bumps on stretchmarks???
bumps on stretchmarks???
they itch SOOOOO bad. I'm 37 weeks 3 days and my belly has barely itched the whole pregnancy. I do have some stretchmarks across my lower belly. but they've never really bothered me. but the last 3 days they have been itching and burning like CRAZY! and now they have bumps on them. and nothing I put on them works. it's making me absolutely miserable! please help. is this normal?? should I call my OB? what could it be? :(

oh my goodness. I hope they stay on my belly. I've been getting so emotional and crying every night bcuz I'm so miserable :(
and I am not usually a sad, depressed type of person. I don't feel like myself at all.
and then I feel guilty for feeling so bad. bcuz I wanted this, I wanted to get pregnant. and now I just complain :/

@Jenn1184, Go to your dr. also. They can give u medication to help u sleep and some stronger hydrocortisone. Good luck!

I'm 39 Weeks and I had the pupps rash. I tired everything!!! Pupps is the worst thing ever. Itchiness last for about 2 Weeks. Sorry to day it won't go away till u give birth. I used GRAMPA'S Pine tar soap (get it at a health food store), aveeno oatmeal baths, and Dandelion tea. I know exactly how miserable u must feel :-( Use it ASAP.

@redheadmommy yes I have :/ my Husband has eczema so we have all kinds of anti-itch creams, healing lotions, and moisturizers in this house. and I have tried everything we have and nothing has worked. it'll stop the itching for a minute or two, but that's it.
@jenn he said don't scratch!?!? impossible! lol. waayy easier said than done. I made dh sit on my hands last night, cuz I'd already scratched til I was bleeding :(

Have you tried hydrocortisone cream? That should at least help with the itching. Even holding a warm wash clothe on it should help for a bit. But I would still call your doc just in case, and so that they are aware. It could simply be dry skin, or it may be PUPPS.
