Stretch marks

I'm not sure if it's just down to the hot weather but my thighs are absolutely riddled with stretch marks this time. They are incredibly itchy and have come up like a bobbly rash at first. I'm currently 38+1 with my second, I gave birth at 37 weeks last time.

I've struggled to find stuff to wear to avoid rubbing etc and I keep applying Vaseline. I'm not really bothered about what it's going to look like in the long run any ideas of what else I can try?

I've got that on my bump. Later in pregnancy it's safe to use portion which will stop the rashes from itching. And she said calamine lotion is great x

I used baby oil in the shower which was quite soothing.

Thinking out loud, I wonder if aftersun lotion would help the itching? If you have a bottle lying about with the hot weather!

I think it's bothering me more so because it's my inner thighs and it's suppose to be warm again next week, I've only got a handful of clothes for hot day so I'm hoping dd makes an appearance and I can hide inside in my pjs 😂.

The baby oil idea sounds good I'll give that a go.
