Pupps
While in my last trimester with my son I was diagnosed with having something called pupps. Which my skin was so itchy I wanted to claw myself. It was all over my body including my butt.
Found out this only happens to 1-160 women who are pregnant for the first time with boys.
Any boy moms here.. did this happen to you at all?

I’ve got it at the moment I’m 36 weeks pregnant with a boy, it’s all over my stretch marks and it’s itchy as hell 😩 does it go away once baby is born?
Yes but see if your doctor can give you a cream. I tried so much, calamine lotion, as crazy as it sounds I tried liquid Pepto bismol but there’s a cream the doctor can give you. That helped but right after the baby was born it was gone
Oh I didn’t know that’s what I had, I wondered why it only happened with my first. Crazy!
Yeah it was the worst feeling!
Yes, I had that too post partum not long after I had my son though. It was the worst! I got so much relief from using pine tar soap. I don’t recall seeing a doctor, but my friend looked that up and it was horrible. I pray to never go through that again.
This was what I used and it worked so well!

I had it from about 34 weeks and it was like a form of torture and as soon as I had my C-Section it went!! Never felt relief like it
Yes it happened to me with my first boy. Brutal! The only thing that helped was a nice shower, oiling up, & laying down. Didn’t happen to me with my 2nd son.
Yep mine was awful! Used antihistamines for few days and 1% hydrocortisone cream the relief was amazing. This had to be one of worst itch ever. Think I was maybe 31 weeks or something? X
It happened to me with my first but she’s a girl. I got induced because of it I COULDNT STAND IT I was scratching with a knife
a knife? OH MY! Scary!
