Rash on my bump?

Aneesa_09 · Oct 11th, 2009, 10:37 AM

Hey ladies, just wondering if any of you might have a clue why? or if anyones had one? im 31 weeks and hav got a rash on my bump over the past few days, it itches now and then. Iv not long started taking iron suppliments but arent sure if thats a side effect? im a bit shy to ring the midwife just incase its nothing,

Thanks x

O yeah and sorry T-M-I, Iv started leaking too so could if be something to do with the milk production. Hmm

Could be pregnancy related urticaria or just itchy stretch marks. Try keeping the area well moisturised.

I have the same thing. Itches like mad!! I researched and think its PUPPPS--pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy. It's a pregnancy rash that is in 1% of pregnant woman. I'm thinking about running into the doc though because mine itches so bad!!!

dont use everyday moisturisers, they have perfume in them which can irritate it more, use E45 or something similar with no additives x
