HELP! I stretched out so much with the baby in 24 hours my skin itches and hurts. What to do?

Question

My whole pregnancy I used my 7 year olds stretch marks. I am 37 weeks tomorrow and yesterday morning I woke up with new ones. My skin stretched so much that it was like a sunburn... my whole stomach and legs were red and warm to touch. They are sore and SO itchy. And so dry. I used baby oil and lotion. What to put on it????

Answer 1

You can try cocoa butter or shea butter. They are gentle and soothing and really help to moisterize.

Answer 2

Cocoa or shae butter. Helps A LOT!!!! There is stuff specially made for stretch marks during pregnancy...it's called mothers friend. I used it my whole pregnancy and only got 2 stretch marks.

Answer 3

Besides lots and lots of lotion, drink plenty of water! You can hydrate all you want on the outside, but if you don't hydrate the inside as well, you'll just have the same problems all over again! The better you keep yourself hydrated, the more elastic your skin will be--so....less stretch marks!
Good luck!

Answer 4

CREAM CREAM CREAM!!!!!!!!!!! Palmer's Coco butter for stretch marks or there is also one for pregnancy... you can find it at walmart. I used it throughout my whole pregnancy last time and never go one stretch mark. I am using it again. It is a great, try that out.

Hope that helps a little.

Answer 5

I like Shea butter. You can buy it just about anywhere that sells lotion. Make sure shea butter is the first ingredient. It really helps.
