Itchiness happens when your skin is stretching. Get a good cream or oil (i have friends who swear by bio-oil) and make sure you drink enough water

It's because your skin in stretching. My breasts and nipples were super itchy the first pregnancy and then my belly got super itchy too and I started getting stretch marks.

I was up all night last night with the itchy boobs. I tried all different lotions and they weren't working. Finally I got an ice pack and that seemed to do the trick. Hopefully it helps you.

Oh I meant to say same place my breast my right one was worse. And soon after I started leaking colostrum stuff so I think maybe it has something to do with growing breast and them getting ready for baby
