This pregnancy has been the hardest of any of them. I don't know if it is my age or because it's s girl. The first few weeks I had a massive headache, all the time. Then followed by bad (all day) sickness. I was so tired and could hardly do anything. I finally started getting over being sick and a few places started itching on my body. About a week after I started itching, it had spread all over my body. It was way worse at night. I was usually awake from about 11 pm to 3 am then it seemed to ease up a little. I spoke to the doctor and he thinks I have Cholestatis, a disease you can get when your pregnant. Your body doesn't get rid of the bile right so it leaks into your blood stream and you itch really bad. He put me on medicine which has approved it about 50 percent, but still is miserable! I want to crawl out of my skin most of the time. I did more blood work today, hopefully we will find out what the problem for sure is. It just seems like it is one thing after another with this pregnancy. I'm still not sleeping good at night, normally wake at least a few hours. I've tried every detox bath, cream, vitamin, and oil you can imagine... The only thing that helps is peppermint but when it's covering your body, you actually feel really cold. But it does real over the itch for a couple hours. I've decided through all of this that I'm to old to have a baby!!!

I'm sorry that this is a rough pregnancy. The itching sounds terrible. I call it the heebie jeebies and I get them all too often. Hope it goes away once your darling little pink bundle arrives.
