I know it has been asked before.. but this isnt just a few itches, I am so itchy I get red bumps all over my body! Even if I just rub over it through my shirt, I trynot to scratch because my hubby yells at me. But the big red splotchy spots will come up anyway! Legs stomach back arms neck...ugh any specific lotions you found that helped extreme itching!?

    I found that mixing the following items with a mixer has been an extremely helpful lotion:

    16 oz. baby lotion

    8 oz. Vaseline

    8 oz. Vitamin E Cream

    I have this, too.

    I use calamine lotion.

    If you're comfortable with it, Benadryl is supposed to be safe during pregnancy so maybe you could try taking that? My doctor prescribed 2% hydrocortisone cream that I don't feel comfortable using in the first tri.

    I've been itchy since last week with hives/rash on my stomach, arms and legs. Now it's mostly just my legs. I really hope this doesn't last the entire pregnancy because I'm pretty uncomfortable and losing a lot of sleep.

    I just went to the doc today for red itchy spots all over and she gave me a steriod cream... im nervous about using it but figure the doc recommends it if benefits r greater then the risk... call the doc it might be easier to treat earlier unlike mine... i waited over a wk b4 calling

    It could be an allergy, I had a coworker when she was pregnant she would break out it super itchy spots from dairy. It's worth asking the doctor
