I am 40 weeks on Saturday and I have a ...

...rash on my tummy. Its like a heat rash towards the top of my bump, I have been itching loads for a while now but never had a rash before. Got lots of stretch marks (joy) and had all the tests for Obstetric Cholestasis (sp?) which came back negative.

Any ideas anyone?

I am 37 weeks and have had similar for a few weeks now but only a mild rash. Some of the spots on the very top of my bump are almost heat rash-ish and itched quite a bit, about 5 spots.
I have quite bad night sweats, quite often I have to change in the middle of the night. I have put it down to this. Do you have similar? I am small everywhere else but bump is rather huge, are you similar?
Actually, I have a midwife appointment tomorrow so I will ask her to look at it and tell you what she says.

thats exactly what I am like, huuuuuuuuuge bump and very sweaty - attractive! I phoned my midwife just to check at lunchtime and she said that it was nothing to worry about, probably just more stretch marks getting ready to appear!!!! be interesting to see what your midwife says tomorrow - good luck!
