Little baby girl is now into her 36 weeks which means that she is due to arrive anytime now. Unlike Ryan where we were mostly unprepared, we have already packed all the necessary things to bring to the hospital.
GOD..I didn't know that we had to bring that much things. Come to think of it, I don't even remember what we brought along when her water bag burst except to remind her to bring her hand phone charger (Yupe. You can read all about this in my earlier post).
Since Ryan arrived on the 34th week, we are now charting into new territories. The stomach has never been THIS HUGE and THIS HEAVY according to my wife. I really pity her as she walks. She is only a little over 5'4" but to carry all that weight in her small frame...man...must be tough!!!
Occasionally, the little girl would love to remind her dearest mommy that she is there by giving her a good kick or a good punch....OUUUCCHHHHH!!!!!!
But all these, she can endured though tough and painful as it might sound....
It's the itchiness that is driving her insane and up the wall. She itches everywhere nowadays and it is getting from bad to worse. The more she scratches them, the itchier it became...Yeah, yeah...we know...we are not supposed to scratch them...and believe me, she tried to refrain from doing it and it ain't easy...
The itchiness is keeping her from sleeping properly. She was advised to take Piriton which she did only when she couldn't really stand the itchiness. It does help but only for a short 4 hours and it will knock her off...It is getting so itchy that she has resorted to use hot towel to wipe the spots but then again, several websites advised against it...
So, what do we do??? She is getting desperate and I'm getting frustrated that there is not a single thing that I could do to help except to watch helplessly.
Yes..many have told us that it will go away once the baby arrives but then again, she has not and we have no idea when...so how???? Any good advice or tips????

My SIL encounter this and it was a very horrible experience. She just take medication and cream.
Another friend of mine encounter similar problem in her pregnancy badly, until problem appear even at her private area. She then found out Lampe Berger aromatheraphy helped and she strongly recommended it.
Sorry, I cannot recommend any help. But if u are a LB user,i can try ask her how she mixes the oil.
Oh my that must be hard for her.. I didn't felt the itch during my pregnancy recently.. but facing different difficulties tho'..
I hope 'chinnee' will come out with a solution.. I only can hope and pray your wife will deliver soon so all that will ended..
Hope your wife will have a smooth delivery...
oh dear.. I had my itch during my pregnancy due the the 'expansion' of the tummy... but doctor advised to put some lotion and I used Loccitanne Almond Oil to sooth it.. it might not be too late to buy a bottle to try...
I was just recollecting with my wife during her pregnancy,her weight balloned to extra 23 kgs but she said she really enjoyed every minute of it, you know why? cos she could enslave me to her heart's content..
