itchy skin

So i am 25 weeks with my third baby. I am extremely itchy. Seems like when i lay down the most. I am so over being pregnant. This little one has me miserable. Also my pelvic bones are killing me. The doctor said could just be where it separates. Hurts to walk on busy days hurts to lay down and more. And one else with any of these issues if so what do you do to help

I have to try the oatmeal bath. But with my other two kids i dont have much time for a bath. I get 5 min showers lol. I have tried lotations i even take benadryl at night time to help. The pelvic pain with this pregnancy startes way sooner then with my last one. By the time my son was born i felt like my pelvic bone had broken. It even hurts when the doctor pushes to check my measurements. 14 weeks left and this little girl will be my last lol

The oatmeal bath really does work, its miraculous. I was scratching my skin into the blood til I started taking those a couple times a week. Also switched to shower soap with oatmeal in it.

I'm going on 24 weeks with twins. I have horrible pelvic bone pain. Its hard to walk, sit and lie down. It keeps me up at night because it hurts to stay in one position for longer than an hour. I even sleep with a pillow between my knees and feet-doesn't help much. I have started swimming for exercise and it does help, although I'm not sure what about it helps. And it only provides temporary relief. I don't think there's much we can really do since its just our bodies getting ready to move a baby through the birth canal. I've heard belly bands can help, they are like a girdle that wraps around your upper hip area...I have used one, but feel like it's too constricting since I've got two babies growing. Good luck! We're almost done, we've just gotta  hang in there!
