the back I'm curious about. Is my back growing??Haha. Hubs and I now have a routine down. Every evening he scratches my back until I'm satisfied and then covers it in lotion. </p>
