I remember the itching b00bs and tummy....I used bath and body works Tummy Butter for Stretch Marks and thankfully no stretch marks...on my tummy and b00bs that is, but I got some unsightly buggers on my hips. ;-> Good luck, I hope it goes away soon.

I remember that..lol I don't really like coco butter's smell when I was pregnant, so I used body shop's vitamin E body butter... Vit E is what was recommended by my plastic surgeon friend... it works!! I got the itch at the b00bs too, for that I used E45 during my shower, the DH used that for his eczema.. No stretch marks on boths tummy n t*ts.. :D S

hey leshell - nope just severely on the breasts and a tiny bit on the tummy - but mainly the boobs!! Just constantly itchy and it's driving me crazy. Just rubbed some olive oil in, but not sure that's making much difference either. Am seeing my doc tomorrow for a check up so will see what she says. I know there are other serious conditions when your hands and feet itch, but for now it's pretty localised :)

I'm just a bit wary of the Bio Oil now....that's exactly what I was doing, putting more on each time I was itchy but it's just getting itchier and itchier and more red! And I didn't have this at all until I started using it... Anyway I hope it's not incoming stretch marks, so far I've been ok and am already quite big (I think LOL) - have been moisturising every day diligently since the first trimester (with the cocoa butter)! sorry to hear about your train tracks Plumie - ah well, battle scars huh!

Nope - not a reaction, but it's your skin stretching to prepare for your new body :D Try not to scratch, instead apply the Bio Oil every time you have the urge! Should'nt last long though, but be prepared for the appearance of stretch marks! My tummy itched for a bit, I moisturized as much as I could and not a single stretch mark! My b**bs itched as well, I moisturized and unfortunately I have stretch marks so bad they look like train tracks :\:

Hey ladies, I am 28 weeks and the past few days my breasts have been soooo itchy and slightly red looking, especially in between, and now it is moving to my tummy too. Is this normal and caused by stretching? I was using Palmers Cocoa Butter until about a week ago and then switched to Bio Oil as I'd run out and had Bio Oil on hand that my sister gave me to use....do you think it could be a reaction to the bio oil? Ahhhh sooooo itchy!! TIA!
