I’m very itchy at 27 weeks. Especially my bump, boobs, nipples, back and hips. Haven’t had any itching on hands or feet. I know itching can be a bad sign in pregnancy but each time I look it up, it says about hands and feet.
I have a midwife appointment on Wednesday so was going to mention it to her then. I have these little red spots come up too (which are very itchy) and a bit of a rash on my boobs.

Contact midwife this morning. If you are concerned then they are concerned.

She’s on annual leave, I’m seeing a different one on Wednesday which is why I thought I’d wait until then. I don’t think it’ll make a difference waiting two days as even if it is the condition ICP, they induce you at 37/38 weeks anyway. So I’m still quite a way off that.

I’ve just come across something called PUPPs too...which sounds more likely as there’s a rash with it, whereas ICP doesn’t have a rash apparently. PUPPs is fairly common and doesn’t cause any issues, I will still tell/show the Midwife when I go there though.

Yes it sounds like PUPPS to me.

As Soy says, sounds very much like PUPPP.
It sucks.

Sorry for the pic, but here’s the rash on my boob.

What can I do about this PUPPs? Anything I can put on it?

Definitely get it checked out, but I know in each of my pregnancies my skin has gone really sensitive and triggered eczema and itching.
