Yeah, I have had that problem for almost my whole pregnancy, and I am 8 months. Your boobs are growing and you are probably noticing it more this second time. They said you can even feel the baby sooner sometimes because you are more in tune with your body. Some kind of lotion may help. I know I just run to the bathroom and itch away. lol Good luck.

Oh goodness, YES! I am moisturizing like crazy so I don't think it's dryness that's the problem; my skin doesn't feel dry at all. I always moisturize right after I shower. I don't even dry off just so my lotion will absorb better. I usually moisturize in the morning and right before I go to sleep.
Good luck!

Yes I did. Try a lotion the contains oatmeal in it this should help. Tty avoiding using a lot of soap on your breasts as this could make it worse.As long as you are not experiencing heat comming from them as well you should be fine. But definitly try the oatmeal lotions. Good luck

yes, just the skin stretching because the breasts aregetting larger...put lotion on them everytime they itch...don't scratch them, you'll get stretch marks

i have heard about this happening to people plus i myself had it a little... and it only happens when you are having a boy..(and yes im having a boy) that is what i heard..there is nothing wrong with it but if its something thats to much for you to deal with tell your doc and he will give you medication to stop the itching...good luck

I didn't, but one of my neighbors had this problem. It was so intense that she ended up using medication prescribed by her doctor.

I am not PG and have that problem. Its the dry skin and the weather. I always put vasline on them to help keep the skin moist.

your skin is probably dried out. try putting on lotion everytime you get out of the shower. it will help to keep your skin moisturized.
