Say 'No' to Benadryl

I went to have NST cardiotocograph last sunday. The internet had used the buzzer for nine times already but the baby just had a little response to the buzz. The I told the intern that the baby was moved a lot on friday. I seldom feel his movement on Saturday and Sunday. It seems that he barely kicked once. Actually, I am a little worried that is why I went to the hospital on Sunday afternoon instead of Sunday evening or Monday evening.

Good news: the baby's heart rate was good. But, it seems like the baby was sedated. Btw, was the baby sedated? Ehem, ehem I took Benadryl for two days already. So that was the culprit.

My immunologist said I have dry skin. But, I have applied body lotion for several times a day. I was lazy to buy his recommended brand of hypoallergenic lotion. Because it is only available in our nearby mall and drug stores.

My brother and mom laughed at my story. Then, I remembered Aveeno Oatmeal Lotion which I have used during my maiden days. Thank god, Aveeno helped! No exagerration... It was fast acting.

I thought Benadryl was my silver bullet. I can hit two birds with one stone. I could stop the itch and have a good sleep. Benadryl is FDA category B. But, it can cross placenta.
