What kind of luck that is, I'm not too sure. Regardless, the thing that I found to be most helpful, was cold washcloths. I would soak them in water, wring them out, lay them flat, put a piece of wax paper in between, lay another flat on top, repeat... FREEZE THEM!! It felt FABULOUS. It also worked really really well for engorgement issues too. I'm thinking about you all, and praying for a speedy and safe delivery!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22481322.post-14491067957481816092007-06-16T15:44:00.000-04:002007-06-16T15:44:00.000-04:00I would call the doc about the itching.

What many women don't realize, however, is that sometimes itching can be a sign of a liver abnormality called intrahepatic (within the liver) cholestasis (pooling of bile salts) of pregnancy. When associated with itching, the skin component is called pruritus gravidarum. It is a rare condition occurring in 1-2/10,000 pregnancies in North America it is more common in the last 3 months of pregnancy and with twin pregnancies. It recurs in subsequent pregnancies in 60-70% of women. About half the time it is associated with yellow jaundice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22481322.post-29641401897443383412007-06-16T13:25:00.000-04:002007-06-16T13:25:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear that the back pain is so bad right n...Sorry to hear that the back pain is so bad right now.
