Rash on Tummy

[Moo]

I keep getting rashes periodically appear at various places around my tummy. They come and go and appear in no one particular place on my tummy. They sometimes itch a bit and seem to go of their own accord, after only a few hours sometimes. Anyone else experienced this? I'm seeing my midwife on Weds so will ask her about this.

Could it be heat rash or exma??? .... or have you changed your washing powder recently???

I've been told to use non-bio washing powder since i've been pregnant ... apparently your skin is extreamly sensitive

Hiya Moo,

I found this website about rashes -

Hopefully it'll have some answers for you but def. ask your midwife about it just incase its something nasty.

are you maybe using a new moisturiser or something to stop stretchmarks? i know my bump got a bit spotty when i was using bio oil and it itched quite a bit since i stopped using it im all clear xxx

I developed a rash at about 12 weeks... just red marks [not itchy] on abdomen, boobs and a few on tops of thighs... m/w just said hormonal changes can cause them etc but now having read that article I am very concerned!

Don't think I have changed any lotions / soaps etc - seeing m/w and obstetrician next week so will make sure they take a proper look and hopefully give me some proper advice

So many things to worry about.. I just thought it was hormonal.. could be quite serious if one of those listed on that link...
