  Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that!  I thought I had it last time but it ended up just being a horrid case of poison ivy.  Since my skin was so sensitive it had gotten so bad that it was spreading through my blood.  Hoping for a fast 16 weeks for you!

  Oh man I'm sorry to hear that, I to thought I had it last time as I was pregnant through the summer, but it was just heat rash around my bra line and top of my belly and we live in Central Florida. It was super hot!

  PUPPS generally can spread to everywhere...but your face. It's an itchy rash that starts on your belly, usually around stretch marks, and can then spread. There is no cure for it, other than to deliver the baby...so you just have to find treatments to reduce the itching. Boo!

  I am so sorry you have that, especially so early in your pregnancy.  I had it for about 6 weeks and it was (I am sorry to say) HELL.  Hydrocortizone cream helps a lot (they can give you a perscription strength) and it's doesn't go away right after the delivery...it took about 10 days for it to totally disappear. Aveeno oatmeal baths were helpful, cool cloths, and at one point I was allowed to take a little benedryl.  Good luck!  The good news is that it won't happen with you second pregnancy!
