Could I have PUPPS?

My belly hasn't been itchy at all for quite some time but the last day or two my whole body has been rather itchy! I don't have any rashes or anything just itchy everywhere! Could PUPPS be coming on?

    Yup, definitely could.  PUPPPS starts with the itch, the rash comes a few days later.  I only had an actual rash for a few days, but still bumps everywhere and itch like crazy.  I have a severe case so I really hope you don't have it, it's awful!  If you do though, page me, I've found some things that REALLY help (I'm trying to avoid taking steroids)

    From what I know, which is not much, it's basically a rash that can start off with just itching! Like everything in pregnancy it can be really bad or not that bad at all. I was reading that it starts itching on the belly and then spreads but mine just started everywhere! 

    Maybe someone else can gives us more details cause I don't know that much! Except that I'm itchy everywhere! lol..

    OMG I have never heard of this but I have been extremely itchy lately. I wake up everynight feeling like I want to take sand paper to my body. I took benedryl and it was no help.

    Is this something I should be concerned about or call the doc about?

    I'm not sure if it's a huge deal but if mine gets worse I will probably call just to see what she recommends me doing!
