Pregnant skin is so dry- what shower/ bathing products could you reccommend?

I'm 14 weeks with dc2 and my skin has gone dry and itchy again. I don't have a chance to slather on moisturiser and wait for it to sink in whilst chasing Ds/ going to work in the morning.
With Ds I used a aloe Vera shower oil from body shop which was fab- super moisturising and non greasy. But they've stopped doing it :(

What can you suggest?

I have a small budget - more boots than department store prices
I also think I'm slightly allergic/ sensitive to SLS.

I would recommend seeing your GP. I have the same problem and have been given a prescription for Aveeno Moisturising cream and also for Oilatum Emollient to use as a cleanser in the shower. Dermol is another Emollient cleanser. They cost a fortune over the counter though so I'd very much recommend getting them on prescription.

need to get my free prescription form signed by mw now.

maybe i'll try ds stuff as i tend to buy him eczema friendly stuff (he's a bit sensitive too!) :)
