Itchy in the summer

Has anyone found that their bump and boobs are more itchy when the weather turns hot? I don't think I have stopped plastering my body with emollient cream. Any other suggests to deal with this irritation?

Has anyone noticed their bump and boobs become more itchy as the weather turns hot? I don't think I have stopped plastering my body with emollient cream all day and all night recently. Any other suggestions to treat this irritation?

I have found anything 'over bump' I am 37 + 3 has made me really itchy so now I avoid anything tight over it. I'm on maternity leave now so my bump is out and airing most of the time and this has maade the world of difference- however I can understand you not wanting to bear all in public
Also put your cream in the fridge before you apply.
If you're getting a rash or reaction then I'd aviod excema cream as it really increases stretch marks I think I've read somewhere but try running your bath water through porridge oats it really helps to soothe irritated skin.

good luck
