So I've started developing these weird hives/rashes on the under side of my belly. I'm 32 weeks and this started last week. It started out as an itch that I associated with stretch marks, but then the hives started to come along. Anyone else have this?

Question

Answer

I've not had it but it seems like it could be PUPPPS.

Answer

Mine lasted about two weeks but that's because I was trying to use everything over the counter to give me some relief. Until I started drinking more and more water. I even added lemon to it to kind of speed it up. The more water I had the less itchy I was and eventually they went away. Hang in there! and drink that water you want to flush your liver.

Answer

We've called my doctor about it and they just said to drink water and use some kind of itching relief. I have some crazy skin allergies anyway, so I usually use children's benadryl cooling gel for any rashes or bug bites that I have an allergy to. And I hope.I've been drinking enough water. I drink about 8-10 bottles per day (each bottle is 16 oz) and I drink 3 glasses of milk and a glass of juice. It's spreading a little further up my belly, as well as down my legs and on my arms/hands. Hopefully at my appointment next week when they can see it they'll have some other answers for me. Do y'all know about how long this would usually last?

Answer

That's definitely PUPPP. Call your doctor and let them know asap. Usually it's not that big a deal but in some rare cases it can be.

Answer

Look up PUPPS I had it with my first baby and it was pretty bad. It covered my whole body including my face. Crazy thing my dr didn't know what it was but a friend had it and helped me out. It has something to do with your liver and it will go away if it's flushed so drink plenty of WATER and try not to scratch you don't want to ruin your skin. I used oatmeal baths and calamine lotion to help with the itching. Look it up though there's tons of sites that tell you what it is but ultimately you want to drink that water! Good Luck!
