I know this sounds weird, but I'm concerned and It's too early to call my dr. I woke up this morning with a bump on one of the millions of stretch marks that have formed on me. It looks like a big red pimple (as much as I can see, not easy to look considering the belly!!). It's soft, and hurts to the touch. The thing is big though, it may be 1/3 of an inch in diameter. Does anyone know what this could be? Or has anyone experienced this at all?

OK...I don't have that, but I rememeber reading something about it in the pregnancy Bible (What to Expect When You're Expecting) so I found it in the book and this is what it says. The question is "As if it's not bad enough that I have stretch marks, now I seem to have some kind of itchy pimples breaking out in them."...the answer...."Known medically as 'pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy' (PUPPP), the condition generally disappears after delivery....they may be uncomforatable but aren't dangerous to you or your baby....it most often develops in abdominal stretch marks..." I'm not sure that's what you have, but it just sounded like that and I remembered reading it, so I thought I'd try to help! Good Luck!
