help, i'm itching

I remembered bchai mentioning something about an oatmeal lotion that can give some relief to itching during pregnancy. I’ve been doing some shopping here and there but I didn’t see any oatmeal lotion being sold here in Cebu. Or maybe I just didn’t look hard enough.

Right now, I’m itching all over my belly. My back is itching too but it’s not quite as itchy as my belly. I tell you, it’s not fun to itch like this. I’ve been trying to control the itching by trying not to scratch it, like it’s a mind-over-matter kind of thing. Sometimes I can’t help but scratch it a little. And a little bit more. Now the sight of my stretch marks is getting worse.

  1. Oh, Meretrisha, I feel your pain. If you can't find oatmeal, try an old-school remedy my friend taught me: rub a little bit of olive oil. The olive oil will help the skin stretch a bit and relieve a bit of the itching. I know the itching can become so intense, you go crazy over it.

    Try a bit of baby powder for now to see if anything helps a little. :)

    ...don't worry, it's not long to go before your angel arrives!

  5. thanks bchai. will buy olive oil if i can't find that oatmeal lotion. we will try going to ayala as jenneth had suggested. yeah, i'm going crazy over the itch that i'm so looking forward to D-day :)

    shan, i'm not sure if cocoa butter helps. vannex gave me one. i've been using it but i'm still itching. it helps as a moisturizer though.

    hi net, thanks, i'm not an ayala shopper but we'll definitely go there if this itching doesn't go away.
