itching after cesarean section

Mar 11, 200719 yr

Hi everyone,

I have a question about I had yesterday. She had a c-section and she was complaining of pruritus all over the body. She had an epidural block for the gurgery and morphine for analgesia. I am wondering why is that? Is tis because she was on morphine? :uhoh3:

thanx

We use benadryl for that pesky itching, but our lactation guru says to be careful using it with breastfeeding moms. She only suggests one or two doses, because long term use can effect milk production.
