The past few days I have been itching like
.C.R.A.Z.Y... Mainly on my feet, hands,
arms and head.. Except I don't have a
rash. The last time I itched like this
was when I had an allergic reaction to the
antibiotics I was on, and that was a
horrible rash.. This is just strange. I
can't sleep at night because of it.. It
seems to get worse then.
I don't know if this is connected, but
since this has started i've also been
really down a lot.. I cry all the time
and sometimes i'm not sure why. I know
pregnancy does weird things to your
hormones, but this seems to be non-stop.
I read somewhere that pregnancy can make
your skin itch, but if it's all the time
then it could be more serious.. Should I
see my midwife about it? I'm going to see
her on thursday anyway, but if it's
serious then maybe I should ring her
sooner.
I don't know.. This pregnancy has taken
such a toll on my emotions.. But i've
never been this down before. I don't see
how they could be symptoms of one thing,
maybe it's just a coincidence.. But it's
starting to worry me.

Itching? Man thats gotta be horrible. I
would be frustrated too. Thats probably
why your crying. You should deffinitly
talk to a midwife and see if she has any
ideas on why and what you can do to make
it stop. I hope your midwife can help it
stop..

Try a cool shower and leave yourself to
dry naturaly if that doesn't work see your
gp for a blood test and some anti
histamines if the itching was on your
abdomen then it could be cause for worry
but as it is on your hands and feet it is
more likely the elasticity in your skin
drying it out

I itched really badly, but I think it was
because of the swelling. It was horrid
and I couldn't sleep because of it either.
It was horrible.I am so sorry hun.
