itchy belly
I am just about 13 weeks and my belly itches like crazy. I thought it was from what I was wearing (I wear ribbed tank tops to work to cover my unbuttoned pants  ) but someone said that it could be my belly stretching.
Just wondering if this happened to anyone else? And is there anything I can put on it to help ease the itching?
Thanks.

Re: itchy belly
very common and only going to get worse. I'm almost 30 weeks and have to keep my nails short or else I'm going to hurt myself. I find cocoa butter helps.

Re: itchy belly
My side itched yesterday and when i looked in the mirror...stretch marks!
I had just bought cocoa butter wich shea butter. (Palmer's) and probably should have used it sooner. I am 13 weeks as well.
ETA: I read that around this time, our waist is thickening.
