Itchy Bumps

[Gina209]

Has anyone developed red itchy bumps on their body?? Within the past week I've been so itchy and I noticed that I have red bumps all over my legs and arms. I'm not allergic to anything and I've never had a reaction to anything I've used. Plus I haven't done anything different in the past few weeks...as far as eating or lotions, body wash etc. But I have been so damn itchy, its bad! And its just on my arms and legs. It feels like I have poison ivy or something! Does anyone else have this or know what it could be from??

Also, does anyone else feel lonely?? My husband is home for a good part of the day or night depending on his work schedule but even when he's here I feel like its so lonely. I know its because we've had people in and out of our home for the past 3 weeks. My mom came and stayed with us, my mother-in-law came to stay with us...and every weekend we've had tons of people over. This is going to be the first week we wont have people stopping by and already it feels so quiet. I just get so scared sometimes that Caiden is going to cry and cry and I wont know what to do. And its weird because I know my husband & I are completely capable of taking care of him but sometimes when I think about it, I get so scared thinking I wont know what to do if he's hurting or crying real bad. I'm sure a lot of what I'm feeling has to do with all the emotions running through me and my hormones but I can't help it! Like my husband tries to work out everyday and we have a finished gym downstairs...basement level...so I am on the main floor with the baby and he will be working out down there and even with me knowing he is stairs away it makes me sad and I feel lonely. Is that the most pathetic thing or what!? Is anyone else feeling this way?? It doesn't help that were in a new area and we dont know anyone around here...were not super far from friends and family but they dont live down the street either. I dunno, I hope this is just a phase because I dont want to worry so much or feel lonely!

well italked to her  yesterday and she  said it was most likely homonal cause to the  rash due the  fast chaning hormones  after having a baby. HSe if it persists and gets  worse at all u can call ur doc to see if there is something u can  use to help the icth on the  rash. SHe wasnt  sure what u could use if u  breastfeeding or not.  HOpefully that helps.

What did your mom say about the rash??

ihave no clue what the  bumps are  but  ia m going to  ask my mother she is  Rn and might now if not i am  going to  try to research what they are. YEah it is  hard with three of them  now it seems like  sleep  is never and option  when  two are sleeping the  lil miss is up and when they  others are up she is sleeping. Yeah my other children help with the  being lonely   i know i am not the only one in the house  besides the baby but nothing compares to  have another adult around the house. I can tell u things will get easier once he starts sleeping more and things fall into a schedule of  some kind. look   i had two others and  sruvived lol  man i donthink i have  slept  well in yearslol just kidding.  U arent  being a  bad mom  it  is normal to  feel overwhelmed. I remember withmy frist one i was like i have  no clue what i am  doing. I didnt even know how to  dress her. I had to have one of the aides at the hospital help me wiht getting all her little  clothes on. I think i cried fora  full month after bringing her home.  htere is  a light at the end of the tunnel so to  speak.  it will get easier

Gina i am an emtotional wreck too.  i feel alone with people here also.  i also cry for no reason too.  i at times find that i am asking myself, why are you crying.

Thank you so much. It does help knowing others are going through the same thing. Not that I want anyone to be feeling lonely or anything...but I thought something was wrong with me feeling this way. I don't know how you do it with 3 kids! You must never sleep! Props to you girl...I don't think I'd be able to do it. It does get super lonely though...does having your other children around help with that? It seems to be getting better each day but I just hate feeling this way..I feel like I'm being a bad mom. I also think when Caiden starts sleeping longer and gets on some kind of schedule things will get easier and I wont feel this way as much. So thanks for the message, I really appreciate it! I will definitely pm you...and if you ever wanna talk to someone, you can pm me as well! Thanks girl!

Do you know what the itchy bumps are? Or what caused them? I've had them over a week and no one else has caught them from me?

dont worry  i going through a  similar  thing  and this is  baby number  three for me. I think it has to do with the  whirlwind of emotions and hormones that  get thrown at us.  as for the  itchy  rash thing i am  having the same things happening to  me . i Have no idea what it is  but it  doesnt seem to  be catchy cause everyone would have it in my household  including my lil miss. Dont worry about the  worry about not  knowing what do .  That happens to everyone  i think  i know i  did  it with  all my  kids   i still find myself worrying about  not knowing what to do with Mckenna .  I know the lonely  feeling my  husband had to go  back to  work  right after we  got home from the  hospital  so that made things on me harder compounded by the fact that i was exhuasted and not only had to care for the  baby i had to do things to keep my other  kids entertained. Man i was the  only adult in the house  for  10 hours a day ,  if everu  need to  or  feel loney and  wanna  chat  just send  me a msg . Maybe it will help u knowing that  someone else is going through the  same feelings as u are
