The itching on my belly is always more intense at night- and the past few weeks have seen some very long nights with short sleep sessions in between hours of intense discomfort. The coconut oil that originally worked wonders has turned out to be not so grand and I am now sporting several rash spots on my baby bump. The thing that gets me through each long wakeful night is that this will all soon be over and I'll have a reward so precious that all these discomforts will fade in memory. I am looking forward to that more than I can express with words.
In the meantime, I try to spend the waking hours of the night bonding with sweet pea rather than focusing on the agony. It's not very easy. Last night I broke down in tears in the bath and sobbed for relief. Two hours later it finally came once I could take more Benadryl. As much as I hate taking it, it's the only thing that remotely touches it and allows my exhausted self to get some sleep.
Here's to hoping that DDay is soon so that I can lose sleep for different reasons... :)
