Itching like mad * updated seen midwife*

[Tillytots]

OMG I have developed the worst craziest itching my hand is nearly at the point of bleeding and its on my arms too. It wasnt bothering me until tonight and now Im scratching and wriggling in my chair! I havent changed my washing powder or anything so I dont really know what it could be I looked at the OC sticky and it sounds a bit like me I'll leave it until tommorrow and if Im still Mrs Scratchy then Il give the midwife a bell.

hope it's not that good luck if you see midwife tomorrow

That doesnt sound to good

Its not a heat rash or something i would keep an eye on it.

 

[moomoo192]

hope its not that.

good luck with the midwife if you have to go but hopefully it'll be gone.

I used to get where my feet and legs used to itch like mad ad sometimes my palms, especially if i'd been carring bags, try running them under cold water, it should help ease the itching or try calomine lotion.

Even if you do feel ok tomorrow hun, I would still give her a ring, just so she is aware. She might be able to explain causes of itching in pregnancy, or indeed want to see you.
Since I have become pregnant if I feel at all worried about something I will ring for advice, even if it turns out (which it normally does) to be nothing to be concerned about.

Keep us updated

Yea I hope its not too...

Its just all up my arms, hands but not the palms and now my sides and bum cheeks hence me wriggling in my chair. Il try the cold water on my hands but Im not sticking my bum under the cold tap

I only saw the midwife today! I was fine earlier but now its like Ive got fleas

 

[kazlin]

I agree with moomoo about running your hands under cold water. You know that old trick in the summer where you run your wrists under the cold tap...it cools you down? Maybe try that. Try not to scratch either (easier said than done) as this can sometimes make you itch more.

I had itchy hands at end of tri 2 and really dry itchy skin on arms, have u tried some moisturiser? Something really unfragranced like some E45? I would def give you MW a call tomorrow though if it is really bad still as it's better to get these things checked

OC is worse at night what i've heard so could ease of during the day, better to see your midwife just in case x

 

[Natural mamma]

That does NOT sound good Tilly

Definitely get yourself checked out asap. Oh and put some clothes on love, we don't want to see you in all your glory

 

[Bloom]

Give the midwife a call just to be sure

 

[muppetmummy]

You've got me itching now! Definately call the midwife to be safe

 

[Tillytots]

Well I called the midwife and had to go in this morning and had my blood taken. Should get the results in 2 days. Im think Im getting over my needle phoba now too
