    I got them during all three pregnancies in the last trimester for two of them and when I was on insulin with gd, there's nothing you can take so lots of cool showers were the way I soothed them.

    You may not think you're allergic to anything, but it still could be a food-related trigger for it. Do you remember me saying ages ago that I broke out in hives all over me from the all orange juice I was drinking? It was the preservative used in the orange juice that triggered it even though I don't actually have an allergy to it. Even if you just eat too much of something it can trigger hives. DH broke out in them once from eating too many prawns so it could be something as simple as that. You oculd try having a bath in some pinetarsol if you can get to a chemist, other than that fill a stocking with some rolled oats and use it as a loofah in the bath.
