pregnancy rash PUPPPS

[ohmygodimamum]

hello just wondering how many others had to endure the PUPPPS rash during their pregnancy, for me it started at about 31wks and cleared roughly a week after i gave birth (with my first child) DD was born at 35wks, i think she came early because she knew i wouldnt last another 5wks with it lol

I had it too - got it at around 36 weeks - bub came at around her due date. Put up with it and the infernal medication swapping for 4 weeks. HELL ON EARTH!!! Nothing worked - or anything that remotely gave me relief put me to sleep. It got to a point that when the Dr said if you still have it at your next checkup we will induce you.....that i said if I still have it by thursday (it was monday) I would induce me!!
I wouldnt even leave the house as i was embarrased by how i looked!
Jut hope i dont get it next time!

I actually got it on day 5 post birth...

yeah i heard some get it after, how long did it last for?



yes it was very terrible for me, i couldnt sleep, my whole body felt like it was burning, i couldnt wear clothes, i had to shower several times a day and apply all kinds of lotions and creams and powders, DP actually made ME go and sleep on the couch so i wouldnt wake him with my constant itching and crying..

And my 'Dr' didnt even tell me what it was, when i saw him he said "oh that could be anything, its probably heat rash or something" (i was living in darwin at the time *HOT*) He did prescribe me 2 tubes of steroid cream which wasnt nearly enough, it took one whole tube just to cover my whole body! I bought every kind of rash and itch releiving product from the chemist and just had to wait it out. It wasnt until i moved to vic and was seeing a dr about my second pregnancy when i only described what the symptoms were he instantly knew what it had been. I had read about PUPPS on the internet after my initial dr couldnt provide me any answers and figured that was what it would be..

i wouldnt wish it on ANYONE

nope me either. I actually thought I had the measeles lol.
Only lasted about 3 days thank goodness, i guess it was just all the hormone being released before it died down.
