Hey all...Im 29 1/2 weeks pregnant and I just noticed I have a rash on my belly. I have NO idea where it came from, but im freaking out!!!! Has anyone else had this or know what it is...... It is just like red dots (a little bumpy) all over my belly, they dont itch or anything they are just there....

HEY, I had those........I had that like at 27 or 28 weeks, I was in adressing room and I saw these red tiny bumps all over my belly. They didn't itch or anything. It freaked me out I didn't know where they came from. They only lasted two days or so on me and I didn't see them again.

How long have you had them?

I have these..I am also 29 1/2 weeks pregnant...they are itchy too for me..the ones on my belly have dried up but now, I have them on my arms, feet and legs also...They are getting itchy...I emailed my doctor and he told me that they are pregnancy rashes and are very common....I wish mine did not itch...

i've never had the rash but my skin gets dry and flaky, perhaps try using the lotion called Eucerin (calming Creme) it has oatmeal in it and works wonders on my flakey itchy skin, perhaps it could help with your bumps. good luck girls

I had them at 21 weeks...but also all over my chest...use a topical benedryl cream to help if it does start itching...dont take the pill, a cream is best...and it will clear up on its own

I had a similiar rash at 28 weeks and it lasted for almost 3 weeks...tiny red bumps all over breasts (especially) and belly, parts of my legs too. Very uncomfortable and used topical cream prescribed by my dermatologist..also used benadryl once but didn't really seem to help. Aveeno cream is good for soothing the itch and dryness. Any cream with fragrance at the time bothered me, so using Aveeno and Cetaphil cream was good too. goodluck, it will be over before you know it.

I had a nasty rash all over my belly and breasts at about 30 wks., maybe a little later it was from a lotion I used, and mine itched so bad. It also was July and really freaking hot, so that didn't help w/ it at all. Mine was very small red bumps all over, esp. my breasts and my lower belly, anywhere I had clothing rubbing or semi-tight. It went away after I stopped using the lotion, and I used Caladryl to stop the itching. Mine lasted about 2 wks.

Have you been outside for a long time? Was it very hot? Were you wearing non-cotton clothes? I get heat rash very often. It normally lasts for 2 days and then it goes away.
