My tummy was super itchy all over during that period too! Gynae recommended ‘Basic’ moisturiser. Not sure if Watsons/Guardian have them but I kept buying mine from the hospital pharmacy. It’s cheap too! Apply twice daily especially after shower. My skin is a lot better now although there are still some marks from all that scratching.

please moisturise daily & dont scratch. what i did was, after i shower apply once. i use qv. at night before sleep i use bio oil. but up to you. i also use su balm my fav.

Use bio oil, it’s good! Keep applying it. I’ve been applying it since first trimester before the itch started and thankfully it’s all good!

Its normal to feel itchy at your tummy during pregnancy. Try not to scratch😊 if u still feel uncomfortable then consult doctor

Some people might have that. Mine itched just a little but tolerable. Put cream on your stomach daily to ease the itch.

Yeah, it’s normally dry and itchy but yours is kinda severe. Do apply moisturiser/lotion regularly.

I’m using burts bee mama bee body oil after every shower. Helps keep my skin moist!

Normal! I applied calamine lotion and got some cream from my gynaecologist
