I am 39 weeks pregnant and have a bad rash developing on my face, back and legs...I haven't used any different products such as soaps or laundry detergents...what could it be from. I try not to itch it because I don't want to irritate it more. Has anyone else experienced this?

It could be something known as pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPPP). Here is a link to a site that will explain it to you further. There is also a pic so that you can compare it to your rash.

Hope all is fine.

Yes I have had this when I was expecting my first child, don't know if it is the same. Not to scare you but I was told I had Lupus rash, you need to see your doctor. Don't wait . I was 3 months when it started.

You need to see your doctor. I cannot seem to find my pregnancy books right now, but I think it is called PUPPS, or something like that.
