Kelsey and I went to the doctor today and discovered that my extremely itchy stomach could be more than just that. I could have PUPPPS which is a condition that affects 1% of pregnant woman and even though it is harmless-it is not painless. My belly is so itchy that I will get up 2 or 3 times in the middle of the night just to put more oil on it! I really try to not touch it at all, but at night it gets really bad. I even put a bag of ice on it Friday night! So in a way, I am glad to hear that it is not normal because no one should experience this and PUPPPS typically only occurs in first time moms or moms carrying multiples. Cute name but very annoying.
