bumpy rash on legs?

Okay, so for the past three days I have had this bumpy rash on my lower legs. At first I thought I had bug bites, but every morning I wake up with more. They look almost like pimples, they have little clear liquid pustules at the end and they turn into scabs after a day or so. GROSS! I know:) lol.

Do you think they are pregnancy related? I am only 4 weeks along!

    You never know what's pregnancy related.  I know someone who got shingles when they got pregnant because of the lowered immune system, even if shingles itself isn't pregnancy related. 

    Go to your GP and have them look at it. 

     ETA: I'm not trying to suggest you possibly have shingles, just saying a rash could be "pregnancy related" without actually being a reaction to hormones, etc. :)

    I've had the same thing (minus the pustules)! They itch like crazy! I thought maybe it was from the prenatal vitamins or something...

    I had the same thing for like the first 7 weeks I was pregnant.  It was on my upper legs and drove me nuts.  Nothing seemed to help at all (lotion, cortisone cream,etc)  It seems to have vanished somewhere around the 8/9 week i guess since i don't notice it anymore.  I always thought maybe my skin was being extra sensitive especially after shaving....  Good luck.
