I was supper itchy with all 3 of my babies.  An old wise tail says, if your belly is itchy while pregnant you will have a hairy baby. The mire it itches the more hary the baby will be.

Like I said an old wise tail. Though I sure did have hairy babies.  Lol

Get some vitamin e capsules and poke a couple open and mix with your cocoa butter. It's too hard to apply by itself. It will give you that extra moisturizing effect. I use this combination during my whole pregnancy.
