  I had that with DS. It was terrible! I never had any luck with cocoa butter. Could it be the lotion that's making you itch more?

  I used the same lotion all through my pregnancy with DS and this pregnancy and the itch hasn't started until recently so I don't think it is the lotion.

  I'm so sorry. I would just lay on my couch with a fan blowing on my bare belly. Also, any brand of body butter helped me. The thicker, the better. Hope it stops!!

  I had the itch for just a couple of random weeks in the middle of my pregnancy. Nothing seemed to help either. Hopefully it won't last long or you find something that works, there's nothing like that itch!

  I'm sorry mama. I know it sucks (and ditto on the extreme swelling - yikes). It actually doesn't even feel like I'm scratching it when I do. Kind of like scratching your foot after it has fallen asleep, you know? Hot water while in the shower is the best suggestion I have. It will be over soon!

  Try Vanicream. It's what docs recommend for mild eczema and you should be able to find it OTC at Walgreen's or CVS.

  I used Pal.mers Cocoa Oil a few times a day.  When the itching got really bad, I used Gold Bond lotion (actually it was a generic version of Gold Bond).  It helped a little, although there was nothing I found that worked long term.  And the more I scratched, the more it itched.

  Oh ugh.  I remember those days.  I lubed up my stomach with Mama Bee by Burts Bees.  I got it at Target.  It helped a little bit.
