No thats impossible! I cut my nails REALLLLLY short (well, had to anyway Shel kept at me about it cos she doesn't want me to have long nails in labour ) which really didn't do all that much because I still scratch but at least I'm not breaking the skin.
I got some Aloe spray which helps ALOT! And it smells good, like milk bottle lollies lol! But the itching is now also on my forearms and my feet and ankles, and my shoulders, I don't have a rash or anything on my arms legs or shoulders, and I haven't changed soap or washing powder or anything so am going to call the midwife tomorrow and talk to her.
My deepest sympathies for anyone who has to go through this for more than a few weeks!!!!!!!!! It's hell!
Keep a close eye Leash, if it goes to your palms or soles of your feet, get to the doctor as it could be Obstetric Cholestasis which is quite serious. Otherwise, hang in there, not much longer to go.
