I Just talked to my ob and she gave me a prescription to stop the itching and burning. thank goodness!

I had PUPPPs... Use pine tar soap! It's the only thing that helped me. I also used coconut oil to moisturize and help with the itch. Good luck, I'm sorry, I know it's miserable!

I had it too! Mine started around 28 weeks. It started on my upper thighs, then my lower stomach. I swore it was pupps bc I had all the symptoms but the np said it wasn't. I went in 3 different times and they finally prescribed me steroids to take. It went away but I was so miserable. I couldn't wear clothes bc I would breakout into bumps and itch until I bled. I took cold showers with grandpas pine tar soap and tried benedryl cream nothing helped except the steroids. Hope you find relief!

at my appointment last week it was 130/80 I think. it's probably higher now :/ I had a hormonal break down last night. was bawling my eyes out cuz I wanted our Baby Girl to be here. Dh didn't know what to do but just let me lay on him and cry. afterwards I felt kinda dumb... :/ lol

How's your blood pressure?

thanks ladies! I'm glad I have an idea now of what it could be. I was really freaking out and worried something was wrong with me.

@thismakessix.. that sucks :/ how long did u have it for??

I called my OB office and they are supposed to get back with me.

my Husband has eczema, so we have all kinds of healing and moisturizing stuff. and I have tried everything we have in this house. I did a Luke warm shower (I can't try a bath bcuz our plug is one that down inside the drain and its busted, and our landlord is taking his sweet time getting someone to fix it). I've used neosporin, aquaphore (sp?), eucerin healing body lotion, and waayy to many others to name.

it just sucks cuz I haven't felt to bad my whole pregnancy. just some sciatica.

but since Thursday I've had the itchy bumps, my back and hips have been absolutely killing me, my neck is always hurting, and I've always got a headache. I've been getting killer leg cramps and my hands and feet are starting to swell. and my stomach feels like it's going to explode if it stretches anymore. and it seems like it all started at the same time. and boy I am so over it. lol

sorry for the rant :/ it feels good to vent. lol

I developed PUPPS at two weeks post partum and it SUCKED! None of the Dr's in my practice had ever seen it post partum. Oatmeal baths soothed it some but nothing really made the itchiness stop. I had the rash from chest to knees :(

I had it with my daughter and nightly I covered myself in neosporin. That it itching and pain was horrible. So sorry! Just hang in there

I had PUPPS and I think it was the worst part of my pregnancy. I would scratch until I bled. I had to be put on a steroid cream. Mine kicked in around 30 weeks so I had 9 weeks of hell. I really hope you just have an irritation that goes away! :-)

that's ok :) at least I have an idea of what it might be. I'll try what you suggested. thank you :)

though, I am thankful that I haven't had it my whole pregnancy. and that it just started now.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I didn't have it, but a friend did. It sounds miserable. You could try goat milk soap. It helped a little bit for her. I used Eucerin calming cream, personally, but I don't know how well it'll help you. Good luck!

crap. I just looked that up. I'd never heard of it. it does sound like that :/ I hate it! now I really hope (even more) she comes a little early.

Sounds like PUPPS. Ouch. You're almost there! You just have to make it a few more weeks and it'll go away.
