    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!

    Great news that your symptoms don't match Helly PUPPPS is horrific, I had seven weeks of insane itching & it was dreadful.

    I'm having trouble coping after just four days of it - I can't begin to imagine what seven weeks must have been like!!!
