Hey ladies, I have a question. I am in my 31 week of pregnancy and for the last few weeks I have had a rash on my thighs. Its red and the bumps are small. It does NOT itch or hurt but it is ugly. Any ideas? Thanks.

I have heard of women and rashes like that during pregnancy but I forget what it is called. Sorry I can't be more help than that. I would bring it up at the next dr appt.

Sounds like PUPPP to me. You'll have to look it up for more info though- sorry. I think the only "cure" for it is delivery. It's not uncommon.

Im not sure what it's called but I think that it's normal.  If it doesn't itch it's probably just a hormonal thing and will clear up after you have the baby.  I would say just keep it moisturized so that it doesn't start to itch and let it run it's course.  No worries mama, pregnancy does a lot of things to our bodies.
