Puppp

[TORino]

Does anyone have/had this?

My belly is really really itchy and has been for a few days now. It's in my stretchmarks underneath the bump and OH told me they look like there are little spots in them and a rash.

So I've googled and self diagnosed myself with the PUPPP thing

I'm going to go to the docs about it I think because it's driving me mad.

Hey hun,

I had it and I feel for you because it was unbearable! I initially had it on my tummy where my stretchmarks were/still are lol, then my thighs (again on stretchmarks), then it spread to my ankles, legs and hands.

Here was my thread http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/third-trimester/226120-inflamed-stretchmarks.html

I had my lo on 13 Jan and still get itching but not inflammed.

PS Def get it checked as they can rule out OC. You'll prob get given anti hestamines and creams.x

I think it's a liver thing... I came across it when I was looking up my own boob rash the other day. Apparently you can get spots as a symptom of this quite serious complication. Olive's quite right that you need to rule that out xx

there's also a sticky in tri 3 on it under the bump pics thread.

Hope it clears up soon. Xx
