My wife has real bad Prurigo of Pregnancy. I hate to see her in so much agony with the itch. Nothing the doctors have given us has made any difference. It actually seems to make it worse. I hate to say it but these military doctors seem inept sometimes and it would not supprise me if they had no clue what they were talking about.

SARNA is an itch relief lotion that doesn't have steroids in it.
It's okay for pregnant ladies to take BENADRYL, my parents are doctors and said it was safe. My OB/gyn said its safe so go get her some Benadryl and Sarna lotion.
Eucerin anti itch calming cream is also very good. She has to stop taking hot showers, use coolest water possible. Stop using soaps, lotions, or laundry products that have scent and dye.
Here's the list of stuff you need to get:
Laundry detergent:All Free Clear has no dye and no perfume
Fabric Softener: Downy makes unscented/no dye liquid
Bath Soap: Dove unscented bar soap
Itch stopping pills: Benadryl
Itch lotions: SARNA and Eucerin
Best of luck to you all.

I had the same problem...I used Benedryl and Eucerin Calming Creme lotion. It worked really well for me.
I also used Dreft or All free detergent and wore all cotton garments.

maybe benedryl would help, and is usually safe for women who are pregnant.
Good Luck!
