Itchy & Lumpy - to worry about or not?
Over the last few week I've noticed that I've started to get little bumps under my skin; first on top of my arms and bum (lovely). Despite vigorous srubbing in the shower and moisturising every day it's not going away... Now in the last two days it has spread to my boobs, lower back, rest of my arms, bit of my tummy and top of my thighs. It is also really really itchy! It's driving me mad!!! In some places the lumpy bits are red... they are also a lot worse when I've had a shower.
I've read that you can get a heat rash type thing when you're pregnant - is this it and has anyone else had it? Don't want to bother my midwife over something minor.... thanks )

Here is a link to a helpful page about PEP, even just knowing there are others out there with the same thing makes me feel better (sorry!)
Type the above names into a google image search, this is what I did and found many pics of the rash to help with diagnosis.
Sincerely hope you feel better, I'm miserable lol! x

Hope yours starts to ease for you soon... I think I may give some lacto-calamine lotion a try!
By the way anytime I call my midwife I get the same thing - straight to voicemail and if like me you are one of those people that hates leaving messages then it is annoying!! If you have an appointment coming up definately mention it then but if not I guess you will have to leave a voicemail and demand their attention!
Good Luck! x
