Itching?!.

[helly_herbivore]

I'm 13+2, and my boobs and sides of my belly are sooo itchy!. It's driving me crazy. I'm not showing or anything yet, but is this normal?. Is my baby ok?.
Could it be the Cocoa butter I rub on my belly and boobs?. I also rub it on my hands and arms, but they're not itchy?. Please help.

If you're not showing yet I doubt it's your skin stretching... Maybe your cocoa butter lotion has something in it you're allergic to or it could be that you're just dry, pregnancy hormones are crazy I'm 8 months and have never been this dry in my life I can go about 3 days without my hair getting oily pre-pregnancy I could only go one day and my skin especially on my legs is always itchy and dry my lips are always chapped my sister on the other hand became more oily  but it was actually what she needed because her hair was very dry pre-pregnancy. Everyone is differet it's probably just your body and the hormones adjusting. Try drinking more water and also try a different cocoa butter lotion.

My chest and stomach itched like crazy in the beggining too I think it was the Cocoa butter I was using but I use it now and don't have any problems maybe try to switch to a regular lotion like aveeno that's what I'm using and it really helps with relieving itching.

Yes, what @newmommy said. Scratching leads to stretch marks. Put some more lotion on it. When you're prego your skin gets really dry.

Don't scratch! The more you scratch,  the more stretch marks you get and the more deeper they are!

It probably just your skin starting to stretch try not to itch it onky make you want itch more
