Don’t think it’s a medical issue, but I have suuuuch itchy skin on the sides of my bump and the undersides of my now-huge boobs.

Any recommendations for creams?

Bio oil - it might be the skin is just dry and stretched. I used this and only got 1 stretch mark (baby was HUGE!)

Vitamin E oil. Oat bath soak and calamine lotion.

Of your in your 3rd trimester worth getting checked for ICP. I developed it at 37weeks and wasnt my hands and feet it was arms, chest and belly. I assumed stretching but was actually ICP

I’ve got some bio-oil, will try that tonight. I’ve started using a shower oil which also seems to help a bit. I’m like a dog, could scratch around all day… only 25 weeks and due to location of itching, don’t think it’s ICP but will keep an eye.
