Is it normal for pregnant women's breasts to itch? I'm at a concert and I feel weird because my breasts itch bad? I know that sounds funny but it's true

My boobs have been on and off itch too!!! And of course, depending on where they itch, it hurts to scratch.

Totally normal! They usually itch when they are growing and the skin is stretching. I found it the worst in the first trimester.

I agree completely with Lauren! The growing makes them super-itchy~

I remember that happening. I used some lotion with vit E and cocoa butter and it helped soothe the itch!

Yep. Mine itched (my belly, too) in the late first and early second trimeter. Lotion helped some, but mostly I just had to wait it out. Once they stopped growing so rapidly it got better.

My boobs drove me crazy while I was pregnant! In the third trimester I was sure I wanted to rip them off! I actually ended up using Lansolin (sp?) creme on them. It was for breastfeeding Moms but it was the only thing that soothed them!
