Itching all over!!!

Wake_Life

Called my doctor's office and they said it could be pupps but I don't really have any rashes. When it itches and I scratch I get bumps but once it stops it goes away. I did recently start getting little clear bumps on my hands though that itch like crazy! She told me to get hydrocotizone cream and take a bath with a whole thing of baking soda mixed in and continue taking benadryl but if I don't get better in the next day or two to come in. Has anybody else had this? They say pupps is usually not until third tri. I did read that it only appears in 1% of pregnant woman and that 70% of those women have boys. I'm going crazy itching all over but mostly my legs!!!!

I've got the clear bumps, and my boobs itch like crazy, but that's about it. Sometimes my feet.

Hope you feel less itchy soon!

I went through this around 20-22 weeks...about the same time I "popped".  I would scratch so bad in my sleep that I would break blood vessels!  I just kept lathering myself in Mama Bee Belly balm and hydrocortizone for the really itchy spots.  I have been getting those clear itcyh bumps on my hands lately too, but I'm not too concerned with them.

Could it be hives?  The only thing I know of that would take care of hives (that you can take during pregnancy) is Benadryl, and it sounds like you've been taking that...

Sorry you're having to go through this--hope it gets better!!

That runs in DH's side of the family I have heard they are no fun!!!

I had the itchy all over feeling right before me wedding I was only 8 weeks so I know it wasnt pupps or my skin stretching. They told me to take Super-B Complex,  and the reason for the itching was prolly stress which makes since planning a wedding from 2000 miles away and being scared to death to fly will make you a little stressed.

It was only like $5 for the big bottle of it at walmart make sure you ask your doc. first though.

Thanks Ladies. I could understand if it was boobs, stomach, maybe thighs but is is everywhere and my lower legs seem to be the worst. Like behind my knees and my calves. AAAAAAhhhhhhh!!!!
