I am going to rant a bit, I hope you don't mind. I woke up this morning to notice that I have hives, AGAIN, ALL OVER my body. After I had Cosette I broke out in hives and finally broke down and went to the dermatologist because I wasn't aware that I had hives at the time. He said that it was my bodies way of reacting to not being pregnant and they could last up to 8 weeks. Umm...okay. So then comes my 6 week check up with my OB and he said it was my bodies way of reacting to the hormone change. Again...okay. So now I am at 11 1/2 weeks post-partum and I am still trying to get rid of the first round of hives and now I have them again. Do you see my frustration? I am SOO itchy. I went back to the dermatologist for a check up 2 weeks ago and he said that I wasn't moisturizing properly. Yeah, so that is just his way of saying he's not sure why I haven't gotten rid of them yet. So I am following his instructions with how exactly to moisturize and it hasn't gotten better. Now I have hives from the first time, STILL on me and a new outbreak of them. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's driving me crazy. You can only scratch so hard before you bleed. UGH!

That stinks! I hope that you get to feeling better soon. It is hard enough to just get through the day sometimes without having something like that.

We will see you Saturday!

Love,
Linds.

I feel your pain!! I never had skin problems until I got pregnant with Gabby! I had hives from being super allergic to basically everything, pretty much the whole time I was pregnant with her. Now I have exzema (however you spell that) flair up somtimes and never even had it before I had her!! My hands are also still super sensative to stuff and can have allergic reactions at any given time!! It is such a pain!! Sorry you have to deal with that! I hear it is because when we are pregnant with baby girls, they steal our beauty! ha ha!
