How many of you faced severe itching during the first trimester of your pregnancy?

I assume that the itching is around your tummy area? Because during my 1st pregnancy, my stomach was so itchy, it was almost difficult to fall asleep! This is because your skin is tight and because of your growing baby inside you, your skin is stretching beyond it's limit thus making you itch. I find that it helps that I take a warm shower before apply stretchcream or lotion on me before sleeping. It helps moisturize the area so the itchiness eases a lot more.
