Anyone else experience this??

Question

I'm 33wks 1 day and my privates hurt so bad. If I open my legs it hurts even worse, I can't get comfortable at night and I'm  constantly tossing and turning due to the pain. Is this normal?? It's my second baby but I didn't experience this at all with him. Also I've been extremely itchy all over and I don't know why... it doesn't matter how much shea butter, cocoa butter, or coconut oil I use I'm constantly itching including the palms of my hands. Should I call my OB?

Answer

The pressure a soreness down there shouldn't last too long. I remember feeling that way with my first pregnancy. It hurt to sit or stand or move. Do you have a maternity belt? It may help relieve some of that pressure. I use my belt daily and I feel so much better when I do! I'm not sure about the itching.

Answer

The itching could be PUPPPS, an oatmeal bath and straight aloe vera will help.

The pain can be caused by baby's position, I was so sore and swollen with my 2nd, it was awful! Try a sitz bath, it helps the pain.

Answer

I would call OB. I know being itchy all over is a sign of something bad I just don't remember the name of it.
