Tummy Itches

Does anyone else get this? I am 6 months pregnant and sometimes, my belly itches, it almost feels like a rash...but it isn't. However, when I scratch where it itches, little red dots appear like I've broken capillaries under the skin. Is this normal? They do fade after awhile.

Start to use lotion...lots of it b.c that itching and broken looking skin are stretch marks creeping up...TRUST ME!

hi, its probably just hormones and stretching skin but there is also a condition related to the liver in pregnancy which causes itching. If it doesnt improve then I would ask your doctor. good luck

i have the same little bumps you're talking about and they itch like mad!!! ANd I have them on my legs too. It doesn't seem like lotion helps it any, and the more I scratch at them, the bigger the patch gets. Just try not to scratch at them is the best advice I can give.

Sounds pretty normal. My belly is itchy now that I am getting bigger. I try to put lotion on it at least once a day and avoid really hot showers which seem to irritate the itchiness. I get the same thing when I scratch at my belly or chest, little dinky red dots, which I a__sumed were broken capillaries as well. My best advice is try not to scratch.... easier said than done of course! :)
