Horrible Itchy rash on my baby bump?

charlotte8 · Jul 29th, 2009, 15:22 PM

Hi Girls

Over the last 2 days I seem to have developed a pimpaly rash on my tummy. Its itching like made and has got worse today and more red. I have spoken to my midwife and she says it sounds like a normal pregnancy rash but if i get any other symptoms to call her again. Im still a little concerned though. Ive been told it looks like a measles rash but it isnt measles it is only on my tummy and no where else.
anyone help?

PUPPPS.
This is a very common rash with pregnant women, it normally occurs in first pregnancies in the third trimester. It consists of small, red bumps. It can spread to thighs, butt, breasts, and arms. Its extremely itchy but not dangerous.

Here is a couple pictures of someone with PUPPPS.

Hi,

I have PUPPS at the moment but not the bumpy rash just the itching!

Go to your doctors and they should give you a topical cream and/or antihistamine tablets to take. I have both and so far so good.

Good Luck

I got something liek that but it wasnt pupps i think everyone automatically links any rash to that while pregnant mine was a raised rash itchy and kinda a circle maybe ring worm well never know but my doc gave me a prescription cream and now its almost gone.

Uhh no...What she explained sounded like PUPPPS to me...(pimply...itchy bumps). Sorry. Either way, get it checked out, they should be able to give you a cream for it. Feel better.:]
