gRRR- Having a whinge...

[Steelgoddess]

My skin is really doing my head in today i cant win! If i itch it it makes it sore and bobbly, if i don't it makes me moody been having to shower/bath twice a day for a bit of relief.

And the only thig which gets rid of it completly is a topical steroid cream which I cant use because of the baby. And to top it off i stopped and thought what if baby Hay has it too? Would it be my fault???

Rule 1 never mess with a pregnant woman who has flared up ecema!!!

On the same note has anyone else noticed an ailment that has gotten worse during preggytime?

Thanks for letting me vent hopefully i can get on with my day and be grateful for the good in life...

Must be horribly frustrating for you hun. My cousin had terrible eczema when she was growing up, and her mum used to swear by filling a sock/foot of a pair of tights with porridge oats and leaving it so soak in her bathwater. Just an idea for you - make sure it's not a holey sock or you'll end up with a lumpy bath

And i dont have eczema so i dont know how you feel- can you use some aqueus cream with no steroids?

Thanks girlies...

Claire- that made me laugh i wonder what it would feel like to sit in a bath of porridge that might quite fun lol!

fran - Thanks hon, yeah i use all the creams under the sun, i normall deal with it quite well but when its sore and itchy its just irritating cause it feels like nothing relieves it...

Also it musdt feel weird using Hayden for someone else, when I hear tyou talk about your little one I always think, yeah cool name that Tehe!!

I've found a cure for the itching!!! Seriously, it works!! My daily routine (for the past week or so) has been;

1) Have a bath in the morning and use an exfoliating glove and have a good old scrub...

2) While I'm still wet (not dried off completely), use a moisturiser - it helps lock in the moisture...

3) Once I'm all dry a few hours later I put cold yoghurt (yep, the yoghurt that you eat!!) on my arms and legs to relieve the itching. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and wipe off with a baby wipe...

4) Put another lot of moisturiser on!

It really has helped with the itching. Oh and keeping your arms bare is really good to let the skin breathe. xx

It reminds me of a horrible joke my dad told me...
