Most days I can say that I feel pregnant. Well today I feel pregnant, but mostly I just feel fat. Fat and itchy actually. I've had a rash for a week now. It started on my feet and ankles...and then was on my belly...and then my calves...and now it's all over my legs, hips and back. The doctor said that it could be one of two things...just a simple allergic reaction to SOMETHING...or PUPPPs. I haven't changed soap or laundry detergents recently...no new creams or vitamins....I can't think of anything different that I've eaten....so WHAT THE HECK!?
As each day passes and the itching gets exponentially worse, I'm more convinced that it's PUPPPs. I bought some Aveeno itch relief body wash, some 1% hydrocortizone cream (which by the way comes in ridiculously tiny tubes....I can use the entire thing in one application!!), I've been taking Benedryl (with doctor approval, of course)....and NOTHING is working! I'm itching all day....and I'm itching ALL night!
I will be calling the doctor again tomorrow. I don't know what they can do for me, most likely nothing. They say that PUPPPs usually goes away after giving birth...but I just can't last another 10 weeks like this!!
Anyone have any advice for a fat, itchy pregnant girl? I'm desperate!

You poor thing! That sounds miserable. Didn't Rhonda have something similar?
