Hello all mothers to be,
I have exactly 30 more days to go but for past few days I been having really bad itchy skin on my lower back and arms.

i had really itchy skin and my sister in law suggested olive oil, i dont like using creams and meds as i have very sensitive skin, so i tried the olive oil small drops and rubbing it in. Few minutes later no itch! helped so much. i have been using it after every shower and it also helps with the stretch marks. hope this helps!

I had a rash called puppp with my first pregnancy. It was miserable. Hopefully yours is just dry skin and some special lotion will work, but mention puppp to your ob if it's really bad

I can't believe this is the first post I saw right now because I opened this ap wondering if anyone is itching their skin off like me!

A lotion called CeraVe has helped me with the dry skin I've been having (you can get it most places, but it's cheapest at walmart), but you should mention it to your OB because in some cases itchy skin can be a sign of an issue.
