Starting yesterday I was getting itchy on my arms and chest and this morning I've noticed red tiny raised bumps, looks like tiny pimples I guess, but more like a rash. I'm trying with all my might not to scratch them, but they are so itchy. I can't find too much information on the internet, anything I find does not look like anything I have. I don't see my doctor till next Friday, but obviously if it gets worse I will try to get in to see her earlier. Did any of you ladies experience something like this in your early pregnancies?

I didn't have any itching...but your hormones can cause all kinds of crazy things. I think, if I remember right, Toni (xananda101) had this during her pregnancy. Hope it gets better for ya and wish I had more advice for ya.

I was just coming over from TTC#1 to ask this Q. I have broken out in kind of hives. I never get them I looked it up and found it can be an early pregancy sign. I was wondering anyone over here had the same.
I hoping I'm not crasping at straws and is could be a sign...

Rebecca - I am itchy, but pretty sure they aren't hives or a rash...not sure how to describe them. I did read though, that since my allergies have been worse lately that it can also cause your skin to react as well when you're pregnant. I also read that pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive to things that didn't bother it before. The itching didn't start till I was 10 weeks. Hopefully it's a good sign for you, although being itchy is no fun!!

Sorry Gwen - I meant to say thank you for your response! It's probably just a hormonal thing like you said. I'll ask my doctor when I see her next Friday.

Aww, I'm sorry Chloe...

I'm always itchy lately also...

during the summer, I got some red bumps and didn't know what it was - turns out that it was heat rash...hope it goes away soon!!

I never had any bumps, but I was wicked itchy in my first trimester!

Stacy - Did you ever mention it to your doctor? If so, what did he/she say about what it would be from?

Tonya - Weird that you're itchy too. I hope it goes away soon too for us! Living in Canada, I know mine's not a heat rash

[caring21]

I hope it clears out soon! These new hormones can really mess us up

She said it was normal. I think if the itchiness is on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet it may be an issue. Other than that, she wasn't concerned.

I hope you get to find out what it is, and get some treatment for it, soon.

Silverla - thanks...it's easing up, so I think it will just clear up on it's own. Probably was just a reaction to something.
