I've started in the last few days with an itchy rash on my stomach. I've not changed anything I use. Do you think this is something that I should be worried about?

Bumping for you.

Have just been to the consultant this week with the same problem pricey (I also have a rash on the underside of both arms). Was told that while it is not 'normal' in pregnancy it can happen and can just be hormonal.

She carried out a few blood tests just to be on the safe side - a liver function test (which has come back fine) and a bile something (sorry!) test which I'm still waiting on.

I think the best advice, as everyone else will say, is, if in doubt, always ask your midwife just to be on the safe side.

I had similar with my first pg - really itchy rash all over my tum and boobs, eventually spread a bit to my back. Was tested for something to do with liver function. came back clear and rash disappeared in a few weeks.

MW said it could have been the change in my bodies hormones etc. Thankfully I didn't get it with this pg it was really annoying . If you are using any creams etc try unperfumed/unscented your skin can get a lot more sensitive when pregnant.
