Hello 🫶🏼
I had polymorphic eruption of pregnancy with my first daughter around 20 weeks I’ve currently come up with this. It started under my boobs and top of my belly but my arm is by far the worst. It’s so itchy but I’m only 17 weeks this time. I understand it can come in the second trimester but more common in the third so I’m wondering is it the same thing or heat rash. I’m gunna make an appointment at the doctors tomorrow but wondering is there anything I can do to make it more comfortable?

I had that with my second pregnancy I cried so much cause it really was itchy I took Benadryl to block it and I didn’t have to worry about it no more
I was so lucky with my daughter as they gave me antihistamines and steroids cream and it kept it at bay for the rest of my pregnancy but this is so intense so quickly. It’s driving me insane 😂😔
try some Benadryl it will relieve the itching twice a day you should feel better
amazing thank you 🫶🏼
keep me updated
I am 38 wks and also recently developed it. It Is such a horrible itching feeling. Mine started in the lower part of my bump and has now spread to almost every part of body. Doctor prescribed a steroid cream but it hasn’t really helped with the itching. I also purchased hydrocortisone cream and that has relieved some of the itching, although it wears off. I can’t stand it anymore, and can’t really get sleep either. 😩😩
