i am 3 1/2 months preg now and my boobs are really itchy and its annoying..?

Question

does any1 else get this? why do they itch? x

Answer 1

They are just now itchy. Goodness I wish I had such luck. With my previous pregnancy and this one now, I have had this problem beginning at only a couple of weeks pregnant. i guess it is due to them growing and preparing for motherhood. I rub lotion on mine every night. I'm not sure it is helping, but I do it. Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm in the same boat, even at 6 months. Wash with a moisturizing body wash or bar (I use Caress). Then, slather conditioner (any kind) on your breasts and rinse off. Afterward, apply a lotion (I use Palmers Cocoa Butter Stretch mark lotion). I do the same for my tummy, and that helped a lot. The itching is due to stretching and growing, and keeping the area hydrated will help.

Answer 3

yes, the same thing happened 2 me when i was pregnant with my daughter. they get itchy and stuff because the skin is stretching because they are expanding and getting bigger. Plus all the extra hormones in ur body. To deal with it, first dont scratch! you will get ugly stretch marks, 2 avoid the stretch marks use cocoa butter lotion or cream. the itch will go away eventually. :-)

Answer 4

My skin got so itchy I'd literally leave claw marks on myself at night. (It was great I tell ya! lol) A couple of things worked for me I had to use different lotions on different body parts because they didn't all agree with me...lol that was fun too! I started out with using baby oil gel (it's not as greasy) after I'd get out of the shower but was still wet (it helped it absorb better and again was not so greasy) then for my stomach,legs, arms, and rear I'd use cocoa butter. But for my hands and boobs I'd use Udderly smooth (My husband thought that was hilarious but it made me feel more like a cow! lol But it worked!) Good luck ...I know how aggravating that is!

Answer 5

Yeah, it could be your skin stretching.. dont itch them b/c it can make stretch marks worse... believe me, my sis in law scratched like a dog on her belly, and she hardly gained any weight, but she had the WORST stretch marks ever...
Drink more water, it helps your skin, and apply some sort of cocoa butter, and take some baths with baby oil. it will help

Answer 6

AAAAHHH the wonder of pregenacy!!!! You breasts are itching do to homonal changes and often an increase in breast size. Your body is getting ready for milk production when you give birth! Many other changes may occur to your breasts... such as change in size, color of areola, sensitivity, and even some women have fine hair growth or nipple changes. If it continues to be a problem consult doctor for medication safe to use to help relieve incthing... Many women have used creams to help reduce stretch marks such as udder cream on their breast also.

Answer 7

Well, I guess I could scratch them for you. No problem, I just a nice guy and try to help out when I can. :-p
Many of the gals here tell you straight. You may try Olive Oil, I know it very good for the skin. Also, Vitamin E may help, it in a capsule and you just poke a little hole in it with a Pin and rub the liquid around.

Answer 8

that's normal mine did too. they're itchy cause they're growing and the skin it stretching and that makes your skin itch if you start to get a rash or if it doesn't stop then see your doctor about some cream

Answer 9

Your skin is getting stretched and it's too dry. Get the cocoa butter stretch-mark prevention lotion and start using it daily!
