itching
DH wants to kill me as I can't stop itching my legs when I get into bed. I have been moisturizing like crazy and use coconut oil on my belly as well as stretch mark cream. Both seem to help a lot.

Re: itching
It is probably completely normal - but if the itching becomes really severe...let your OB know. There is a condition that occurs in pregnancy, I think its called PUPPS and a symptom is severe itching. I don't know much about it - but it has something to do with your liver. Just do some research.
Like I said - probably completely normal, but just something to watch for.

Yes.....I made the mistake of mentioning my belly was itchy (I was looking for a good lotion rec!) to my OB and sent me to be tested for cholestasis.
I don't think you have that- it's usually itchy hands and feet but worth mentioning for sure.
