Okay, let me start by saying that these are disgusting pictures (weak stomachs beware) but I am fascinated that a pregnancy can make your skin react this way! I came down with this strange rash on Saturday. Each day it has gotten worse and has spread. I've been all over the internet self-diagnosing. My first thought was "heat rash" but now I am thinking it must be PUPPS (thanks to info. from Julie and Kim), a strange and severely itchy rash that you can get during pregnancy. The cause is unknown but it supposedly lasts until after the baby is born (roughly 8 weeks for me). I hope and pray that the spreading stops here!

Katie, I feel your pain. The PUPPS rash is God Awful! The best way I can describe it is like you fell into a ant bed the size of a bath tub and can't get them off!! It caused me to fequently go into a hysterical itching rage complete with tears and sobbing. I am so sorry you have this. The stinging and itching is unimaginable! Wear loose fitting clothes and take cool showers when it gets unbearable.Stay out of the sun!
