My sister got a rash with her pregnancies towards the end. She was itchy all the time
Same thing happened to me. I mentioned it to midwife and that the itching was worse at night. She drew blood and I had elevated liver bile acid levels. She then gave me medication that I have to take twice a day as well as herbal detox drops for the liver. The condition is obstetric cholestasis and you only get it in pregnancy.. It ***** but, goes away after. If you do have it, be prepared for pills and blood draws every 2 weeks while taking them to make sure your blood is clotting the way it should. Also, induction might happen due to high risk from the condition. just a heads up! I hope that's not what you have going on because it ***** but, I shall pray for ya and the baby!
I don't know if this will work for cholestasis, but I was getting mean hives everywhere and oatmeal baths were very soothing. Itch was better after the first time. After two baths the redness and hives were almost gone and by 3 they were totally gone. I have one every few days and the hives haven't come back. Its worth a try for you. Aveeno colloidal oatmeal bath is what I used.
Ive had really severe itching for weeks now ive made myself bleed everywhere possible especially my legs. Ive had multiple testing and i dont have oc im waiting for tests to come back again tday. I cnt sleep at night and my skin is so sore i totally understand what your going through
I had cholestasis the itching gets worse at night specially on your legs... I had to be induced the doctor said it was the only way it would go away... Good luck
At what week were you indused ??
Hi im currently 38weeks +2days and also have really bad itching which is driving me crazy it started 4days ago under my stretchmarks and is now all over my body,ive had a blood test for OC and get results tommorro :-S im currently using calamine lotion and sudocrem to try and stop myself scratching, it helps sometimes...I hope youre symptoms ease
It could also be eczema, which is easily remedied with a topical cream applied twice daily
I also have been having really terrible itching and I thought it was down to change of creams. Not sure as to what to do about it I have 8days for my edd and my Dr appointment ain't till the 8th
May also be puppps. Although I know my stretch marks were super itchy too.
