To stop that maddening tickle, hydrate your itchy belly with remedies for dry skin during pregnancy and following with a rich, toxin-free moisturizer. The Spoiled Mama’s best-selling belly butter and pregnancy stretch mark oil are both formulated with natural skin soothers and nourishing oils like sea buckthorn, jojoba, tamanu to relieve and protect. Gentle enough for daily use, these powerhouses pump your bump with essential goodness, while guarding it against stretch marks.

We know it’s tempting, but keep those claws away from your itchy belly and body! As the skin stretches to accommodate your baby, excessive scratching can damage your delicate pregnancy skin and make it more prone to stretch marks. However, like morning sickness products or finding relief for pregnancy swollen feet, there are surprisingly easy and effective ways to find relief for your itchy belly during pregnancy. To avoid further dryness, keep showers short and bathe in lukewarm or cool water (protip: it’s better for your hair, too!). Skip on products that use strong, irritating detergents.
