Well ladies I leaving this morning an going to my mom's house for Christmas.  I live in Prairieville Louisiana, close to Baton Rouge.  I'm going to be driving 5 1/2 hours by myself to Shreveport Louisiana.  My husband has to help his dad an uncle all this week an they are going to pay him.  Being that I'm not working we need the money so... he can't go.  :-(    I have never drove that far by myself before so I'm not to happy about it.  But hes just taking care of me an our " baby to be " .  I will not be home until Friday.  So I may not be on here for a while.  I just wanted to let every one know so no one worries lol.  Well... MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERY ONE an GOD BLESS!!!

They told me before that the swelling is the norm but the itching is new.  An it only itches at night when I'm trying to sleep.  Crazy huh.  Well... I'm in Shreveport now!  I'm going to be here until Friday.  Merry Christmas!  Anita

If you are experiencing swelling and itchiness you need to give your doctor a call if you haven't mentioned this previously.  There are several liver-related illnesses during pregnancy that can cause these symptoms and these need to be ruled out.

Merry Christmas to you too!  Take it easy, go the speed limit, stop for breaks to get up and stretch your legs and you'll be fine =)  

No itchy hands...but I have one itchy shin!  I think it is just dry skin for me...try to stay hydrated...drink lots of water and hope you feel better!
