Hello Lesley, You poor thing, I had this from 28 weeks so know just how you feel. I was covered from head to toe and my only relief was to cover myself in diprobase and stand in front of a fan! I would sleep with just a sheet and use cream though out the night, baths where a big no no. In the end the itching got too much (I was scratching until I bleed) and I was put onto a dose of oral steroids. It was a small daily dose and I slowly weaned myself (as told by doctor) to the least amount possible while still keeping the itching under control. I was worried about the baby being big due to the steroids he was 9lb6 which although on the large size is not massive! As soon as my baby was born the itching stopped and it didnt come back with my second (although my second was a girl and my first a boy and PUPPS in more common when you are carrying a boy). I read somewhere (on a US site I think) that tar soap can help although I never tried. I really really really feel for you and hope that you find something that will easy the itching. xx
