I am 33 weeks pregnant with my fisrt baby, a couple of weeks ago i developed a rash on my tummy,it has now spread over my boobs and arms, i went to my doctor yesterday and he told me it's alled pupp it is a rash caused in final trimester of pregnancy and apparently goes away after the baby is born, the itching is driving me CRAZY!! my doctor has given me some cram that seems to be working. I was just wondering if anyone else was suffering or had heard of this??

I have never heard of this, but I am also not close to my third trimester. But something that might help is the oatmeal bath treatment. It helped me with poison ivy. Good luck!!xx

You can also try a baking soda bath. That helps me when I get hives. Maybe Benadryl at night? Good luck!

I have never heard of this, is pupp's short for something?

Hi, I am so sorry, PUPPP is so miserable! Check out a product from Kopec Naturals called "Pregnancy Rash Relief". It was the best decision I ever made. My midwife carries it but she is in Seattle. I know you can buy it online.

yes it is short for pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy - PUPPP it is a bit of a mouthfull!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
