Calamine lotion helped a bit, but unfortunately, it just takes time to pass. I'm sorry. I hope you feel better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shingles-and-pregnancy#post-2813645 Mon, 02 Apr 2018 12:33:52 +0000 littleblessings 2813645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennlin821: I wish it was mild. :sad: I have an ultrasound a week from Friday. I’m terrified. It’s all over my right side from belly button to spine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shingles-and-pregnancy#post-2812900 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 14:52:10 +0000 jennlin821 2812900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandmother had shingles several years ago.<br /> She swore by cool oatmeal baths and calamine lotion. I think the also put a paste of baking soda/power(??) on her legs at night before going to sleep. </p> <p>I would think these would all be safe for pregnancy, but I would double check with your ob. </p> <p>I'm so sorry mama, I hope you only have a mild case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shingles-and-pregnancy#post-2812843 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 13:02:21 +0000 littleblessings 2812843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright so I’m almost 11 weeks pregnant and was diagnosed with Shingles last night. They put me on an anti viral but the rash is sooooo painful. Can anyone give me some pregnancy safe ideas to soothe the pain and burning? </p>
