shingles
Was just wondering if anyone has had shingles while they were pregnant. Went to the doctors with rash and it was shingles the only problem is that it is killing my back :( if anyone has had this how long did it take for the pain to go away thanks x
Aww thank you:) least i know the rash will be away soon so hard not to scratch!! horrible thing to have when pregnant :(
I got it when I was 35 weeks and it took almost two weeks for the rash to go away. But I still get itchy where the rash was. My doc said since it effects the nerves that the itchiness and pain could last awhile. I'm 38 weeks now. I know how you feel it will get better though!
