2nd Trimester

Pregnancy related rash???

I am 15 wks with my 3rd child... I had a rash with my son (preg #2) but this is way different and they never figured out what it was other than a rash that just came with the pregnancy.  Now, this rash I have now is nothing like the last rash, the last rash was itchy and kinda looked like poison oak or something, this rash is welts, all over my arms and legs and seems to only be getting worse.  I have been to my Dr and they said they think it's just another pregnancy related rash... they of course are doing blood work to make sure nothing is wrong with me or the baby.  My Dr's and nurses are curious to find out what the gender of my baby is because they seem to think this rash is more common with boys.  Even a few nurses in my Dr's office have had a rash that was similar and they had boys, so I guess my Dr's office is having their own little research study.

Re: Pregnancy related rash???

  • I've had that rash off and on all pregnancy! My dr wasn't worried at all either. They looked like huge welts all over my thighs and under my forearms mostly! They didn't mention it being linked to having a boy though! That is interesting! But mine seems super alarming to me too. But as I said, dr seemed unphased. All bloodwork came out fine too!

    Hope yours go away soon!

  • kinda sounds alittle like Pupps, A girl I work with had it.....it was similar to what you are explaining and she said she was always itchy and felt horrible in her own skin. Her doctor gave her some cream to use on it. (BTW- she had a boy) Hope this helps and sorry you are going through it. GL!
