Anyone else had this before? Just about to get in the bath and noticed I have a rash ranging from little dots into big red patches.
Its
itching all over my body that I want to scratch so bad.
My armpits also feel really tender and sore so does under my neck.
I've just got back from a break at Butlin's so hoping it's not something I've picked up, but I feel absolutely drained and felt really sick and like I was about to have an accident during the week also I think about two days ago.
Since felt ok other than this intense itch tonight. I've had chicken pox already so I'm ruling that out. Confused

The itching is more worrying than the rash (could indicate pregnancy cholestasis). I think you should see someone ASAP.

I'm 26 weeks and had this but under my armpit (just the one 😂) did my head in but eventually cleared itself up.

Phone the midwife on Monday. They can check if it’s cholestasis pretty fast.

My DD had terrible liver issues with her last pregnancy - the itching was unbearable. I'd ring your local maternity triage just to be on the safe side so they can do some bloods to rule it out.
