TMI Alert: Itching (soooo embarassed to ask)

[sweetieinva]

With all of the things that happen during pregnancy, I never thought I would be embarassed to ask something, but here goes....

You may remember my post from a few weeks ago when I started having itching all over in random places (legs, arms, head, and belly mostly). I talked to my dr who ran bloodwork and liver tests came back normal, which checked for cholestasis. Now, a couple days ago I have started having a little bit of itching around the anal area. It is not severe by any means, and comes and goes. I haven't noticed any signs of hemorroids, so could it mean something else?

Please tell me I am not the only one!!!

Could it be thrush?
As for the other areas, ( I might have posted this in another thread of yours) can you get a referral to dermatology to rule out pupps?

I'm not real familiar with thrush, would have to look it up. When I saw my OB last week, he didn't mention Pupps. Doesn't that usually have a rash with it? So far, I have no rash, just random itching. I texted with my dr yesterday and he said to try Tucks and prep h cream. I got some and today it does not seem as bad? Will wait and see though, and if it continues will go back to dr and see if I should see derm. thank you!

With dd I just had itching with twins I had a rash.

Also I think haemorrhoids can cause anal itching but not too sure. Good luck!

Good to know about the rash vs no rash....I will ask again. Thank you so much
