Have you talked to your doctor? It sounds like cholestasis of pregnancy. He or she may want to check you out for that.

Try applying Shea butter and vitmain e oil on body everyday after shower and before bed. When your skin stretches it causes itching. Hope it helps!

Is the itching everywhere?? I know my stomach itches sometimes and it's because of the clothes rubbing on it or my pants may be digging into my belly making it itch. Might be the stretching of the skin that's causing you to itch.
