Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm 26 wks. and have developed a severe rash all over my body (except back where I can't itch:) My breast and chest are the worse! Today went to pcp, who told me to take the over-the-counter Claritan (not Claritan D) until the rash heals. Stay away from hot showers. Use cold compresses if really itchy. It's the weekend and I'm staying away from the shower/bath all together for at least two days to let my skin have a chance to simmer and heal. Let's keep our fingers crossed. This itching is crazy and making me feel quezy! Ug - what we go through to have beautiful babies...but it's soooo worth it. Goodluck everyone...Also, aloe seems to help cool the itchiness for at least a little while.
