Either extra virgin olive oil, bio oil or palmers cocoa butter oil specially for itchy skin.
I use these oils (particularly olive oil) on my nipples which itch me like crazy at the moment.
Hope this helps!

Hi Cat. Is your itch unbearable? do you feel unwell at all?
Just because a friend of mine said she was so itchy towards the end of her pregnancy that the midwife checked her for cholestasis which was something to do with her liver and she had to be induced. this info might help:
What helps: For itchy hands, feet, and belly, the best thing you can do is moisturize often. Any good lotion will do, though some women swear by the special ones formulated for use during pregnancy. PUPP and cholestasis can be treated by prescription medications given under a doctor's care, and, happily, all of these symptoms tend to diminish or disappear after the baby is born.
cholestasis of pregnancy:
a severe itchiness accompanied by nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, and possibly jaundice (yellowing of the skin). Cholestasis could indicate a liver problem -- if you have severe itching in the third trimester, report it to your doctor immediately.

hi, Cat sorry you itching so much, i have cholestasis, but i only itched a bit on my arms and belly, wasnt vomiting or feeling nauseous or anything like that, its probably just cos your skin has stretched so much, i found a water mist helps with mine and docs gave me aquaeous cream.
Mention it to your Midwife next time you see her cos they can rule out O.C with just a blood test.
Good luck hun am sending you anti_itching vibes
