This may sound pathetic. I've developed a rash on my tummy, and became incredibly itchy. Has anyone had something like this before during pregnancy? I'm 39+4

Could be PUPPS. I had it. Starts in the stretch marks and spreads out across limbs.

Mine got worse after I delivered DD. Ended up on oral andntopical steroids.

(I believe it’s an allergic reaction to the baby.)

I had that. The doctor said skin gets more sensitive during pregnancy and as I was always wearing more fitted clothes over the bump, it was a bit of a reaction. I already have sensitive skin anyway. So I had to wear loser clothing, let air get to it, put moisturiser on. I would definitely go get it checked though to be safe Smile

You need to get yourself checked for obstetric cholestasis ASAP.

I had PUPPs around that time, was itching insanely and went into labour a few days after. They did give me a steroid to apply thinly which did offer relief, nothing else seemed to work
