I am really itchy and have scratched myself til im raw and bleeding on my arms and legs.
At first they thought I had OC but my bloods are borderline and not bad enough to the amount of itching. I have been to hospital every week for umpteen weeks and had to see skin specialists. I saw my consultant who basically translated for me as skin person was foreign and I couldnt understand her and I have puritic urticaria disorder, basically I am now having a allergic reaction to being pregnant!
I have been given all the treatment there is, steroids, steroid cream, aqeous and aqueous menthol cream and special bandages and nothing is working, they even tried me on tamazepam so I could try and sleep as cant due to scratching but even on lowest dose they are making me ill.
There is nothing else they can give me and it wont go til after baby has been born. They now want me to see a mental health person as they think im now suffering from pre natal depression and am at high risk from post natal depression and wont be able to bond with baby because of what she is putting me through as Im at my wits end and seriously cant cope anymore.
I started with this months ago and no one would listen to me, I have it from my wrists to my shoulders and from my ankles to my hips and will have scars from the scratching.
Tell your midwife and make sure they listen to you, I really hope you dont have what I do as its torture.
MW said it's just bloody hormone s
