Hi guys, maybe I am just being a total hypochondriac here but this is my first pregnancy and now everything is freaking me out. I got this odd rash on my ankle yesterday morning and today it's started to spread up my leg.. what is it?? Is it pregnancy related you think? I am only 6 weeks along. It's just on one leg. I am not normally prone to rashes..

Doubt it's pregnancy related, just coincidental. See if you can get a pharmacist to have a look

They look like bites to me

As above, I thought bites too.

Not sure what could have bit me. We don't have mosquitoes here else I would have suspected that. But it's also just one leg. But I am glad to hear it's not pregnancy related :) thanks guys. Just freaking out because my GP is no help at all and I don't think I will get to see a doctor until like week 12 from the self referral. So I don't know anything I am supposed to do or not do. Like I know not to drink alcohol or smoke as that's just common knowledge and I Googled that I should take folic acid and Omega-3 vitamins so I am taking those. But that's all I know. Scary...
