Itchy stretch marks

I'm 35 weeks with DC2 and my old stretch marks are getting really itchy. I'm not worried about OC because it's literally just where the stretch marks are - mainly on the underside of my bump. I can feel the skin there is really tight. I'm worried I'll break the skin by scratching absent mindedly!

Can anybody suggest anything to put on there to relieve the itching? I'm sure that the heat and sweatiness doesn't help. I'm already wearing light clothing though. I keep rubbing in body butter but it doesn't really seem to help.

Ive had this and find using moisturiser, bio oil or a body lotion everyday helps.

The itchyness is usually down to your skin stretching so keeping your skin soft helps it stretch with out the itch.
