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
