The pregnancy rash.

I'm just wondering has anyone suffered from PUPPP? It's a rash pregnant woman can develop all over their bodies, luckily it's only on my belly at this stage, im 37 weeks this week and it's the worst itch I have ever experienced and its raised and red :( they say pine tar soap helps so I will be trying it, but the only sure fire way of getting rid of it is to deliver.. i was just wondering if anyone else is a sufferer? Xx

Yes your so close! Good luck!! It usually (very cruelly) happens in the last few weeks of pregnancy (as if we dont have enough trouble already lol) and can spread to the whole body, they recommend steroids it's that bad (ones that have been proven not to cross the placenta) and some people have to get induced to get rid of it. It's horrible!
