    Yes.. and itchy boobs! It's been below freezing here, so that may have a lot to do with it too!

    Yes I've been getting it quite a bit recently. I keep moisturising to relieve it and that seems to work :)

    yesssss it is the worst. I'm using cocoa butter, seems to keep me moisturized.

    My boobs have been itchy! I do remember my belly itching a lot during the first pregnancy but I haven't felt it yet. I agree with others - lotion with cocoa butter. It supposedly helps prevent stretch marks too, though I still got some and I think a lot of that is determined by genetics.

    Yeah, stretch marks are mostly genetics, but keeping your skin moisturized will help.

    I try to rub both my belly and boobs and they feel good just under water when I shower

    Not yet, but it was last time.  I should probably start rubbing something on my belly soon tho.

    Yes, especially after showering. But lotion definitely helps.

    No belly itching here but my legs are soooo itchy!! I think it's just dry skin though, lol.

    Ohhh yes! I've found that cocoa butter helps TONS with the itching (stretch mark prevention is always good too!)

    Itchy boobs here! Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter is soooo nice. When I was pregnant with DS, my midwife recommended Alba Very Emollient products, and they were a lifesaver. Coconut oil and olive oil also helped (olive oil during the first days of nursing as an alternative to lanolin...hospital recommendation).

    @skelly70 I've been using Alba Very Emollient coconut rescue all over my body every day to combat already dry winter skin made worse by pregnancy. It takes a while to rub in, but it's done amazing things for my skin. Highly recommend.

    A little but I use mama bee's oil and belly cream which help a lot! Nowadays, my boobs itch so much so that I wake up at night and wish I can dip into a pool of ice for relief.
