I have a lot of itching too. I put on skin cream or oil immediately after i shower too, and that helps a lot. I love Krystell's idea for an oatmeal bath, i need to try that!

Aveeno products are the best, make sure to moisturize immediately after showering. For really bad itch nights soak in an aveeno oatmeal bath. Use free and clear detergent. Take it from a lifetime eczema sufferer.

I had the same problem… Itching so bad I couldn't sleep at night. I started using this palmer's itchy skin spray that i found at babies r' us which is really oily, but it has helped tremendously with the itching.

I guess I got lucky bc I had stretch marks before I got pregnant so I ain't got itchy skin.   Haha.

I had it early on. I was so itchy and jittery I couldn't sleep. I took benadryl and it helped some. Hope you find relief. It's definitely uncomfortable.
