stretch marks...

Ok, I'm almost 33 weeks now. I just started to get real stretch marks, more than just a few here and there. I've been putting lotion on at least twice a day (Palmers for stretch marks). My skin is itchy and burns... ugh. I feel like my skin is about to explode open... and I still have 7 weeks to go! Anyone else? Anyone have any good products they would recommend?

I'll try the Burts bees stuff first then maybe the bio oil. At this point I don't care about how it looks as much as how it feels. It's so uncomfortable and I'm loosing sensation in the skin on my belly. It's a weird combination of itchy burns and lack of feeling... hard to . describe!

I'm 33 weeks and I gave up n excelted the fact that there going to happen n get worse.... mine are so big and deep that there craters. Where my belly button once was is ripping open and from my pubic bone to above my belly button is stretch marks that are 4 fingers wid e and there dark red and enflammed. They burn and itch. U can feel them stick out if u rub your fingera across my belly. I used coco butter for months and still have crater marks. Like I said I'm 33 weeks and still need to grow. Theyll eventually fade.

I have tried many different  oils the best is mamma bee by Burts and bees the smell is much more pleasant than Palmers and it helps so much with the itchines  and prevention of stretch marks.
