Itchy!!!
It just started a few hrs ago, but my back, belly and arms itch like crazy. Lotion hasn't helped. Calamine hasn't helped. I don't have any visible rash but I'm about to crawl out of my own skin. Anyone else have this?
On another note, I'm 38w4d today, and at my apt I was 50 effaced and dialated to a 2. Not a lot but getting there...c'mon kiddo!!

Re: Itchy!!!
Do you think it could be PUPP? I haven't experienced it, but others have:

Hmmm sounds exactly like me. I went to the doctors yesterday and she said I have pupps without a major rash. I'm itchy on my tummy, chest,neck, arms, legs, around my jaw line, behind my ears.... What I've been using is an oatmeal bath for babies by aveeno. It's really great. I soak for about 15 minutes and it calms down. Last night I used hydrocortisone cream on the really itchy parts and I was able to finally go to sleep. My doctor also said to try Benadryl, but I didn't like that because it just made me feel crapy the next morning.
It should go away after babies arrival.
good luck.
