Epsom salt bath

I have PUPPS all over my body and Epsom salt baths have been my saving grace! It's the only thing, besides pine tar soap, that will keep me from itching for more than a few hours. Plus I actually have ankles again because it's helped with swelling! I have read a few places that it slows contractions or prevents them. I'm 37 weeks and obviously don't won't to delay contractions as giving birth is the only cure for PUPPS. Anyone heard anything about the safety of Epsom salt baths in 3rd tri? I'm going to dr. tomorrow, I was just curious.

    I take an Epsom salt, baking soda, and lavender EO bath every few days. It's amazing and does help with swelling and my overall sense of relaxation!

    I love Epsom salt baths it smells like eucalyptus and reduced swelling in my feet and ankles and helped out with the cramps I've been getting in my leg

    I'm living in these baths at the moment. A good anti itch shampoo is t gel, my husband has terrible ecsma and he uses it as a body wash. Good luck

    I have pupps too and haven't found anything to help with the itchiness. I will have to try Epsom salt baths! Crossing my fingers it helps!
