Make it Stop!
Itchy! There is nothing I dislike more than itchy skin. It irritates me to the point of tears, especially when pregnant! Any itch relief creams used on the expanding belly need to be applied frequently in order to make a difference. I'm using Burt's Bees & Pacquin. Any other's work for you, Ladies? Please do share.

My area of expertise! :-) If you want something cooling but not necessarily moisturizing, try Sarna anti-itch lotion or plain aloe vera gel. You could put that on first and then use your heavy moisturizer. My dermatologist also said that a little topical hydrocortisone isn't going to transfer much to the baby(ies), so if you are desperate (which I often am) a little of that can provide longer-lasting relief. Hope you find something that works!! Not too much longer!
