pregnancy feels GIF

Hi I am 16 weeks pregnant and a week ago I noticed a small rash on my neck which was very itchy and also had a burning sensation.So I had a chat with pharmacy about it who advised me to have a chat with GP.I contacted NHS 111 and after 7 long hours of wait I finally got a call back from our of hours gp who prescribed me a eurax HC cream for a week twice a day as I am epileptic I cannot take antihistamines as they are prone to cause seizures very easily.Its been a week now.My rash is getting better as before it looked like something similar like folliculitis kind of like pimple and blistery looking as soon as I started using the cream it helped me with the horrible itching also the pimples are gone but the skin is still red and not completely gone yet and when I touch it it still burns.So I am wondering should I keep using the cream or give gp a call as I was prescribed this cream only for a week and told if it doesn't get better to talk with my GP.Also no rash anywhere else on body and no any temperature or fever.Also no skin problems in previous two pregnancies .a

Hi there if anyone has experienced some like this can you please give me advice.I lost my baby at 18 weeks as I had cramps which I knew something was wrong and when I went to hospital I was told that there is no heartbeat I was heartbroken.My two previous pregnancies were not too bad first was low birth weight as I wasn't eating well low fluid around the baby and he was breech so I had c section and a healthy baby boy.my second pregnant no problems at all and I was taking epilepsy medication and I had emergency c section as induction didn't worked.In this pregnancy scan at 12 weeks showed perfect baby.I had high bp and positive urine results in my second pregnancy at week 38-39 like two times so I was kept monitored and sent home as bp become normal so I mentioned this fact this time.After having my twelve week scan midwife and consultant suggested that I take aspirin 150mgs everyday two weeks after it I experienced nose bleed feeling extremely hot and a rash which doctor said isn't aspirin causing it.i felt extremely hungry and ate lots I didn't gained any weight at all also drink tons of water I even switched from normal to decaffeinated tea so my baby can have good weight.and at week 17+6 which was 29 April 2023 I went o hospital with pain and got these horrible news.and had to deliver baby naturally he or she only weighed 47 grams and I was devastated I am still waiting for results but no one is agreeing with me that this is aspirin that caused this as in this pregnancy my bp was perfect everything was perfect bloods etc.Also after taking aspirin my baby started to move less which everyone said me is normal as it's still early days.its been 5 days now I am coping somehow as I have two children but my husband is completely shuttered I have never seen him like this.He is completely removed himself from the whole family which is completely natural.my question is does anyone had a experience where aspirin has harmed rather than doing any good.As it was supposed to protect the baby but it killed baby.as with my two previous pregnancies I didn't took aspirin and got two healthy children
