Rash on skin okay?

So I'm at work and all of a sudden my skin started to feel real itchy. I just lifted up my shirt and I have red spots all over my belly. I have no idea what they are since they aren't raised it just an itchy skin discoloration. Is this normal?

Great just what I wanted... more problems during this pregnancy. I guess I'll call the after hours number for my doctor. It just makes me feel bad to bug him all the time. But thank you so much for your help I really do appreciate it! :)

I also saw some boards on another site where many women were talking about the same thing.  A mysterious rash that developed later in pregnancy- PUPP they were calling it.  Maybe some internet research on that will give you some peace of mind or help you decide what to do with it.

It does seem a little unusual.  Do you have a nurse help line or anything you could call to see if it would be advisable to take benadryl?  I don't know what would be wrong, but I would keep an eye on it like I say.  You don't have a fever or anything?

Nope nothing... I'm thinking maybe it could be from stress... but I'm not sure I'm really stressed out. Maybe a little but not a lot. I'm just worried that something is wrong. :(

Did you have anything different today, food, change in laundry detergent, lotion etc?

Well the thing is that I am worried that maybe it is an allergic reaction since it does it... and I haven't ever had this coloration thing going on before.

As long as you have ruled out that they are not related to any sort of allergic reaction, its possible that it is just from your belly growing and the skin stretching.  I would pay attention to it and make sure it does not spread and that you have no other symptoms such as a fever associated.
