[NiceGirl18]

I'm almost 8 months pregnant and recently been breaking out in bug bites or a rash. I'm not sure because i have a couple bumps on my feet, my legs, and on my arms just randomly all over and there very  itchy. I don't know what its from it just suddenly  happened.

I think I have PUPPP too. I showed my doc the rash and he said he didnt think it was pregnancy related however it has spread a lot more since I saw him last and after looking at pics online, I really think I have it. I started developing this rash on my leg in the knee crease and has since spread to the backs of my arms, all around my thighs, bum and underwear line...it is ridiculously itchy.

I was thinking it could be PUPPP too. I am 31 weeks and since 30 weeks I have broken out in the PUPPP rash which was confirmed by my doctor. I had it my last pregnancy as well and it is horrible. Its a rash that usually starts on your tummy and then spreads all over your body. It is extremely itchy and there is nothing that works (for more than 5 minutes) to relieve it. If it is PUPPP it isn't dangerous to you or the baby but it wont go away until a couple days to weeks after delivery. I would have a doctor check it out though just to make sure.

Maybe it is PUPPP (Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy). Do a google search and look at some of the pics that come up and see if they are similar. I had that at the end of my pregnancy and started also during the 8th month.

Go to your doctor and get it checked out, perhaps you can get a very very mild cortisone lotion for it.

I rang my docs to ask what to do about my bites, and she told me to go in today so I got my apt in an hour.
Its best to get it checked out :)

There are some conditions that can pop up in late pregnancy that cause rashes/itching, you should definately have your doc check it out.  Just to be certain!

I am only 17 weeks PG, Although mine are flea bites, the best thing to do is go to your docs and get it checked out.. I need to go the docs.
With any rash or bites, its always best to get them checked out, and they will be able to tell you defo what happened and will be able to perscribe cream or something like that that's safe to use whilst pregnant :)
