I did take the Vistaril last night. I did a lot of research about it online when we got home, and ultimately decided it was going to be ok. At first it didn’t seem to be helping, I was laying in bed crying and feeling sorry for myself for a long time. But then I finally did go to sleep and I STAYED asleep for a long time it seemed. Then when I woke up this morning the baby was moving around like usual, whereas the last couple of mornings he seemed to sleep in until past noon. So that made me happy. It also looked like there was possibly some improvement in the PUPPs, but I could be imagining it. Probably not because of the Vistaril but I assume the steroid cream could be working. It’s almost completely gone away from my stretch marks, which is where it started and I had been using the Triamcinolon 2x per day for about a week. Some of what I’ve read online though has indicated that in some cases it just spontaneously clears up on its own for no reason at all. Wouldn’t that be nice.
Anyhow, I went for a long walk today and had some contractions. Being out in the cold made me feel normal for that hour, so that was nice. Now that I’m home and showered though, the itching is back and the contractions are NOT back. Boo. I have another appointment tomorrow so we’ll see if I have made any progress.
By the way, Yes, I am officially on maternity leave – I guess maybe that wasn’t totally clear from my last post. So I think I’ll go take a nap.
