Strange 3rd trimester symptoms?
I will be 35 weeks pregnant tomorrow, and for the past week I’ve been experiencing awful symptoms that I just can’t see as normal..
-Mainly, SEVERE itching. and I mean, everywhere (mostly on my feet and my hands- but it itches everywhere else too). it has gotten to the point where I have scratched so furiously that I’ve drawn blood. It sounds ridiculous, but I literally can not control myself.
-Really, really yellow urine. I thought I could possibly not be drinking enough water, but I have been watching myself and I am drinking far more than I should be.
-Insomnia. Mainly because I’m up all night itching… but I am getting maybe 2-3 hours a night and occasionally I can snag an hour nap during the day. It’s just impossible to sleep when I’m tearing up my hands and feet scratching. ]=
My poor fiance has been trying so hard to help me, but he has no idea what to do. I wake him up crying all night long because I just can’t stop scratching and I just can’t sleep. He’s even had me take benadryl and I’ve been using hydrocortizone- but there is no relief. Has anyone else ever had this happen? What should I do?

Because your urine is bright yellow and you’re pregnant, I’d worry that your kidneys aren’t filtering your blood properly. The itching may be a sign of excessive amounts of chemicals that are normally found in your blood in scant amounts.
Please call your OB-Gyn now and let them know what is going on. Or, go to an urgent care facility or even the emergency room of your local hospital. Don’t delay.
Please let me know what you find out!

Ask your doctor what you can do to relieve your itching. Insomnia is actually very common for third trimester. I didn’t get any more sleep than that even without all the itching!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:12 pmI am 37 weeks pregnant and I have had the itching problem. I go to the dr with scratches all over and she is like do you have a cat that is scratching you. I’m like no I just itch. I have been using Skin So Soft lotion from Avon and it has helped some. My urine is sometimes yellow yellow and sometimes it looks like water I really think that depends on what you eat or drink. I didn’t have insomnia until about 36 weeks. I think it is because our bodys are getting in position to have the baby and it is just uncomfortable. GOod LUck!

March 5th, 2010 at 2:12 pmYou really need to get checked out as this bad itching can be a danger to you and baby, its got something to do with your liver, Im not sure, But get checked out asap
1st the urine…is it really yellow or more like orange? More on the orange side would mean you need to drink and pee more, really really yellow, I don’t think that is an issu but you may want to call your obgyn just to make sure.
The itchiness may be from the fact that all your skin is stretching, especially if your hands and feet are swollen and it’s winter. double whammy! Use a good cream, maybe a gold bond cream and try to have a cool mist vaporizer or humidifier in your room.
Not sleeping. Pretty much get used to that. Your at a point (itchy or not) that it will be uncomfortable and you have to pee 100 times etc…
good luck.
