Itching

[bunnymom1980]

For the past few days I've had the most terrible itchy hands. It's driving me nuts!!! No matter how much I scratch them it doesn't relieve the itch!!

I'm seeing my midwife on Wednesday, but in the meantime can I take Piriton?

I'm all itchy under my boobs as my skins starting to stretch I think, I find Bio Oil helps soothe it, I don't know much about itchy hands, found this though;

I would maybe ask your MW about the Piriton, if it's pregnancy related, the itchyness, it might not be something she'd recommend you use? I do hope it eases for you, being itchy is no fun

I have taken Piriton a couple of times recently as i get Hayfever really bad! I asked Pharmacist and they said it was ok to take them when pregnant, only thing ive noticed is they make me more drowsy than they used to so a couple of hours after taking them a nap maybe in order. x

Would dunking your hands in ice water be soothing maybe?
