My stretch marks became so thin that they bled, it looked alot like scratches. Lotions and other home remedies did not help me at all. I am 5'1" and was a little over 100 pounds before I got pregnant. By the third trimester my stomach seemed enormous. I also experienced preterm labor with all three of my boys. It was cramping that was similar to menstral cramps along with contractions (belly tightens and becomes hard). If you feel uneasy or concerned at any time call your doctor. If you experience pain or cramping, definately call your doctor or if it is moderate to severe, go to the ER. If you have questions or anything, feel free to contact me. Good health for you and your baby and may your delivery be mild and quick. Blessings.

Ok the best answere I can give to you is that the "scratch" marks aren't scratches, they are strech marks and they do look a lot like a scratch. Yes it is normal, even the perfect celebs get them, and baby's move inside so it's normal for it to feel like something is trying to get out. Don't worry, hang in there.

Yes the baby does want to come out eventually, actually two months for you. And those scratch marks are probably stretch marks-- red squiggly lines that appear on the belly of many pregnant women. They also appear on people, men and women, usually during puberty. They are on the breasts of developing girls, and sometimes on hips, arms, thighs etc where the skin can't grow fast enough so you get these stretch marks. I don't think anyone is trying to get out of people's arms or thighs!

They are probably stretch marks, if the skin isn't broken open- otherwise you are scratching yourself- either way- to help heal and avoid more stretch marks, open a couple capsules of liquid vitamin E throughout the day and rub the vitamin E on your stomach like a lotion- it will soak right in, and will help you skin heal and stay healthier throughout the rest of the pregnancy- you have quite a ways to go yet!!! If you are in serious pain- see your doctor!!

You're having a youngster in combination so love it or no longer you're going to regularly be concerned in every others lives from right here on out; married or no longer, you're going to ought to be peers (within the very least). Put your foot down and get him into extra counseling so you'll be able to both repair your dating or realize it's time to transfer on. If you do not then it feels like you're on path to quite turn out to be despising every different and that's no longer going to be well to your youngster. If he refuses to make the effort in counseling then possibly you've your reply.

They are probably stretch marks. The 'thing' inside you is not trying to get out. Its having a BLAST swimming around and having fun.

u should mention this to your doctor but it sounds like your little one is just being active (unless you're having pains)
the stretch marks are apart of pregnancy

You are probably scratching yourself in your sleep. Try putting some moisturizing lotion on your expanding tummy to keep it from getting dried out.

Could be the baby moving, unless you're one of these "werewolf" nuts. If that's the case then you're baby is going to rip out your insides, you'd better beat him to the punch.

Maybe early birth. BTW, not to be mean or anything, but is it hard to sit at the computer and type? Cuz the keyboard seems far away.
