I can't stop scratching

I just scratch and scratch my belly! Once I start I can't stop (I have PUPP's) It just feels so good!

    SB that is a wonderful idea!

    ::runs off to find oven mitts with grooves on them so I can scratch with the oven mitts.

    I would so ask your OB about it because it gets worse! I have cortizone cream I am lucky most women get it at like 35 weeks I got it a week before my induction so I never asked for the steroid RX.

    Hey you're team green might interest you to know if you do have PUPP's 80% of women who have it are pregnant with boys!

    Yowww! Be careful. I was scratching the other day (nothing so bad as PUPPS, just itchy stretchmarks) and accidentally scratched myself open. : Apparently that tummy skin is pretty thin right now.

    yeah I read that!...the weird thing is I don't have a rash really but I am itchy! and I don't have any stretch marks either! most of the itchy is on my stomach but sometimes I am itchy on my arms as well. I haven't asked or showed my midwife because if there is a rash it is VERY light and mild. The websites I read said calamine lotion and Benadryl are fine. I am not to concerned right now as long as it stays this way and doesn't get worse. who knows maybe it's stretch marks trying to show up.

    I wonder why the boy thing is?

    Yeah it sounds like PUPP's because of where it is. I am trying to be a little more natural anyways so I didn't want steroids I figured one week wasn't that long. Mine showed up as like a red bump here and there on my oh so sexy stretchies! It spread to my arms too.

    Hydracortizone cream, benadryl cream, Aveeno Oatmeal Bath (don't drink it LOL).  Good stuffs!  I remember the itching driving me to tears in my last pg.  It hasn't been as bad this time.  yet.

    Hope your itchies stop soon! <3

    Did it go away right after you had DS?
