i have been plagued with hives for more than three months already. there is nothing more annoying than getting an itch, scratching it and having the spot you just scratched look like bubble wrap five minutes later. before i found out that i was pregnant i had been taking oral antihistamines, from zyrtec (which was available over the counter in australia) to benadryl allergy tablets. i also tried using anti-itch creams. and even though i had no muscle pains of any sort, i used bengay just for the heat.
since i’m now pregnant i can’t really take a lot of medicines, so this afternoon butch and i were on a mission to find something that would help me with my hives and be safe enough for my condition. so far benadryl itch relief spray has been a godsend 
whenever i took oral antihistamines i noticed that i was still really sleepy when i woke up in the mornings, but now i’m not so sure if it was the medicine or just me being pregnant hehe
