Over the last couple of days rash is developing over arms and upper body, red little spots (not too itchy) all over and now some seem to be appearing on legs. Never had this with other pregnancies so am wondering what it could be. Will of course got to GP if gets worse but we are away this weekend and can't do anything till Tuesday.
Am 20weeks pregnant. Anyone experience this? and as it gets quite dry am wondering if cream can be applied.
Thanks.

It's probably the dry skin which is causing the rash. I find Kamillosan pretty good for clearing up the little red spots I get when pregnant. Or good old sudocrem. You also want to cut out any scented stuff you are using - bathstuff, soap etc.

I find I'm allergic to washing powder but only in pregnancy.

My skin went very sensitive when I was pg. My legs came out in a terrible rash when I wore trousers that had any lycra in them. Aloe Vera gel was really good - dried quickly, clear and very soothing and natural. You can get it from big chemists
