Rash

[JennyLynn512]

Wow, I am just full of posting things today, haha! Awhile ago, I posted a thread about a rash I had on my abdomen and wondered if it was normal. People replied that they thought it was. It ended up going away and was nothing. Well recently I have developed the rash again, only this time it is itching and has moved to the inside of my thighs. I called my doctor and she said she didn't think that it was normal and I have an appointment later this afternoon. I'm a little worried as I don't have any idea what this rash could be. I know my skin has been stretching and I've been itching more, but would that cause a rash? Any stories about how anyone went through this would be comforting or any advice anyone has before I go to the doctor would be great. Thanks guys!

I'm sorry hon, I can't say that I've experienced this. I hope all goes well with your doctor appointment . It might be due with the stretching skin, did you try putting cream on it? or does it make it worse?

Wow, do I feel stupid! Haha! The doctor said that my rash is just due to dry skin and the stretching already of my skin. Since I'm itching more, my skin is getting more dry and more dry and then starts to flake and cause a rash! HAHA...oh well, better to know something is good rather than find out it is harmful to our baby and I. It was a chance to listen to the heartbeat again! Haha!
