  • I've never had it, but God bless you! I can't even imagine. I pray that your doc can give you something to make you comfortable. Good luck.
  • @BabyKixAlot thank you. It's not suposed to show up in a third pregnancy but sounds like that's what it is. Also said most common after 35 wks and I'm only 30wks 1 day! Seriously don't know how I can deal until he's born..its awful! I feel bad for anyone else who has/had it!!

  • @mnbaby3 i had it during my first pregnancy, it was the most horrible experience, since I also had preeclamsia. I knew it was the PUPPS but my dr said it was just my skin stretching, the day after my appt it started to spread all over my body, it was super itchy. They started to give me steroids and some cream to help with the itchyness, sadly PUPPS doesnt go away till you have the baby. After my emergency c-section I had it for 2 weeks and then it went away. Luckily I havent had it at all during this pregnancy. Is it already spreading through your body?
  • I've had a rash for days and finally going in tomorrow to have dr look at it. It's making me miserable. Hope both of us get relief. It's been so frustrating and miserable. Hope you feel better soon. As my BFF keeps telling me-DONT SCRATCH! Haha! Wish it was that easy to stop!
  • I got it with my first pregnancy at about 35 weeks and it was the most miserable thing I ever experienced. I had a rash that covered my body from the neck down. It itched worse than anything describable. Absolutely no relief and I tried everything. It was amazing though that within hours of having the baby it went completely away. Sorry!!! Hang in there.
  • @Mommy2Isaiah&;Giselle been trying the cream it isn't doing much. Thanks I hope to feel better too..not sure if I can take another 10wks of it!
    @SemperFiwife it really is awful ugh! it's only on my stomach for now *knock on wood* I was so hoping you would say it went away right after delivery...I'm sorry you had to deal with it cuz it sucks!
    @cicelia I hope we get relief too! Praying that they can give something that will help! Its super frustrating and SO hard not to scratch!! I read something that says scratching can make it spread so I'm doing my best not to touch it! Ahhh
    @scarlyhope ugh not liking the no relief part...10wks is beyond thinking about dealing with this with no relief! The itching really is beyond anything you can describe...I'm losing hope that it could be something else..ugh guess I'll find out tomorrow for sure .
  • Ugh I was so hoping someone would have something that would help! So depressing..now I just can't wait until he's born..makes me sad cuz I was enjoying being pregnant until this happened :-(
