Stretching skin pain

This is my first question I've posted....is anyone else experiencing a burning/tearing pain on their belly skin? I'm currently 35 weeks and this is my second baby. I didn't get any stretch marks with my first and still don't see any visible marks now, but all I can imagine is that this is the feeling of my skin stretching. It started recently and is in just one spot where baby always pushes out. But it hurts so bad and all the cocoa butter in the world doesn't relieve the sensation at all. It only goes away if I lay down, so as long as I'm up and moving its this constant tearing skin pain. Anyone else have this and find luck with some relief?

    Zero stretch marks, but yes! ! One spot, on my right side where I swear there's a foot, or a knee, or something pointy and pushy!! Had it for a couple weeks now (35+3 now).

    I have all the stretch marks and the same pain. I also have sciatica and sometimes the pain is similar, but not as intense. Maybe the baby is pushing on some nerve endings?

    I finally found the stretch mark in the spot where baby's butt always pushes out....it's white so I can barely see it, but it's validation now for me that the pain in that spot has been real!

    I just started with this pain in the last week or so. I got a bazillion stretch marks with my first, 12 years ago. None with my second, 6 years ago and currently have no new ones this go round. But I constantly have the feeling that LO is pushing so hard that my skin will tear! One week and counting, and I'm hoping I don't get anymore battle scars being that this is officially the LAST baby! I have found no relief. No cream/lotion/oil in the world will stop it. I just try to rub when it itches, instead of scratch. Laying down on my back seems to help, but the weight from him prevents me from doing that very much. It's too uncomfortable. I'm just hoping the next 7 days flies by.
