I am 28 weeks pregnant and since last 2 weeks, the skin on my tummy around 2 inches below my right breast hurts like hell.. it feels like its burning. There is no redness and no rash.. on the surface it looks normal and yet it hurts a lot. I am unable to wear a bra sometimes.
What can it be? I have tried baby cornstarch powder and moisturiser, both and something has helped the hurt reduce just a little bit but its not alrite and its been over 2 weeks now...
Anybody else has had the same problem?

YES!!! i feel your pain. Hormones are probably the culpret. The only reliefe is a perscription cream. It will be the first great night sleep in a while im sure. Good luck, and also a loofa in the shower may help with the actual skin itchiness from stretching in a few more weeks.... just use it all over your belly and side in the shower, followed by a mild lotion, johnsons baby lotion was what i used. Good luck, and congrats.

I am right behind you (26 weeks) and my belly itches like there is no tomorrow. I don't even wear a bra anymore (the only good thing about bed rest). I use cocoa butter and cortizone cream and it seems to be working.

I bet that is your skin stretching. Apply lotion about every hour if you can. (cocoa butter seems to work real well for this)
