34 weeks preggy and itchy!?


Question:
The past few days I have been so itchy! It's everywhere too. My arms are the worst, and my thighs too! I have like a rash from scratching. I called my dr and they suggested switching laundry detergent and bath soaps, plus take benadryl,and use aveeno oatmeal bath for 24 hrs and see if that helps. Has anyone else had this problem? What could it be?

Answers:
Why on Earth would a DR. tell you to take Benadryl at 34 weeks? Try some hydrocortizone cream combined with Aveno. Also wear light clothing that lets your skin breathe.

Hope you feel better.


Also, if it is a rash, ask your Doc about Hydroxizine as opposed to Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
don't scratch! causes stretch marks BAD! use vitamin e lotions!
