Rash as an early pregnancy symptom?

[mandspice]

Hi girls. I've not made it here just yet but just wanted to ask a question - I'm around 9DPO and have had strange rash on my "trunk"(!) since Saturday - it's on my stomach and back, very faint red blotches, not too much coverage, not itchy.....has anyone experienced similar as a symptom of pregnancy..? Thanks

Not experienced anything like that but your hormones are going crazy right now so it could be that - I know your skin can change dramatically in pregnancy

Hiya just come across this while reading my book, and if your red spots/blotches go white when you press them, then they are "spider angiomas" - tiny red spots, which can suddenly appear anywhere on your body. They are concentrations of blood vessels caused by the high levels of oestrogen in your body.

Hope this helps

Hiya,

Thanks for the info! The rash has gone now but I'm still waiting on AF so fingers crossed.....you'll all be the first to know if I make it in here! xx
