PUPPP

Hello ladies,
I'm 36 Weeks and 5 days. I'm pregnant with my first baby (boy). I'm also currently suffering from a condition called PUPPP which is a rash that covers my entire body. It affects 1 in every 240 women that are carrying a boy. It's a tortuous rash that itches like crazy!!! My entire body is covered and I can't take it anymore. What  are some good ways to get labor going??? My baby will be full term i'm a few days. He's in great health according to my doctor, but i'm almost sure he won't induce me just bec of my condition. Please don't judge me. This is the ONLY cute there is to this rash. Take a minute to google this condition. Thanks.

I lost my plug at 36 weeks and been loosing more since (38 weeks now)!! Im more than ready to evict this baby too!! Its hard enough being this far along without any conditions like yours. Have you spoke to your doctor maybe they'l get things going abit closer to your due date!

I've started to lose, my mucus plug. Well I've had mucous-y discharge. I'm more then ready to have this baby. Thanks for understanding! It's definitely not a good way to spend your last few Weeks of pregnancy. I don't wish this upon anybody!

That is a really awful condition to have! So I can understand why you want your baby here but unless your baby or yourself is at risk there's no real way to start labour. You could try all the usual stuff like walking, birthing ball, sex etc but unless your body and baby is ready nothing will work.
