Hi Mrsbexie - Polaramine can & does affect the respiratory system of newborns who's mothers have ingested the drug prior to birth. As your baby could be born at any time now this is why it's not encouraged to take.
I am more interested in the rash. Have you had a urine test? A blood test? Is there any mention of what this rash is?
Without knowing what the rash is it's not wise to treat it. You can use things in your bath - the name escapes me due to sleep deprivation but it will come to me.. Pinetarsal... !
But really find out what the rash is - that it's not a complication of pregnancy - treat the rash topically but personally I don't recommend antihistamines at this stage of pregnancy.
I agree with Inanna, I would not recommend any antihistamine at this stage in your pregnancy.
If you rash was due to your EPO use and you have stopped using EPO I would expect your rash to start to ease by now. Perhaps it’s time for a trip to the doctor to check on the rash
I think I am going into see my MW today because it is getting worse... There isn't a bad visible rash, it's just freaking itchy all over my chest, my neck and ears... I currently have an ice pack on my chest/neck to try to cool it down.
I haven't had EPO for a few days, so I don't think it is that! Can you be allergic to RLT tablets but not tea? That's the only other newish thing in my system... started them last week, I didn't have any probs with the tea leaves though. I'll wait for my MW to call about my growth scan and see what she says.
