It seems as those these pregnancy hormones are drying out my skin or something...when my legs/arms/back come into contact with water I itch for like 3o minutes!! I swear my skin isn't dry!! After my showers I put enough lotion on to drown a bird not to mention the hydrating body wash I put on as well as baby oil. This has always been my routine minus a few gallons of lotion. Nothing seems to be working no matter what lotion I try!!
I notice it to bother me more after coming home a visit in VA. It seems to bother me for about 2 weeks after...so I think it may be the chlorine in our water? I dunno. This time it seems to be sticking around & out for a vengeance!! It was triggered severely today during my pre-natal water aerobics class!! EEEEK. It was brutal.
I got some Eucern itch relief sample stuff from the pediatricians meet & greet so I will be trying that out next shower. Since I already had a major reaction today & showered after the pool I won't be taking a shower for a few days and soaking up some the lotion & hoping maybe that will help?? I dunno. I am headed to my Dad's for the weekend on the other end of town & I don't want to add that water in the mix. So hubby helped me wash my hair in the sink this evening and it seems where the water got on my shoulders & arms is itchy UGH and I immediately put lotion on.
I asked my doc about this & she claims it is hormones...screw em' I say! I sure hope this ends soon!!
