Pupps?

Has anyone ever had this? I was told it can occur during the second trimester and what did you use to help the burning, itching sensation?

I had it with my first son it is horrible I feel for ya! Like pregnancy isn't uncomfortable enough! I used stuff called nature's aid it's kind of like a gel from the health store and also showered with soap called pine tar soap also from the health store and it helped alot! Mine actually cleared up before I delivered my son

Aww dang girl I hope it clears up for you before you deliver cuz that is the only thing that made mine go away, and that is a long time to deal with that nasty rash! The reason I asked if it's your first and if it's a boy is because I read something like 70% of women that get it are ftm's pregnant with boys. It is possible with a girl tho, obviously right? If the bag balm doesn't work tho then try calamine lotion. It's made specifically for itchy skin. Good luck to you girl and know that I feel for you. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!

How far along are you? Is it your first baby and is it a boy? I got it when I was 35 weeks with my son 6 yrs ago. Omg it was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever experienced! I am so sorry you got it. Try calamine lotion. You can get it at the grocery store. Benedryl itch stopping cream you can try also but get the ok from your doc on that one first. Unfortunately everything I tried just didn't help tho. I just had to wait it out until after my son was born. :(
