I am in my second trimester and I keep scratching my body all day. What's happening? Is this normal?

The skin around your belly is stretching to enlarge the tummy growth. Skin can be dry and uncomfortable. Apply belly oil or creams to moisturise the skin to reduce any discomfort. Don't scratch, the skin may be further irritated and damaged.

You can easily get those over the counter stretch mark cream/ lotion/ oil. Some common brands will be Palmer's, Bio-oil. I've used brands like Mustela, Gaia, Weleda, Clarins. I apply lotion in the day time, and oil at night time. Do it after shower, when your skin is still moisture for easier absorption by gently massaging it.
