I just found out Im pregnant, and I've been using KZ soap for a skin infection. Is it okay to keep using it, or is there another soap that's safer during pregnancy?

Question

Why have I started experiencing really bad menstrual cramps when my flow seems normal and there's nothing obviously wrong with my body? It's weird because I never had cramps before, and none of the other women in my family, except one aunt, have dealt with this kind of pain. I've had various infections in the past like small intestinal and urinal infections, but those were two years ago, so I'm not sure if there's any connection. It's frustrating because I've seen multiple doctors, and they haven't been able to pinpoint the cause of my problem. Could there be a link between my past infections and these cramps?

Question

I'm 8 months pregnant and I'm really struggling with severe itching and a rash all over my body, especially at night. It's gotten so bad I can't sleep. I did a liver function test and my alkaline phosphatase level is 170 IUL. My doctor has prescribed me Udiliv 300mg to take twice a day. Do you think this will help with the itching? If it will, how long might it take before I can finally get some restful sleep? I'm really hoping for some relief soon.
