I had pupps the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy and it was miserable.  To make it worse im in Florida so they heat didnt help at all. I had it on my belly legs arms feet hands.. I used hydrocortisone cream and claritan. And when I was in the hospital they gave me benadryl. It went away 1 week after birth. Thats miserable you have it so early.  I'd talk to your doctor see what else can be done

I didn't have this but my midwife thought I might. Turns out I had gallstones which caused elevated bile levels in my bloodstream, so I understand how bad the itching is! I was prescribed am anti itch pill. I wish I could remember what it was called! It was heaven sent!
