I did a look through the tags but didn't see what I was looking for. Hoping you fabulous people can help me.

I am not small in the chest (34F last time fitted, but that was when pregnant two years ago, and between nursing for 2 years, and now being pregnant again, I"m sure that's not 100% accurate, but my 34F bra still fits well enough). I am 27 weeks pregnant, and having hot flashes from hell. Well with the hot flashes I am getting non-stop horrendous boob sweat. My boobs itch, and are miserable. It's worse if I try to wear a bra/shirt that's too tight fitting/not cotton, but even wearing a cotton sports bra with a cotton cami around the house I still want to claw my boobs off they itch so bad. It's gotten to the point that while at work I have taken to grabbing a wad of kleenex or toilet paper and shoving it down my shirt to stop my breasts from touching each other.

I do put baby powder on in the AM to try to control the sweat, and it helps for a while, but not all day.

Is there anything that can be done to calm down the boob sweat? or at least allow the constant itchy irritatedness to heal? because I am going bonkers and just want to cry they itch so bad right now.

Last night I went out to celebrate my birthday, and I got a little over zealous with the drinking. I took my birth control (Lo Loestrin FE) when I got home (which would have made it about four hours later than usual, but I figure it's not that big of a deal), but I ended up throwing up like, thirty minutes later. I wasn't able to keep anything down until this afternoon (2:00 or so) and followed the directions for missing a pill (took one as soon as I was able to). Since I'll be taking my birth control again this evening to be back on schedule, it will put me a pill short in my pack, and Lo Loestrin FE is biphasic (the last two active pills are a lower dose, followed by the two inactive pills). How should I approach this situation? I unfortunately don't have any other packs lying around that I could borrow from. Will I need to get a new pack and take the one I ended up throwing up from there at the end of the month, or should I just use a backup method around that time and forget the missing pill?

Sorry if this has been asked before. I tried looking through the tags/memories, but there were a lot, and I didn't stumble across anything helpful yet, but I'm about to be heading out the door soon. Thanks so much for any help. :)
