Woke up with a rash on my tummy...

This morning I noticed tiny, red dots on my stomach...it reminded me of sun poison (yes, in the past I've stayed out in the sun too long). It didn't bother me all day, but it seems to have spread across my tummy even to an unrelated place, my arms. And it's started to itch...not good! I looked it up and in self diagnosing, the rash seems to be Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy (PUPPP). I plan on calling my doctor tomorrow morning, but wanted to ask new preggers if anyone has experienced this too? I'm only in my 6th week and it seems this happens later on in pregnancies - usually the third trimester!! Any help, suggestions, soothing advice is much appreciated!

    No experience here, but for your sake, I hope it's not PUPPP. That would be a long, itchy 9 months. Good luck!

    Me too!!  I thought PUPP didn't hit until further along.  

    Did you recently switch laundry detergents?  Fabric softeners?  Wear new clothing without washing it first?

    I would caution you against "self diagnosing" too much and see what your doctor has to say. Hopefully it is just a weird rash, maybe to something environmental, that will go away.

    Didn't think about it, but I did change soaps a few weeks ago. Thing is, I never had a reaction until yesterday. Thinking that may be it! I'll change back and see if that's it. Oh, the perks of pregnancy!
