About 1 percent of women develop itchy, red bumps and larger patches of a hive-like rash on their bellies in the second half of pregnancy, usually in the last month or two. These irritations are called pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP for short) or polymorphic eruption of pregnancy. They usually show up first on the abdomen around or in stretch marks (if you have any) and then spread to the thighs, the buttocks, and sometimes the arms. They're harmless for you and your baby, but they can itch like crazy!

i ever read that any kind of too stretch skin / fold skin will create itchy since at that place develop a lot of bacteries.
i also ever use a medicine which read it can get rid of itchy.
but i dont know whether the medicine is not good/im just not suit with it,it doesnt work.
but maybe if i buy other brand /maybe if ur the one that use it,is will work just fine.
i m not remember the name.but at least u know now that that medicine for that kind of medication is exist.
what im sure which medicine will cure itchiness is alcohol.
dont use too much coz it will make your skin dry.
but if use just enough,it will cure your problem.
im sure about it.

1% Cortosone cream. Or if it is something more serious, goto your dermatologist and ask for Triamcinolone.
Oh wait... I just read the rest (noticed pregnant at the last minute)
Don't use anything other than natural.... Oatmeal is a great anti itch remedy.
Ask your OBGYN what is safe for the baby!
