I've had a problem with my skin for several months now. I thought I was dry from the cold weather, then I thought I was irritated from the laundry detergent. Then I thought it was from the heat. It was just on my thighs now it has moved to my arms, belly, butt, and calves. I have started to get very itchy on the bumpy, dry looking spots. It's really bad at night from the warmth of the covers, I guess. I was awake last night from 2-3am looking on line as to what it could be. I'm nearly positive it is pregnancy related. Something called, "PUPPS". It's related to fetal cells passing in to my liver or something like that. It's not at all harmful to the mom or baby and goes away after the birth. I'll put up more info later. It is usually in the 3rd trimester and most common among women carrying a boy- 70%- or twins. Hmmmm, I've been thinking that's strange. I've had 3 boys and never had this before. I also don't think how I could be carrying twins in such a small space! It's funny how when I first became pregnant I thought I had twins. That would be a huge surprise.
I'm going to call my midwife tomorrow. Now I'm going to go lather on some calendula soap in a quick shower. (heat makes it worse).
