QuestionI'm 32 and delivered my first child 7 weeks ago. One month after delivery, I got a itch. It started slowly, but grew worse and worse. It's usually on my arms and legs and hands and feet, and happens when I'm in bed. I've changed my sheets a dozen times, and switched to 100% cotton sheets, and vaccumed the room, etc. but nothing seems to help.
I'm having oral steroids from my doctor, but the itch is not going away. In your expereince, is it normal to have an itch post partum? What can I do?
Thanks in advance!
Answer Itching can be caused by so many things, stress, allergies, anxiety, just to name a few.
I really could not tell you what is causing it, I have not heard of it as a "normal" post partum accurance.
Good luck and congrats on the new little one.
P.S. Maybe it is something you are using on your baby that you had not been around before, baby wipes for instance.
