I'm 23w3d and my belly started itching around 7 weeks. I just went with it till I couldn't take it anymore, and I turned to coco butter. It works wonders for me!

I use baby oil gel. It works wonders. The itchy-ness goes away and my belly looks really smooth.

It is just cuz your skin is dry and stretching.  Use lotion.
