Those have had OC, how and when did it start for you? I'm 23 weeks with my 2nd (1st pregnancy was perfectly straightforward and uneventful).
Three days ago, I noticed a round flat red spot on my wrist. It didn't itch at first, just looked odd and out of place, but it started to itch yesterday. Last night, as I was getting ready to go upstairs to bed, I was sitting at my computer finishng a few emails and noticed my right upper arm was itchy (same arm as this bit on my wrist). I looked at it and is a red patch with about 4 hives on it. The same seemed to pop up on my upper left arm around the same time. Whether the hives or the itching came first I don't know. It's possible I've itched it and caused the rash without realising. I woke up this morning feeling like one of my palms was itchy, but no rash. It could totally just be me overthinking it though (it's not itchy anymore). The itchy on my wrist and two upper arms continues, the rash is still there.
It's entirely possible this is just an allergic reaction to something and I know it's a little early for OC with most cases popping up later. But I'm already feeling a bit miserable about it and wondering if I should be more concerned than I am. I'll call the midwives next week if it's still there or getting worse (my understanding is there isn't much they would do at this point anyway other than keep an eye on it).But for those who had OC, when did it start for you? And how did it start? Did it seem like patchy hives at first or was it immediately all over?
