That was me
Mine itched so much, it felt like there were bees buzzing under the skin. I couldn't sleep, it was horrible. I had been using a cream designed (apparently) for stretch marks, but it wasn't doing anything. I got vitamin E cream, slathered it on THICK several times daily, and the itching went away very quickly. Even though I felt like something was going on inside, under the skin, it turned out the itch I felt was actually just from the stretch marks (I went from a 32A before pregnancy to a 36-38C).
