I am going nuts!! I became really really REALLY itchy last night, and I mean Everywhere!! I couldn't sleep because of it and finally climbed into a cool bath of baking soda at 2 AM (didn't have any oatmeal), I was still itchy while in the water and only slightly relieved for the rest of the night. I am still incredibly itchy and am trying my hardest not to scratch my skin off. I don't have a rash or any hives however my skin is getting quite red and speckled with blood spots from my constant scratching.
Is this just "normal" pregnancy itch or do you think it might be something else?? I haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary or changed soaps or anything like that. I am currently taking an antibiotic for bronchitis, but I have been taking it for five days now so I don't think it is from that. I have a Doctor's appointment on Wed so I am hoping that it will be fine to wait until then to ask someone about it... just sorta has me worried as I have heard about theliver problems that can sometimes happen in pregnancy (however very rarely!!) and will cause extreme itchiness.
Anyone else suffering with this???
