Rash?

Question

Has anyone else experienced a rash like this before in pregnancy? It covers my whole bump and has appeared out of nowhere and spread in the past 48 hours. Nowhere else on my body is affected, and it's extremely itchy. I went to see my GP today, and they just said dry skin, which I know for a fact it is not. So just curious if anyone else had experienced the same and what their diagnosis is/was? 
I'm 32+5! Thanks ladies 😘

Answer

I would definitely either contact your midwife again and demand to be seen by her. Or go to the hospital and if they just chalk it up to dry skin I would demand a blood test to rule out cholastisis. Also it could be PUPPS rash which there's not much they can do about that but it's better to get checked out. Sometimes you have to be annoyingly demanding 🙄

Answer

Well, that rash looks very familiar to me, i got allergic eczema, always had sensitive skin but got this after I developed an allergy to coconut oil, always used it till all of a sudden this happened. Didn't wanna believe it so I stopped and it cleared after a few days put oil again and bam got the pesky rash again. Then the same thing happened all over cuz of my detergent, I know use baby detergent for my clothes. All thanks to the pregnancy hormones :/

That looks like hives

Answer

Severe itchiness in the second or, more commonly, the third trimester can be a sign of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a liver problem that affects up to 1 percent of pregnant women in the United States.

Up to 1 percent of pregnant women develop a condition characterized by itchy, red bumps and larger patches of a hive-like rash on their bellies. This is called pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP), also called polymorphic eruption of pregnancy.

Prurigo of pregnancy This relatively rare condition (sometimes called papular eruptions of pregnancy) is characterized by many tiny bumps that may look like bug bites at first. (Later, due to scratching, you may have little cuts that crust over in places.)
In very rare cases, a pregnant woman will develop intensely itchy eruptions that start out like hives and then turn into large blistering lesions. This rash is called pemphigoid gestationis (or herpes gestationis because of its appearance, although it has nothing to do with herpes virus).
