Oh the itching sounds terrible jt! I'm sorry for you. I'm sure it's probably right around the corner for me.
My hair is starting to get greasy again like the first tri. And I think I'm starting to smell myself again too. :(
 
I had the "smelling myself" issue a week or so ago again. I hate that!!! Luckily this week it seems to have gone again.

Annoyingly I'm having AF-type cramping tonight which has woken me up. Meh x
 
I had cramps this afternoon and just tried to take it easy. I'm up too. Feeling hungry, as usual.
Bf class was awesome btw. They went over all the pumps and holds and we're all about exclusively pumping too Jules. No questions needed. They said it might be best to rent a hospital grade to make it go faster because you will need so much milk. They rented them for $70 a month. They said they are about $2000 to purchase outright.
 
That's great sass! It really is the luck of the draw as to who you get teaching you and their stance. I have the ameda lactoline so will give that a go first before renting the hospital grade one. I've had a go of it already and its do brutal on the highest setting! I need to start low and toughen those puppies up a bit! x
 
Does anyone else feel like their belly could actually pop come the evening??!
 
Yup!

My belly is so full and hard. She really has nowhere left to go now so I really think I'm going to balloon these next few weeks.

My skin is probably going to get a ton worse too.

It's just all so tight and full already!!
 
relief from itching - finally. it looks like a combo of coconut oil, benadryl and hydrcortisone cream are the magic number. whew.

yeah, my belly feels like it's going to pop like a water balloon by at 4pm! where else can this little guy go???
 
YES! Especially if I eat too much! (Like hardly anything!)
 
I just said the same thing earlier today! I feel like I could pop at any moment!
And sweet moment of the day- our accountant asked me when I was due and when I told him he said he couldn't believe how small I am! He said he thought maybe the baby was due in July! Nicest thing anyone has said in so long...
 
girls i think i may have pupps :(
the itching is unbearable. even with benadryl i don't sleep at night. woke up this morning and looks like a rash on my belly. going to call in sick and go to the doctor :(
 
Sass - now thats the kind of thing you want said to you!

Jtink - so sorry to hear that it's still bad. Definitely the right thing to do to go to the doc if it's unbearable. Are you sure though that it's not just the skin stretching? I've heard some people say that that is insanely itchy too. Fingers crossed it's just that.

x
 
i thought it was just skin stretching, too. but this morning i woke up (after really only dozing off to sleep for about 1 hour all night) to small red bumps on my belly that weren't there last night.

it's not just itchy. i want to rip my skin off. i've been tempted to call the doctor and force him to deliver the baby early, just so it goes away. i went through one tube of hydrocortisone cream in 2 days. i'm miserable :(
 
i called the nurse about this 2 days ago (i didn't have the rash then), and she said the doc would see me if i developed a rash. so i'm going to call as soon as they open and just go down there. i don't know if there's anything they can do or give you, but it's worth a try.
 
Does it look like any of these? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruritic_urticarial_papules_and_plaques_of_pregnancy

According to that they could give you oral steroids to try to help it (although not great if pregnant) x
 
yep, looks similar (mine's not as bad, but the spots developed overnight, so i wouldn't doubt it if it got worse)

i won't take steroids - i took oral steroids for 9 months for my crohn's, and it totally effed up my body. i'll see what else they offer.
 
plus, my best friend had PUPPS, and she said steroids didn't help her at all.
 
I don't blame you. Not sure if it would help but you could try ice packs on it too to try to get some immediate relief. Keep us posted and good luck! x
 
Oh jtink that sounds absolutely horrible :-( make sure they take your bloods and check your liver function too just to rule out this although it sounds more like pupps https://www.patient.co.uk/health/obstetric-cholestasis better to be on the safe side. Hope you can get some relief soon xxxx
 
Quick post to say woo hoo, 36 weeks for me today and even better to say that I'm 9 months preggo! Term at the end of this week.

Congrats too Hann on week 35 and to anyone else who is rolling! Nearly there... x
