The Itch
Well there is one of three things going on with my tummy now. I am either getting new stretch marks *crosses fingers and prays this isn’t true*, have really dry skin due to having to turn the heat back on the last couple of days due to 30 degree temperatures, or I’m beginning to get the “pregnancy rash” that I had during the last week of my pregnancy with pnut. I have a feeling it is a combination of new stretch marks and the heat. It sucks but I’m doomed to have a road map for a stomach for the rest of my life. The “pregnancy rash” usually doesn’t happen until the last week of pregnancy and goes away after you give birth and since I’m 7 weeks or so away that is obviously not the case. I have some red spots on my stomach but I can’t determine if they are fresh stretch marks or irritation from scratching so much. Lotion doesn’t help at all. Nothing helps. I know I shouldn’t scratch but that is like trying not to sneeze, it is just bound to happen.

I dont think you’ll get any more stretch marks than you got w/ pnut. I didnt. And my belly did itch just as much this time around as the 1st. So I think thats normal
Its re-stretching whatever has been already stretched before haha. Hang in there girlie. I put BABY OIL all over my belly to help the itchy feeling… sometimes helped.. sometimes didnt. Just kinda got to get your mind off it.
