Anyone else itchy?

RunSchwartzRun · August 2011

I remember this so clearly from my pregnancy with DS, so I don't think it is anything serious, but I still don't understand it. I am itchy all over my body. All.the.time. It is driving me crazy! I finally broke down and took a benedryl last night so I could sleep. I don't have any hives, no rashes, nothing. I feel like I am going insane. Anyone else? If so, how do you deal with it?

TMI - but my boobs are itchy. I'm gonna high-five myself if it means they're growing cause those of us on the Itty Bitty T!tty Committee could use the help.

Off-topic: Schwartz....was sorry to hear about the troubles with your sweet pup. Did you end up having to put her down? I've had to do that with several pets and it sucks every time.

Ugh, my skin has been soooooooooooo dry and itchy. I put lotion on everyday after I get out of the shower and you would never know it!

My boobs were super itchy the past 3 days it was making me crazy, and that seems to have calmed a little, but I feel like I have no moisture in my skin! Stick out tongue

My sister, with her first pregnancy, had a weird under the skin itchiness all the time. She had her baby on August 7, and it got worse as the summer went on...she also had awful swelling. I haven't felt itchy, yet, and I really hope that's one symptom my body avoids.

My tummy is VERY itchy and I use a ton of lotion on it daily!! I had the same issue when pg w/DD.

Well, I hope you get your dream boobs! I am personally hoping mine stay the same...please please please don't let them get bigger.

As for my dog, unfortunately we did have to put her down. 5 vets and a specialist could not figure out how to treat her. My DH is actually picking up her ashes today. Thanks for asking.

All the lotion in the world is not making a difference.... belly and boobs are itching like crazy! My friend says it's because the stretch marks are right around the corner! Surprise

I have had really dry skin, but I haven't been too itchy yet. Just a few times. I hope you feel better soon.

Well hey, if you end up with extra boobage I'd be happy to take it off your hands....haha.

Sorry to hear about your pooch. It sounds like you guys did everything you could....but the outcome is tough anyway.

I'll join the itchy boobs club - they were going off yesterday! I have not notice a size difference recently. My belly has lots of stretch marks, but no itching yet - knock on wood.

I was super itchy for a while but I started using Cetaphyl lotion all over my body and it helped immensely! Plus I use Mama Bee Balm on my belly and boobies and they don't itch at all any more. Hope it gets better for you!

OMG, I'm soooo itchy all the time. DH said he could tell I had really dry skin on my back so I took an oatmeal bath and slathered lotion on and that seemed to help.

haziedaze · August 2011

I frequently get itchy all over. It's really miserable. I'm using Mama Oil on my tummy and nipples and a body butter everywhere else. Getting into a routine with it each morning has helped some, but I frequently reapplied mid day or in the evening. Sometimes nothing helps! Hope you get some relief soon!

I get itchy all over my body too! It?s not an everyday, constant thing, but one day it?s my stomach, the next day my boobs, the next day my legs, etc. I?ve been using lots of lotion and seems to work pretty well. Good luck!

This happened to me this time to but more at the end. My OB tried to tell me I had scabies, it wasn't.

fightingravity · August 2011

I had mild eczema before I was pg, and now that I can't use my steroid cream, I am miserably itchy. Big itchy red patches on my arms, neck, chest, back, boobs...it blows.

Better than the all day m/s but it's getting to the point that it's waking me up at night. Lotion and oatmeal baths aren't helping, even cortisone cream is pretty useless.
