Pregnancy Info HOME

my daughter is 33 weeks & the itching is driving her crazy. It is itching so bad that, sometimes, it is painful! She's had the best luck w/ a bar of soap that I use from Motherhood. It's called "Pregnancy Belly Bar". It lasts longer than anything she's tried so far. One other lotion that has helped is "Palmer's Shea Butter Formula" This only lasts for about 1 hour. The Belly Bar lasts about 4 hours. The soap costs around $5.00, but if you don't keep it inside the shower, so it doesn't get wet often, it will last much longer. You may also try to pure Vitamin E or Bag Balm. You can find b oth at WalMart. With the Vit E, make sure it's thick oil & not mixed w/ "sunflower oil" or any other kind of oil. I'm going to call my local health food store to see if they know of any other remedies. GOOD LUCK!!! I hope you find relief. When I was pregnant w/ my daughter (1985) I did not experience anything like this. My husband once suggested that now a days our cattle are fast fed, probably using hormones, our vegetables are fast grown w/ no telling what kind of chemicals. Why else would these children, my daughter included, grow so fast, at ages 12 & 13, have stretch marks on their breasts, thighs & legs ??
Sincerely,
Rhonda
