very itchy belly

Im 38w2d along and over the past week my stretch marks have gone crazy all around my belly button, theyre horribly itchy and feel like my skin is ripping. Theyre all bumpy too. Ive tried all different kinds of creams and lotions -cocoa butter (3 different kinds) jergens, bath and body works, coconut oil, even got into the babys lotions and baby oil. Nothing seems to help, anyone have any recommendations?

You could have PUPS as well. My friend got it her last month or so, and it was like her stretch marks were raised and she itched horribly. Her doctor prescribed her some special lotion only one pharmacy around here made.

It goes away once you deliver
