anyone else get random rashes??

Ok so I just got out of the shower, and for the second day in a row, between the time I step in, and the time I get out (less than 20 min) I've broken out in an uncontrollably itchy rash from my neck to my chest and on my arms. I haven't changed anything about the soap I use or detergent used on the towels, but I do have really sensitive skin. We just moved into this house not too long ago but I cleaned the bathroom really good before we used it, could it be germs in the tub? Suggestions?

Yes, benadryl is fine. During pregnancy your skin can be a lot more sensitive than normal, and it could be your soap even though you've never had problems with it before. Try a hypoallergenic soap with no fragrance in it, there are some really good ones out there. Cetaphil and aveeno are good, and you can use aveeno calming lotion too.

I was getting really itchy rashes that would dissappear within 20 min. It was happening all day everyday for a couple weeks but has now stopped. I asked my midwife if this is common and she said no lol.
