hi cheshire
I had an outbreak of rashes all over my body (doc said allergy). After things died down after a week, I suddenly had rashes on my tummy (and my belly button was extremely itchy) and rashes all over my chest! Maybe TMI but my nipples were cracked and itchy too.
I started moisturizing much more - applied Mum To Be Organic Oil, followed by Palmer's Organic Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion for stretch marks.
After two days, the rash and itch went away. And my nipples are now no longer cracked.
So... i think the itch and rash were brought on by dryness and my skin stretching (tummy and breasts expanding quickly).
Moisturize a lot, mummies! Important!
It's true that stretch marks are hereditary and no amount of moisturizer or oils we apply can prevent stretchmarks (can only apply stuff to make the marks look faint). But still we need to moisturize cos our skin is dry and stretched to the max! Otherwise will end up with itchy rashes like me...

I apply the oil to my tummy, butt and breast, but only tummy got rashes. I'll just stop applying anything first. Pray that would have no stretch marks. looks like no one else has this problem. lucky mummies!
