pregnancy rash spreading

Hi

I hope someone can help me...(!)

I have a raised red bumps rash that has spread from my belly, to my back, legs and arms. It started on Monday and it's now sunday (6 days). It doesn't itch, but I am concerned.

I've been to the GP 3 times this week (seeing 2 different docs), both have described my rash as hormonal. And not chickenpox, measles, allergic or anything significant.

Whilst it was reassuring when I was able to hear my baby's heartbeat at the doctors; I am still concerned, as the rash has yet again progressed today. Here is a photo:

Has anyone experienced this or similar? I would appreciate

thanks Kath

My first thought was PUPPS, but it doesn't itch...next thought is that it might be a virus, but here are a few ideas:

THanks Doulalc for the link that's great resource. THANKS..

You right it doesn't (yet) itch, and I am only 18 weeks pregnant, whereas PUPPP seems to come after 34 weeks... Hmmmm..

Any more ideas, anyone?!

help!
