PUPPP SHMUPPP
I just wanted to say, in case anyone was unaware, that I am SO ready to get this baby out of me! The PUPPPS rash has returned and I am livid. It is so highly unlikely to even get it your first pregnancy..and the odds are non existent for getting it your second. Not to mention, it usually occurs when you are having a boy. I have defied all odds here people. My doctor said it is literally crazy to him that I have gotten it once again. I think with Axton I got it at 32 weeks...so I am thankful that I started getting it at 36 weeks this time around. It is just on my stomach for now..but I am dreading..and I mean DREADING it to spread any further on my body. By the time Axton was born it was from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. It was TERRIBLE. When I went to the doctor on Monday I told him I didn't need the steroid cream quite yet just because putting regular lotion on it when it got super itchy was working well enough. Two days later I regret what I said. During the day it isn't so bad. Once and awhile it will start itching like crazy and I feel like I could just bust out of my skin from the intense urge to itch it like crazy. At night it is the worst, only because I can't really control myself. It will start itching while I'm sleeping..and I'll start itching it half sleeping and not realize that I'm doing it. Once you start itching..it really is quite impossible to stop, literally. When I'm going crazy itching it..it feels SOOOOOOO good..and the second I stop it is just an overwhelming hot burning crazy ass itching feeling that is unbearable...so I start itching again and it goes away and I am feeling bliss. The problem with this is that itching it is what causes it to spread. Having it contained on my belly is enough problem in itself. I do not need it on my arms and legs and feet and back again. NO I DO NOT. I called my doctor this morning and said Just kidding I would like the steroid cream! The problem with the steroid cream vs regular lotion is that you have to use very sparingly because the steroids soak into the skin and are absorbed..therefore baby can be exposed to it as well. I just want it for nighttime so I don't make it much much worse unknowingly. Friday will mark me full term and then she better come out ASAP before this rash gets out of control! I know that I can't decide that...but it would be mighty swell if she would do that for me. Cervical check on Monday showed 1cm dilated, 25% effaced and fully softened so lets get this stinkin show on the road eh?
