Is anyone finding that being pregnant is making their upper body increadibly itchy?... I expect my stomach to be a little itchy because I am 20 weeks pregnant and my belly is streching. But my back is soooo itchy too and my boobs...which i would also expect if they were growing..lol...they're not growing. ↓

my husband wakes me up in the middle of the night because Im scratching myself all over in my sleep.Im starting to get sores.I put cream and calamine lotion but Im still itchy all over.Its driving me crazy.I was due yesterday so not long now and my belly will not be tight and stretched out anymore might relieve a bit of the itch there.I heard putting baby oil in the bath helps but I havnt tried it yet. ↑

My skin is getting dry and itchy too. I think it is becaue we have to have the heater on now. I use a lotion all over that has oatmeal extract, because the is a natural moisturizer, but still use coco butter on my tummy. I am not sure if it really prevents stretch marks, but here's to hoping! ↑
