Not an AIBU but do you think this is slapped cheek?

Started as a rash on her cheeks, seems to fade and then come back again and has moved from her upper arms to her lower arms. Was brighter pink than in the pic.

Have had her to A&E and they thought slapped cheek but weren’t sure. I lost a baby a couple of weeks ago and am wondering if this is what caused it.

I'm sorry for your loss Iswallowtoothpaste, have you thought about seeing your GP tomorrow to have a conversation about this. If it's difficult to get an appointment ask for the duty-doctor to call you Flowers

I'd have guessed slapped cheek from personal experience. Both my children had it start on face, then spread to arms. So sorry for your loss.

Check the soles of her feet for a rash too

Looks like the rash my two got. So sorry for your loss 🌹
The rash in this picture is from slapped cheek and the hives it has triggered in my almoat 3 year old.

Thank you all for your replies. It’s one of those things. Heartbreaking but it happens.

My doctor has been amazing. He rang me as soon as he’d got the information through to say I’d miscarried. He gave me some fantastic advice regarding what steps to take next (as it was a MMC). I will maybe book an appointment to discuss this with him, although, I’m not sure there’s any point really?

She hasn’t got it on the soles of her feet but has started with a similar rash on her trunk. Fine in herself.
