I have noticed that my belly is itchy. I am 14 weeks pregnant. It happens once or twice a day. Is this normal? What causes it to happen?

Very normal, it's caused by your skin stretching. Try some cocoa butter.

In a word YES. It is normal. I am not sure why, I think it has something to do with the growing and stretching skin on your body, even if you don't look pregnant yet.
I have a weekly e-mail sent to me for every week that I am pregnant that tells me what to expect. I can't remember what the name of that web site is, but a great site to check out on your own is....
www.thecmr.com
It is a Canadian site, but it has lot of good information
If I think of the other site I will let you know.

yes this is very normal i was the same . I also noticed a lot more hair on mine too. I think its caused by the stretching of the stomach plus the line of hair you get down the middle of your stomach when your pregnant.

Yes but do not scratch you'll cause some very bad stretch marks that later they wont be able to go away.. so look for a lotion with cocoa butter but if ur alergic try baby oil and rub on your tummy.

Very normal in the beginning of pregnancy. It's from your skin stretching.
If it happens and gets really bad toward the end of your pregnancy then you should contact your Dr. Because it could be a liver problem (forgot the name of it).
But early in the pregnancy is no big deal.
Congratulations.

yes, it's totally natural, I might be sixteen btu i have had enormus weight gauin at one point, when the skin strecths which yours is now to acomidate your little gift, it becomes extremely itchy, I sugest going to your pharmancy and buying some cream fo the strech marks so they will not be as bad as mine, it should help control the itchy. Try tnot to scrath too much, you dont wnat to break skin and get infections!

Yes it is normal.and the bigger you get the more it itches so you should go buy some lotion for the itching.It is not the same as normal lotion.And I´ve heard that baby oil works too.

yeah it's normal. it will begin to itch more as ur baby grows. buy some Palmer's cocoa lotion to help sooth the itching and prevent having so many stretch marks.
