Has any experienced anything like this. Have them on my stomach chest back and feet now too. I thought they were bites when they just appeared on my belly but they have spread now. They are so itchy.

Could be urticaria. Have you changed your laundry detergent or shower gel, or gone for a walk somewhere new?

I did go for a walk on Friday night but they had already started the day before and only thing I did that day was a hospital appointment. I have a cat and dog though so going to deflea them both again and the house just incase.

Also @Crackerscheesescabbyknees if it is hives is there an antihistamine that's safe in pregnancy?

Best thing to do is to talk to your pharmacist. Have you got one locally you can visit?

Actually I'd ring your midwife if you can, I got Prurigo while pregnant and need tropical steroids. It was itchy as hell looks a bit like hive. The sooner you start treatment the less worse it will be. But it's import to talk to a midwife or doctor when your pregnant and could be somthing else also. So make sure you get checked out.

Thanks @Crackerscheesescabbyknees and @MigGril. Phoned community midwives there and they want me down for a check up said it is probably hives but would rather I get checked out
