Ok ladies, I think I've developed PUPPS. I am 25w and didn't have this with my first pregnancy but now have tiny, red, pimple-like bumps all over the upper portion of my belly and it is very itchy. However, from what I've read they usually occur in stretch marks, and as of yet, I don't have any. Does this sound like PUPPS to you? What did you do ( Read more... )

I've heard of PUPPPS occurring during pregnancy but is it also possible to get it postpartum? Just wondering...

so last week i was diagnosed with PUPPS which is honestly the worst thing EVER and has been seriously unbearable.  they gave me a steroid cream which did NOTHING so i went in today to get an oral steroid.  they checked me for dilation and saw that i am about 3cm and 80% effaced.  then the doctor said it would be her preference to schedule an ( Read more... )

to those of you who have had PUPPS, how long after you had your baby did it take for it to go away? i'll be 40 weeks tomorrow and i'm so miserable because of this it's making me want to beg for an induction! i have it all over my body and it's worse than poison ivy!

I posted yesterday about the rash I had begun noticing and a couple of people started to mention PUPPS , and after further research it seems like that is very well what it might be but I also read that it doesn't happen until the third trimester usually and I'm only 25 weeks. Still possible that thats what it is or no?

Well if I had any doubt yesterday or two days ago, I have no doubt now...

I definitely have PUPPPS.

This rash is the devil. Does anything work to take care of it??? *scratches bumps with a jackhammer*
