The itchiness won't stop! I borrowed some lotion from my mom last week, and it was the most effective thing I've found at keeping the itch away. Seriously amazing! She bought it at Sams, but I haven't found it anywhere in my area. You can get it from Amazon, though.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Genes-Vitamin-Collagen-Moisturizing-Sensitive/dp/B0013QOIGC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1331587242&#038;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Genes-Vitamin-Collagen-Moisturizing-Sensitive/dp/B0013QOIGC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1331587242&#038;sr=8-1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-bellies#post-91918 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 09:45:37 +0000 lavender 91918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am constantly itching around my belly button, and it usually wakes me up in the middle of the night and then I need to get up and pee!

When it's really bad, the paneled maternity pants make me crazy, I have to wear a tank under the panel. But my belly got way harier too, still blondish though, thank goodness.

I also have itchy nipples. It especially happens after being in the shower and I've been scratching my belly under the warm water. After I slather myself in a two pound layer of lotion (I exaggerate but a LOT of lotion to get some relief)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-bellies#post-91228 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 11:37:56 +0000 chopsuey 91228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got an itchy belly POST labor.
