PUPPS?
tdawntaylor posted:
Anyone have any issues with this?
Since about Sunday my belly has been incredibly itchy and getting worse. I can't really see the bottom of it, but I stood in the mirror yesterday and noticed that I have a rash spreading across the bottom, and the itching is getting worse. Called my OB, waiting for a call back, but wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

With my first I had a REALLY itchy stomach with a slight rash. I did get it checked out by my OB and they just said that it was quite common and that it was not Pupps. I don't remember exactly why isn't wasn't that or how she could tell, but either way I had to suffer through the rest of my pregnancy extremely itchy and sore, it sucked. I haven't had any problems this time around, part of me thinks that it could have been that with my first I was pregnant during the summer, so maybe it was heat related, whereas this time it is winter. Do you find yourself feeling very hot a lot?

I had PUPPS with my first pregnancy. Got them about 4days before I was to be induced (my baby was 12 days overdue) so I didnt have to suffer through it very long! They start at your stomach and tiny bumps can spread to your thighs and legs and I had them all over my chest and upper arms. It was agony! There's nothing they can do for it, so I just soaked in oatmeal baths all day! They go away as soon as the baby comes--well, my didnt go away till about 2 days pp, but they werent as itchy as they had been before giving birth. Just try not to itch--you can really scar up your stomach by itching like a mad woman!

I am hot a lot, and we do live in the south where it has been nearly 80 for the last week or so.
My OBs office did call back, she said use some cortizone cream on it and try not to let my clothes touch it. I wanted to remind her my belly is the size of a watermelon, there's no way for my clothes to not touch it!
I figured out a few weeks ago how to make infant sleepers with the little hand covers to keep them from scratching...maybe I could figure out how to add them to all my shirts so I don't tear my stomach all up!

Definitely PUPPP, and definitely miserable.
It has spread all across my stomach, down past my knees, and over my forearms. Spreading to my armpits and back as well.
OB said there really isn't anything they can do, so I'm heading to the store to pick up every home remedy I've heard might possibly work. I've been living with it for two weeks, so hopefully four more won't kill me.
It's just really depressing me
