Do you have any benadryl cream......That is really good for a rash, but I can't take it......It'll kill me. Lol. Allergic to an allergy medicine. Weird.

Probally! I haven't shaved my legs in a while, never really had a reason to, I stopped shaving my legs like last year, lol. I dont mind them, 'cuz the hair isn't so thick and stuff so i'll justl eave it, I dont want them to get thicker. And about the dry thing, I never put any lotion on my legs! So mine are pretty dry, too, lol.

Eww you know what, i'm starting to itch all over my body now. I just took a bath!

Dont worry girls, hehe it is completely normal to itch during pregnancy. Its the most common symptom also.

Try some of these:

Arrow wear loose cotton clothing. Tight lycra has a lot to answer for!
Itching may be soothed by dissolving a cup of bicarbonate of soda in your bathwater.
Arrow try dabbing calamine lotion onto itchy skin - especially soothing if you keep the bottle in the fridge.
A few drops of lavender oil (in the last three months of pregnancy) and/or tea tree oil in your bath may also offer relief from itching, whether or not there is a rash. Tea tree oil has proven medicinal benefits; consult packaging and enclosed literature to find out more. If in any doubt, ask your pharmacist or a qualified aromatherapist.
Arrow treat sweat rashes by washing frequently in cool water, and sprinkling on non-perfumed talcum powder. Your pharmacist may be able to suggest other safe treatments.
Arrow if a rash does not improve with these simple measures, consult your doctor. Specific anti-fungal or other treatments may be appropriate. Alternatively, she or he may prescribe antihistamine cream or tablets.
