37 weeks pregnant, and i'm experiencing terrible burning skin sensations on the upper part of my belly, just below my breast. what could be the cause and how can i treat it.

Unfortunately,Normal: During the later part of your pregnancy, the rapidly enlarging uterus can cause significant stretching of your abdominal skin. This is felt as a burning or searing sensation. Unfortunately this is normal. Try a topical vitamin E application and rub the area gently to relieve the pain. You can also take Acetaminophen for pain relief. (not Ibuprofen) Tell your Dr if you experience any cramping.
