Itchy

This pregnancy is giving me some weird symptoms.
First it was the restless legs.
I seem to have have tackled the restless leg problem (for now).

Now for the past week I have had this weird rash on the back of my legs. And let me tell you - it itches like you would not believe. After 1 week of the non-stop itching I figured I should call my primary care doctor. They were able to get me in on Friday.

My doctor seems to think it was ezcema (sp?) or it could be something called PUPPP which I guess is some sort of pregnancy rash that people develop in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. So- basically she really didn't know what the heck it was. She told me to take Benadryl which I guess is okay to take when you are pregnant since it is a category B drug. She also prescribed some topical lotion for me. Then she told me to use Dove soap and take Aveeno baths.

If it doesn't improve my Monday she said she would get me into the dermatologist. Today is Sunday and I am itching like crazy. Brian keeps telling me to stop itching and I want to. But - I can't. I have no control over it.

I did some research last night on PUPPP and it seems like this is something I really don't want to have. If you have it you basically have it for the duration of your pregnancy and it goes away withing 24 hours after birth. It also said that people who get PUPPP get it when they are pregnant with boys. MMMMM. This boy is already out to get me!

But - it said most people develop PUPPP in their 1st pregnancies and it starts on the belly. So - obviously there are some inconsistencies because this is my 2nd pregnancy and it is not on my belly (yet).

So - hopefully this will clear up soon before I lose my mind!
