Hives

Oh My! I was laying on the couch last night when I started to itch my legs. I was doing it without any thought at first, when I then realized that something was wrong. I go into the bathroom only to see my entire legs broken out in what seemed to be hives!!! The hubs wasnt home so I called him first (which didnt really do any help - haha) so I called my mother next. She went on the internet and found out that hive can be related to pregnancy. She told me to put a cold/wet compress on the area, so I did and after a little while it started to calm down a bit.

In the meantime I called the nurse on call at my infertility office. She told me that it could be from the progesterone, take a bene.dryll and call my nurse in the morning. I was reading online that Bene.dryll isnt really good for you during your first trimester - so I decided against it, even though the nurse told me to. I had Jay run out to get bene.dryll cream instead, but I never used that either. After a few hours it was gone completely. Its still not back again today - luckily - so I wonder what the hell that was all about?!?!

My dad was cute. He told me that it was a good sign, that my body was adapting to the pregnancy and my hormones are rapidly changing (which could be the cause). Whether he is right or not he still made me smile :)

I am still a little shocked that the nurse told me I could take Benedryll...I would have never thought that was okay. And I kinda still don't - at least not in the first tri.
