Itchy below 32+5 (please read 😅)
I’ve been itchy from below, just around the lips and upper clit roof area, for about a month. (On the outside area)
I called them and they told me to try monistat 7 and I did that as told. It continued. I have very sensitive skin so I’ve just avoided trying to shave it more than usual, just to avoid irritation, but I do trim it.
I called on Friday and told them it was still going on, they told me my urine was fine and when they did cultures a month ago it was all clear, then advised me to try benedryl cream or vagisil, but she said my OB could check again at my appointment Monday to make sure it’s not anything else. So Monday I went and we talked and they asked if I had any discharge with it and I haven’t. She told me it could be hormones and asked if I tried the benedryl cream or vagisil. (I used the benedryl cream over the weekend, but no change) so once I left my appointment, I went and picked up some vagisil.. I’ve been using it twice a day and it really just burns, and my itch is still there. I am going to call tomorrow BUT I’m just wanting to see if this is familiar with anyone else? I’ve posted on here weekly about it with updates. I just don’t want it to be anything serious and reach my baby if there is some bacterial infection going on down there.. I’m well aware it could be hormones with the summer heat coming around as well. I now wish they would’ve checked me on Monday for BV or anything but I do go back June 9th for my weekly appointments. Also I’m not sure if my baby is just running out of room, he meets his kick count but it’s nothing compared to what movement I’ve been getting the last few weeks, along with a ton of Braxton Hicks... I’ll still call tomorrow morning.
