I don't know if it is pregnancy related or not but it is really getting me down! I am constantly itching all over my legs and I am scratching that much my whole legs are beginning to look like giant scabs. :oops: I have this problem all over my body but it is alot worse on my legs. My question is - does anyone know if this is pregnancy related? Also is it safe to apply some BENADRYL CREAM to them?
 
It could be PG related. There is a sticky thread titled 'obstetric cholestasis' to read, as you may have this. Make an appointment with your midwife or GP to be on the safe side :hug:
 
You're a bit early on for OC but get it checked out anyway to be on the safe side :)
 
Thanx guys! The earliest I can see my midwife is going to be around mid November. My GP surgery is useless. I think I will give them a call at the hospital if it gets too much for me. I don't know if it is worth mentioning but I am having alot of circulation probs at the moment as well. I find it hard to lay in because my legs feel like they are going to drop off if I do! Oh I sound like a right drama queen! Sorry!
 
You could always call NHS Direct on 0845 4647 :)
 
The charity Tommys have a helpline you can call to speak to a midwife

0870 777 30 60

I hope the itching stops soon! It must be driving you mad!
