Has has PUPP or PEP?...

I feel like I have it... I've had this rash for almost 2 weeks its super itchy I got it around 36-37w it started in my stretch marks on my tummy n they look horrible! But they're like blisters... thank God its only on my tummy but I just can't stop itching its driving me insane!!

FTM here and I'm also having a little boy! Anyone else experience this? I read it only happens to FTMs who have boys and woman who are having twins or triplets...

That's the short n simple way to put them.. its just a rash you get they're like pumps/blister like zit sized that appear in your stretch marks at first on your belly around your belly button and can spread all over your body except your face!... basically any where you get stretch marks... they are extremely itching and appear around 35w usually disappear a week b4 you deliver your baby(s) sometimes but not commonly can still be there after birth...
