ITCHY!!!

38 weeks with PUPPPS... so bummed out. And I've got a head cold to boot. Is there any one who has had it or is currently suffering? What are you doing to help with the itch? I need all the help I can. This sucks!  

Oatmeal baths, Grandpa's pine tar soap sold at health stores works too. Benadryl...

grandpa's pine tar soap does help a little. benadryl helps a little.

I got pupps around 36 weeks delivered at 38+1 and am 6 days pp today and still freaking itch  My midwife said it could take a couple of weeks after delivery

I'll give both a try and hopefully I can keep from making it worse. I read that it can spread all over. Is there a way to control that?

to my understanding no it can't be prevented...
Mine started just on my tummy and I thought it was just my strech marks itching. But then at 38 weeks I was itchy all over and it my midwife said it was Pupps. It really sucks. And it sucks that it doesn't stop right after birth,
