Guess it's just your skin stretching and stretch marks forming. When I turned 36 weeks my skin was itchy and sure enough there were stretch marks coming out of no where! And I have been using coco butter through out my pregnancy, but nothing prevents them. Do not scratch! It'll just make it worse. I was told don't scratch so just try to find some relief when you feel you have too!

I've been having this same problem for two weeks. Mine are where my stretch marks are, I scratched mine and developed PUPPP, basically a rash.. Anyways the only thing that helped me was this lotion called "gold bond" I got it from Wal-mart  its a green bottle with a red pump, it cools your skin.. I also found that putting a cold wet cloth on it helped me.
