Bellyaching

Well here it is the middle of the night and again I find myself unable to sleep. Pretty normal these days. Most nights I tough it out in bed but tonight I was driven out by the endless itching of my HUGE belly. As my neighbor Janel so wonderfully put it, my belly now has a "treasure map" of stretch marks. There are so many despite my lathering several different things on every night of this pregnancy. And now that are itching like mad. I have tried so many different things to stop the relentless itch but nothing has worked, so I was driven to the Internet in hopes of finding a cure. Well, without ordering anything that would take a week to get here, I am out of luck. And seeing as how I am having this baby next week I don't really want to do that.
I am starting to get bumps in my stretch marks which I read can be PUPPS(a weird rash thingy) so I am hoping if I call my doctor tomorrow I'll be able to get some cream or something from him. Who knows. If anyone knows of anything to relieve the stretch mark itching please share!! I am desperate!!!

I don't know as much, just what I hear from other gals in the ward, but have you tried pure vitamin E? The liquid kind? I've heard it will help with stretch marks. But I'll ask around.
