rash???

I'm 38 weeks. This morning I notice a small rash on my belly, and starting to spread more. Is this normal? I Googled it and read something about PEP and is harmless. But just seeing if anyone else has experienced it.

I think it might be cause I have little red bumps and it won't stop itching without like a handful of lotion

Thank you everyone. FTM23 From what I read there's no need to contact the doc. I plan to just show her at my next visit unless it goes away. Everything on the Web says it's just hormones weight gain and something that can occur in the 3rd trimester. But if you feel yours Is bad call. Thank you everyone for your advice non of my friends had this so I was a little worried at first

Mine is kinda both above and under my belly button! Under my belly button itches really bad at times then I put lotion on it then it's ok for a little. Should I get it checked out to be safe? 33 weeks 1 day here...

I have it also right about my belly button I asked my doctor about it last visit I thought it may have been due to that gel they use when they listen to the heart beat but she said it was from all the hormones and that it would go away soon and that it was fine

Pep will get in the crevices and will itch extremely I had it with my first pregnancy and took me to do research to have a Dr diagnose me over a weekend hoping to get meds. Good luck just soak for hrs in an oatmeal bath.
