Painful skin and stretch marks
In the past week I’ve developed some stretch marks and the skin on my upper tummy feels like it’s burning when I cough or move in certain ways . I’ve tried some stretch mark oil. Does anyone have any tips? Conscious of this hurting during labour and causing me extra discomfort.

I have this I’m so sore !
If oil isn’t helping try using a thicker moisturiser. I keep one in the fridge so it’s cold for when I’m itchy. A cool, damp flannel also helps and is something you could throw in your labour bag but I’m sure you won’t notice that once things get started.
That sort of thing won't even be a consideration when you're in labour so I wouldn't worry about that at all.
