I started to have a lot of itchiness on my feet and the palms of my hands. My chest and axilla. I informed my physician and she did a bile fractioned plasma test and checked my liver. We have a strong family history of liver/stomach cancer in the family, my labs came back negative, thank god! She said if they were positive I would have to be induced. So now we are back to the original plan and ive limited my sugars and salts
I'm 37 weeks 3 days and I've been super itchy my whole pregnancy. I use a ton of coco butter lotion every day and it was really helping until a couple weeks ago. Now no matter how much lotion I put on I'm extremely itchy. My face is really dry too, but not itchy. I itch every where else though. I had the same itchness with my first pregnancy, but not this bad.
I do advise you to consult your Dr when it comes to anything pertaining to your body and baby.
Yes ma'am, I was given the green light.
candy are u sure cortizone is safe for us?so far ive tried to avoid taking any kind of meds unless doc approves!
lol samread06 yeah hormones rulezz!damn! well ill ask my doc next week that i have appointment but seriously sometimes i want to rip my skin off! lol
I also started feeling itchy under my breasts and at the very top of my stomach. I had little red bumps. I just put cortizone on these areas and I've been OK so far.
Ive had the same thing now for almost a month at first i thought it was allergies too but i asked my obgyn about it and she said its most likely from the pregnancy hormones she said although it can b super itchy at times it would go away after my son in born. I guess its similar to the pregnancy mask some women get. Oh what these hormones can do. Lol
