pkay i have PUPPS and its a rash that lots of pregnant women get
it sucks
best thing i can tell you is call your dr for it
if it is PUPPS (i hope its not because seriously im miserable because of mine Sad)
the they can give you steroid creme for it
until then go buy some hydrocortizone creme and some calamine lotion to help stop the itch

however it could also be dry skin
your belly streatches alot during pregnancy causing your skin to dry out

How far along are you because PUPPS usually doesn't start until the third trimester sometime.

yeah it usually happens in the 3rd trimester although some women get it sooner

put lots of coco butter lotion on your tummy Smile it may help!

It is possible to get it sooner but it's more possible that your skin is itchy from stretching. This is about the time when your stomach will really start growing and stretching. I'm going through the same thing. I will be 26 weeks Friday.

I didn't get my lovely pregnancy tattoos (that is what I call them because they are my constant reminders of my pregnancies ) until I was a week before my due date. I just woke up one day and was like what the heck is that!!!! But they really have faded quite a bit......so it's not too bad.

I've been getting them on my butt and hips since around 13 weeks from where my hips spread. I just got the first one on my belly this week and I am 25 weeks 4 days. There's not much you can do. If you're gonna get them, you will. It's mostly genetics. I got stretch marks when I went through my major growth spurt when I was like 13 so I figured I would get them now. They do fade though so don't worry.

My tummy itched crazy!! And when Id scratch, it burned. I had no redness or anything on my stomach. It was itching from stretching.

I think what you are experiencing is stretching of the skin .That causes the itch. I did not get any stretch marks whatsoever so i wouldn't be able to help but i knwo some women get them early on and some get them late , regardless of the timing they usually are there to stay.
