Hello ladies
I'm 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow and on and off since week 20 or so have been suffering from 'intimate itching' of the vulva (I HATE that word!) but it's definitely been worse over the last few days. It seems to be exacerbated when I wear a panty liner but I'm reluctant to stop wearing these as I occasionally experience very light bladder control issues (the glamour of this pregnancy is amazing.. and I haven't even mentioned my fungal toe nail yet. Seriously - I bet Kate Middleton had none of these problems).
So, did anyone else experience itchy bits and how did you resolve it? I've tried applying Sudocrem which has helped a little bit and am 'airing' my downstairs at night but don't know what else to try really. I went to try and buy some Vagisil from the chemist but it's a no-go for pregnancy apparently.
The midwife is coming round tomorrow so I'll see if she has any words of wisdom too... x
