I would be taking yourself & the oil to your Dr & asking. While Sarah is right about itching being a sign of something more evil, the fact this happened after using the oil & in the area's you applied makes me think its a reaction to the oil.
I would find out if its safe to take a anti histmine(sp?) to easy the itching. but yeah take yourself & the product to your dr, chemist or Ob/midwife & find out what you can do.
Yeah it sounds more like a reaction to the oil to me now, but I would get it double checked anyway. You can take the old style of antihistamines that make you drowsy like polaramine which is what I had to take for my PUPPPS.
I had a really similar reaction to something when I was pregnant with Harrison... I'd previously used it before becoming pregnant so didn't think it would be an issue. I would end up in tears because of the itching. My DH got me some Polaramine and it worked brilliantly. It took about a week of no scratching for the itchiness to go away.
Maybe pop into the chemist and grab yourself some Polaramine to stop the itchiness and then go see a Dr if you're concerned.
I hope it goes away soon
Fiona - my MW is coming around tonight, thank goodness, so I'll check with her then. If she gives me the ok - I think it's off to the chemist for something safe!
Sarah - I looked up those conditions, and the symptoms don't match mine - thank goodness! Polaramine sounds like a godsend right now...
Lisa - yeah, me too! I've used it before, and for the whole first and part of the second trimesters without any problems - it just suddenly made my skin spaz out! Kinda good to know it's happened to others though - not that I'd wish this on anyone!!!
Thanks for the advice, everyone. I feel a lot better about it now, and am gonna hopefully get something for it tonight!

PUPPPS is horrific, I had seven weeks of insane itching & it was dreadful.
