[Ashley032015]

Whelp, I am 34 weeks pregnant and I literally itch EVERYWHERE! Is there anyway I can make the itching stop? Or is there anything I can do to at least get some sort of relief from it?

Yes call your doctor asap...it can be many things but I'm currently being treated as I have cholestasis of pregnancy, which can cause itching anywhere but most cases, like in mine, is in feet, ankles, and hands. It has something to do with the bile not being directed correctly, for women it's not harmful but could be very dangerous for the baby, potential stillbirth, fetal death. It mostly happens in the third trimester. Since your so far along you may want to contact your doctor asap and ask for a blood test and hopefully they'll start treating you just in.case  because it can take up to 2 weeks for results. I'm finding out Tuesday if I have it or not, if I doctor said he's inducing me at 36 weeks, which is I'm three weeks for me. Hopefully your just itchy but it's always best to rule out everything. And don't let a doctor try to tell you it's just itchy skin, ask for the test and medicine as a precaution...sorry it was so long lol...good luck, keep us posted! :-)

Make sure u do tell ur doctor about this so they can check ur bile acids as the itching can be something serious at times!!

Baby oil gel works for me

I found that mixing baby oil gel with my lotion provides tremendous relief

Hi, I currently have hyperemesis gravidarum. One of the issues with this sickness, is unfortunately having severely dehydrated skin, due to the lack of fluid consumption. With that being said, I find myself extremely itchy... ALL OVER. :-( To alleviate that horrible itchy feeling, I take a nice warm bath. I will even take a warm shower, that is if I can find the strength to stand. After that I lotion my entire body down with Bio-Oil, and pure Shea Butter. This is also very good for preventing scars, and stretch marks. I hope this information has been helpful to you. Hang in there and good luck! :-)
