I'm sooo glad I've never had chicken pox but now with this pregnancy rash, it's basically like chicken pox to me. Its sooo terrible and it's spreading more and more every day! :( currently I have it on my tummy, arms, legs, thighs, shoulders, a little on my back and under my butt. Sooo yeah... basically EVERYWHERE! and more and more bumps keep appearing by day :( this is the worst thing ever. I'm so itchy and it wakes me up multiple times throughout the night... last night I probably got a total of like MAYBE 3 hours of sleep :( idk how I'm gonna do this for 6 more weeks especially since it just keeps getting worse :( I already called off work yesterday bcuz of how bad it was... I'm like POSITIVE that what I have is PUPPS (Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP), known in United Kingdom as polymorphic eruption of pregnancy (PEP), is a chronic hives-like rash that strikes some women during pregnancy.) but I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to get the results from my blood test, so we shall see. Pray for me guys, I really need it cuz I am miserable! :( now im gonna try to refrain from itching for a little bit so i can get a little more sleep. Nighty night

@misskass20, Does your rash come and go? Mine cleared up during the day yesterday, but came back overnight... hard to sleep.
@sam.g, yeah I heard about that soap I might try it
I'm ordering some today. Hopefully we can find relief!
I am a ftm, 19w having a boy. I've read that Pine Tar Soap helps.
@misskass20, I took Benadryl several nights in a row. I made sure to take cooler showers and to stay cool. Didn't wear anything fitting. Kept it dry. My doctor said it comes and goes a lot of times. Thankfully it hasn't come back .. Yet.
How did u get it to go down!?!?!? @candacelouise
@misskass20, aw man, yeah I got it at 28 weeks I'm a FTM and to a boy... But thankfully mine was only my stomach and chest and I got it to go down and actually hasn't been back for several weeks
I tried that too, @ashleyandadan it works a little bit but a lot of the time I will have the ice pack laying on the area and I will lift it up to itch. it sucks lol
try ice packs so that way it doesn't itch that much on the areas
@kayla7274, yeah my Dr told me that if I do have it there's not much they can do bcuz the cream they can prescribe apparently doesn't help much. but that it normally takes about a week or 2 after the baby is born and it would be gone. it sucks soo bad I just wanna feel comfortable in my own skin again and not trying to scratch it off lol
@sam.g, I've had the rash for probably about 2 weeks I think. it normally appears in the 3rd trimester and normally with woman who are having boys. and no it doesn't have to necessarily be accompanied by stretch marks bcuz I have it on my arms and stuff and there's not stretch marks there... but my rash started on my belly in my stretch marks which is pretty common.
@candacelouise, I try taking benadryl but sadly it does Nothing for me :/
I had 2 friends that had PUPPS and their doctors said there's nothing they can do about it. but it'll go away after baby is born. and it usually only happens to women pregnant with boys
How early did it start? I am 19w, woke up with rash along my back and hips. Does it have to be accompanied by stretch marks? I don't have any (yet).
@misskass20, try taking Benadryl nightly! And if you can take it during the day so that too. It helped with mine a lot!!!
