Itchy skin - 18 weeks pregnant - need help?

Can any one advise on a good mouisture or lotion. I am drinking plenty water, but would have suffered from dry senitive skin before I got pregnant. I have tried a few different mouistures, but the itch is driving me mad, ?

Congratulations! I've just had my baby so know how you feel. I found cool showers helped the most, especially with Dove almond oil shower gel. Rubbing in olive oil whilst you're skin is still wet really helps too. just towel off as usual. Good luck.
Reply:Is it your belly or everywhere? My belly itched like crazy when I was pg. Everyone said it was cause my skin was stretching to accomodate the baby. I used lotion on my belly everyday to help. Did you try Shea lotion? Also, try to stay away from hard/scratchy materials.
Reply:I had exactly the same problem. it drove me mad. Might sound silly but calamine lotion really helped me.
