Question

I am 24weeks pregnant and recently developed a rash around my abdomen. Is this okay? ?

Answer 1

It could be your skin stretching, but it could also be prickly heat. Try dabbing some Calamine Lotion on it and see if that helps.

Answer 2

I read in "What to Expect When Your Expecting" that women can start to develop rashes and what not as the hormones make changes in their skin, such as blotches, skin tags, heat rash, skin rashes and more. If its a heat rash you can try putting a wet washrag on it while lying in bed, otherwise if its a skin rash, have you been using anything different on your stomach like for stretch marks or something? It could be that, or you could just be more sensitive to it now that you are pregnant. Good luck!

Answer 3

Yup.  You're tummy is growing and the rash and itchiness is one of the top complaints of all mommy-to-be's.  Your skin is stretching, and this probably means you'll have a growth spurt as your tummy begins to bulge out.  Make sure to use lotion to keep it hydrated and don't rub dry after showers, just pat it dry.
