12 weeks pregnant with possible PUPPPS or an allergic reaction to this pregnancy??

Thanks. I'm very interested to hear. I nearly admitted myself to hospital on Thursday actually, wondering if they should be doing BT's for me.

Not so much early on in pregnancy but from about 26 weeks, I was HORRIBLY itchy all over. It wasn't PUPPS and my liver function tests were always fine right through but I was SO DAMN ITCHY. My OB wasn't particularly worried about it because my bloods were always fine but she prescribed menthol in hydrocortisone cream which I used when I was desperate. The menthol felt great. I would definitely ask for some bloods to at least put your mind at rest.

I get urticaria in pregnancy. It isnt PUPPS, it's just extremely irritating.

Things that worked for me:
* cool/lukewarm showers
*spraying my skin with Dr Wheatgrass spray
* Wiping down with diluted apple cider vinegar (though the wheatgrass was better)
*moisturising with coconut oil
*trying not to scratch
*wearing natural fibres (though not scratchy wool clothes)

My liver function tests were all good.
