Rash on bump - 30 weeks

I'm 30+3 and have had a rash on my bump since yesterday. I noticed it after I had a shower and thought it might be a heat rash so I left it but it's still there this morning.
Baby is still wriggling away and I don't feel ill but I have had frequent loose bowel movements for the past few days.
Has anyone had this before? Should I be worried?

I've no advice but I'd personally ring the midwife and if they're not concerned then visit your GP just to get them to check.

You need to get it checked out as it could be a symptom of intrahepatic cholestasis. It might not be, but go get it checked out

I had this last week! Or very similar I used Aveeno and pine tar soap and it went. Was very itchy and a bit red but went after three days or so. Chemist thought it was a side effect of the skin suddenly expanding.

I had this too, got it on my arms and face too ! I phoned the midwife and they'd asked me to go up and took bloods. Although the midwife looked at me and said 'what rash' Confused. Made me feel totally silly but it was a definite rash but glad I went up anyway and she gave me antihistamines xx

Thanks @Brownieb I will try the creams!

@Tropicana123 you shouldn't have felt silly! It's worrying when you don't know what it is, I tried not to feel like a drama queen phoning the midwife haha.

I'm glad everyone's experiences aren't bad :) x
