Rash while pregnant?

[Kristylm]

Has anyone experienced a rash while being pregnant? When I was pregnant the first time, I got a strange, itchy rash on my stomach and arms around the 7th month and it stayed for about a month. My doctor had never seen it before, and he's been a doctor for about 30 years! Now I am 12 weeks pregnant, and the other day out of nowhere I broke out in an itchy rash all over my entire body! I have no idea what caused it as I had not used any lotions or eaten any different foods that day. I took benadryl and it was gone in the morning. Has anyone else experienced this?

It might be pupp

Hmm I've never heard of that before. I'll have to look it up.

Its a common rash that women get during pregnancy that eventually goes away. Nothing harmful.

Ok thank you!

Pupp doesn't just go away with benedryl though, especially overnight. Sometimes we just get weird rashes! I actually ended up with a weird yeast infection rash on my back! No idea how. I've never gotten any kind of rash before pregnancy now I get em once in awhile. Put some cream on it and it cleared up in a couple days. Our bodies are weird!

I had a rash when I was 18-20w and it would appear randomly. I had started taking aveeno baths, and using johnson and johnson nighttime lotion. Then taking zyrtec every morning. it helped a ton. :)
