Pregnancy Vlog - Week 23

Hey Guys! This is my week 23 pregnancy vlog video, and I experienced a "pregnancy rash" called PUPPS. (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy). I discuss my ER visit, symptoms, baby stuff, braxton hicks contractions and of course belly pic!

Just alittle about PUPPS: (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy)

The rash is very itchy, hence the name. This condition is harmless to mother and baby, but can be very annoying. It usually lasts an average of 6 weeks and resolves spontaneously 1 to 2 weeks after delivery. The most severe itching normally lasts for no more than 1 week.

Cause of PUPPP:
The cause of PUPPP is unknown. It is not associated with preeclampsia, autoimmune disorders, hormonal abnormalities, or fetal abnormalities. Some investigators suggest that the rapid abdominal wall distension damages connective tissue and causes an inflammatory response.

Diagnosis of PUPPP
The diagnosis of PUPPP is clinical, meaning it is based solely on the appearance of the rash. There are no laboratory tests that detect PUPPP. Skin biopsies are not generally performed unless there is a question about the diagnosis.
