pregnancy rash?

this past week i have noticed small red almost like insect bites on my stomach. they itch horribly and its rather annoying walking around scratching my stomach constantly. i dont remember having this with my 1st child. i remember itching but it was due to the stretching of my lower stomach. this is at the top of my stomach, right below my bustline. any advice on what it is and how to deal with it?

It common to get a rash at the end of pregnancy. I've never heard of it as a sign though. If you think you are pregnant you can always try taking a test! :)

Im SO glad that i found this post, I have the same thing, only mine do not itch at all, they are just there but in the exact same place as you. Is this associated with pregnancy? because i have never had a rash that i can remember! I have been wondering the past few days if i could be pregnant because my period is all messed up, i had the rash for two weeks, been spotting pinkish discharge for the past four days, and my period was supposed to be due tomorrow. well, last night i had sex and the blood flow became a little heavier but still drastically light for my regular period ( just a little blood on a pantyliner) lol im just so confused.

My doctor said to use Benadryl cream... didn't do anything for me (because I have PUPPP) but I heard it works for most people and is perfectly safe. You could also try Caladryl lotion which helps as well. Basically just call your doctor and see what they recommend.
