blisters-has this happened to anyone?

So I recently discovered I am pregnant (about 6 weeks) and I have all of these blisteres popping up. On sunday there were two on my breasts and I woke up this morning with one on my neck, my shoulder blade, and just under my breast. They slightly bother me and have a little bit of an itch to them. I've looked up the symptomes of something serious but a lot of those symptoms come with being pregnant as well. Such as fatigue. I sleep in the same bed as my husband though and he doesnt have a single blister. Could this just be a symptom of my new pregnancy?

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and about a month ago, my arms broke out in these nasty blisters/acne bumps. My sister gets the same type on her chest and arms. She has PCOS worse than I do and hers is caused by hormones.

Check with your doctor at your next appointment.

I had something that sounds like this in my first pregnancy, it was called PUPS....I can't remember what that stands for...but it is kind of like hives, really itchy and bumpy. It's not totaly uncommon in pregnancy. Mine was treated with a topical cream, it helped, but it didn't go away until ater I delivered. hope that helped.

had the same thing happen to me at the same time during pregnancy. I saw my regular dr and he thought it was scabies and sent me to a dermatologist who said it was bed bugs (because these itchy spots looked like bites but my husband didnt have them either!) We searched the house up and down and nothing came of it. I saw a 2nd derm and she said its either pregnancy rash or an allergic reaction to the progesterone supplement i had taken. With my last pregnancy following that I took a suppository form of the drug instead and didnt get a rash. its still unemplainable but i am guessing mine was from the coating in that pill. good luck!
