My legs and tummy are so itchy its driving me mad :(

Could it just be your skin stretching? A good moisturiser should help that but be careful if you get itchy hands and/or feet as it can be a sign of OC, I had blood tests and lots of lotions and potions for horrendous itcing in 2nd tri but it was an allergy which just disappeared eventually rather than OC thankfully. Drove me round the bend with scratching, and sleep deprivaton so know how you feel :hug:
 
get it checked out asap, its prob nothing but my middy always says if i have any sort of itching to contact themm straight away :hug:
 
Use oil in the bath - that way you will get every bit of you moisturised. Or get Oh to give you a nice massage to get you properly moisturised.
 
Honey, you need to get checked babe.
My sister at 7 months developed a rash that drove her mad. It could be one of 2 things, PUPP which is a commen pregnancy rash which you can be given cream for but it will just vanish once baby is born or Cholestasis which again is a rash that inch's terrible but is caused by your liver functions producing too much ??? (cant remember what they called it) but it again happens in late pregnancy and can harm both of you. I dont want to panic you but you DO need to get checked. My sister had the PUPP form but the lady in hospital day care next to her had the bad form and she was induced within an hour (her levels after a blood test were sky high though so dont panic to much). So best get checked!
 
can't say anything else but echo what the girls have said. Get them to test your LFT'S and ALT's.

as for relief from the itching, aquasis cream, a cold flannel (keep it in the fridge!), camolie lotion, i was given piriton but thats cause i had OC. if its skin stretching i doubt it would help.


Has it got better? have you mentioned it to anyone yet?
 
i found talc really helped me when i was itching, E45 made it worse :(
 
hey i had that i ad it that bad i had to go to the skin specialist because i was itchyin that much my legs and arms were bleedin but it was nothin to worrie about it was just a pregnancy syndrome thing but ive got sum cream now thats got rid of it !! xx
