i have been adding aloe vera baby oil to my bath, not only does it smell and feel heavenly, but i haven't had any problems since doing so

Oh my, I am itching like CRAZY! It just started to get ridiculous the night before last...normal itchy belly is something I can handle, but this is too much! For me, it's my entire body...my feet itch, my legs itch, my back and chest feel like they have hives, and my belly is kinda' rashy, too...lotion won't help, either! I did find that benedryl helped me last night to sleep, but I did still wake up as scheduled to pee, lol, and had to settle the itching down each time before I could go back to sleep. If you come up with a good way of getting rid of the itching, please let me know! I've been told that oatmeal baths or tea tree oil in the tub could help, but haven't gotten either of those to try yet. Good luck- I hope you're not too miserable!

My understanding is that the skin is stretching, causing the itching. When I don't use something like cocoa butter or an A/D ointment mine itches like crazy (use something heavier than normal lotion). So, I'm guessing moisture will help you too!
Give it a try. :)

cocoa butter!!! if i feel itchy i just rub cocoa butter on, because if you itch too much you can cause stretch marks to develop or get worse!! so stop itching and just grab lotion!!! :) Good luck!!!

Every time you shower use Curel or Eucerin lotion all over your body. I have from the beginning and haven't had any problems. I'm 35 weeks pregnant, goodluck!
