PUPPPS during first pregnancy?

Anyone else suffered from PUPPPS?

It slowly crept up on me last week at 40 weeks and has gradually gotten worse. Thought it was heat rash at first but it's spread from my neck down to legs. Being induced this Saturday if baby doesn't make an arrival so hoping it clears up after delivery!

Any tips on how to help the itchiness and dry skin would be great (absolutely dying over here)!

So gutted because I never scratched my stretch marks this whole trimester but have gone crazy on them in the last week. The rash has made them so so so itchy Sad

Cold bath/shower before bed, calamine lotion. Antihistamine and/or a mild steroid cream - the sedating type of antihistamine can be quite good if you take it just before bed as well, anyi-itch plus mild sleeping tab so you can get a bit of rest. Have you seen a doctor for it?
Not much longer anyway!
