I had the itch and rash end of 2nd trimester.... so annoying. I had steriod treatment for other health issues n it made mine go away. I think they can give steriod cream to help tho

I've been madly itchy, but not on my stomach at all...just everywhere else. Doesn't look like puppp for me due to that, but I have scratched my legs til they bleed. I use lotion every day so dunno why it's so bad. I know the air is getting drier with fall but dang.

This could be caused by a condition called polymorphic eruption of pregnancy (PEP). It's a common cause of itching with a rash, which usually appears in the final trimester. PEP is not dangerous for your or your baby, and it should go away soon after your baby is born.  This is what doctor said I had he gave me some cream which eases the itch but hasn't stopped it x

37 weeks pregnant, terrible horrible itching I want to cry every minute everyday! It's so bad I'm starting to get bumps/rash. I did some research today and I think I have PUPPP, my itchiness on a scale is probably 8, it hurts sooooooooooo bad! I'm bringing it up to my doctor next visit.

You should tell your OB about it too If it's that painful. I also read that "grandpa's pine tar soap" really helps, find it at walgreens or Walmart.

Hope you get better, trust me I feel your pain! :(
