PUPPP??

Question

I am only 10 weeks but have noticed these little bumps on my belly that just randomly appeared. They are raised a little bit and itch a lot? Any opinions on what it could be?

Answer

Yes, I had them through my last pregnancy and about 1 year postpartum. I've had a few this pregnancy too. They are more annoying than anything. Mine didn't get severe and my doctor said it wasn't PUPPS. I honestly think it's just my bodies reaction to all the different hormones. I also get pregnancy induces eczema on my hands and feet. I get the little bumps all over and some go away fast, some stay. Let me know if you ever get a name for them!

Answer

Sounds like it, but maybe have your doc take a look just to be sure? Most cases don't show up til later in pregnancy. I had it too, but not until about 35 weeks with my first. Mine started on my belly, and spread everywhere, even the bottoms of my feet! The itching would keep me up at night. One home remedy that helped me a little was putting ice packs on the worst areas. Hope you feel better!!

Answer

I got this with my son right after I had him. I flared up bad when I was as at the hospital. They gave me something for it but that was two years ago and too many drugs at the time to remember what they gave me.
