My dr said oat meal baths and gave me cream to put on it. Tbh the cream didn't work. But the oat meal bath stopped the itchiness.

Sorry, what is PUPPP??!

they’ve given me hydrocortisone, dermal 500 and piriton but I’m still struggling :(

The letters PUPPP stand for pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy. In simpler terms, PUPPP rash is a patch of itchy, hive-like bumps that form in the stretch marks on your belly and spread to other parts of your body when you're pregnant ☹️

Yes, but mine started earlier…maybe 24 weeks or so. The itching has died down, but I still get little bumps, like tiny pimples, that pop up on my legs and the side of my butt. So annoying!

- thank you for explaining. Hope you feel better soon!

Yes, I’ve got it on my lower back and legs although no stretch marks,
Mine is so itchy

mine started arounf 28 weeks. I didn't like they hydrocortisone, I asked them what can I do at home because it was horrible.

Honestly I went around my house in just a dress no underwear, let it be free and air out used the cream , took oatmeal baths (it's alveno fragrance free from walmart), and I when I was laying down I used ice. It helps alot.

the rash started on my belly but then my body ended up having a allergic reaction to the rash 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ so now my arms and legs are covered in small blisters and rashes honestly it’s driving me absolutely insane. Nothing the doctors have prescribed works so now I’m just using the dermal moisturising cream to keep the itching down 😭

aw no bless you :( I feel your struggle. They are finally going to induce me early because my skin is just tearing apart :( I can’t take it anymore

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
