How to Get Rid of That Pesky Pregnancy Itch Safely and Effectively

When I was pregnant with my first child, my stretch marks developed into PUPPPs (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy), which is an incredibly itchy rash ALL over my belly that I have scratched so much as to now have open sores. It was supposed to go away after I gave birth, and it did for the most part, but it does still itch some. But I've found something that really, truly works to alleviate that itch for a while.


Before I stumbled upon this neat trick, I tried so many things like:

• Lotion
• Anti-Itch Cream (designed for pregnancy)
• Plain Vitamin E Oil
• Rubbing a baby wipe on the area
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Coconut Oil
• Lemon Essential Oil
• Lavender Essential Oil

I had to be careful with the things that I tried because I was pregnant and there are so many things you have to watch out for. However, after doing some research online, I decided to try some of my
Essential Oils to see if they would work.

At first I tried Lemon oil. That didn't work, so I tried Lavender. That didn't work either. I was beginning to feel a little hopeless until I went to my doctor one day. She asked me what I had tried for it and suggested I try Vitamin E Oil (this before I had tried it). I took her advice and stopped by the store on my way home.

I first tried rubbing Vitamin E oil by itself on the area, but that wasn't effective, so I added some Olive Oil to see if that would do the trick.

Of course not.

Finally, I added 4 drops of Lavender Essential oil to about a teaspoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil mixed with a couple of teaspoons of Vitamin E Oil. SUCCESS!! At last, I had a remedy that was both safe and effective for dealing with that itch.
