Rash at 19 weeks

[StarsAllAround]

So I have woken up this morning with a rash all over my boob, tummy and legs, should I be worried? Will try to call drs when they open but they never answer the phone and midwife takes days to get back to you. Any advice appreciated I am 19 weeks and worried.

Itchy rashes can happen during pregnancy- wear loose clothes- have a cool bath and apply lotion or moisturiser- avoid strong perfumes & soaps. But best get in touch with Dr/Midwife and they can decide if you need further investigations

Take care

Hi Janet, thanks for replying, I managed to see my GP and it turns out I have a viral infection which has caused rash. No danger to baby but rash will take a few weeks to disappear.
