postpartum itchy?

Question

is anyone else experiencing extreme itchiness? my fingers, hands, arms, back, waist, boobs, butt, legs... basically ALL over will get really itchy.  i drink lots of water, and apply lotion, but still get really itchy. i notice this happens more often right after i pump. 
also my left wrist has become so weak and sore, i wear a brace now when nursing or carrying my LO. i feel like my body is falling apart. 😭

Answer

Yes! Had to go to doctor and got prescribed steroid cream. Helped after week of using. See your doctor 🙂

Answer

Oh yeah! My entire body itched like crazy. I checked into an allergy consultant and found out I had hives called dermatographia with no particular reason. They told me to just take Zyrtec and I was good after that.

Answer

I was itchy while pregnant. Turns out the change in hormones made me allergic to all fragrances and perfumes. I had to switch my laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash, and lotion. Once I did that, it went away within a few days.
