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??
