So much itching and eczema, anyone else?

Hi ladies,
Just a quick question;
I'm now 35 weeks pregnant and have had a rash on my face since the beginning of my pregnancy. I'm quite familiar with eczema. It turned out to be an infection caused by my hormone cream. It couldn't be treated, but luckily it came under control with the dermatologist.
Now, for the past few weeks, I've also been experiencing a lot of itching on my hands. Especially my fingers, it's terrible. My doctor wants me to get my blood checked just to be safe. Probably just eczema, but for peace of mind.
Has anyone else had skin issues or had them before, and what did you do about it? I'm just curious!

    Hi Joy,

    With my first pregnancy, I didn’t have any itching, but with my second I did. Mostly on my legs and back. I didn’t have eczema, just a lot of itching. I didn’t have any tests done for it either. The midwife said it was hormonal. It went away on its own. Luckily it’s about to end for you, but itching is really annoying. Are you feeling okay otherwise? Is this your first pregnancy?

    Best, Anita

    Yeah, those hormones are really annoying haha. I hope you can get through the last few weeks with less itching.

    My oldest is 3.5 years old and the youngest is 6 months old.

    Good luck with the last few weeks, girl.

    Greetings, Anita

    Hi Anita,
    Thank you! You have such cute kids

    Unfortunately, there's a lot of itching again. I'll have a blood test tomorrow. If nothing has come up, I'll go see the dermatologist anyway. The baby could come in a week, but it could also take another 5 weeks

    Best, Joy
