Over the last day or two, Kryssi has come out in a rash. It has completely covered her face, ears, hairline, neck, tummy, back, and you can see that it is starting on her legs today as well. There are so many, they're like freckles on a redheaded boy! They are just slightly raised, but not pimply.

Anyway, she doesn't seem bothered by the rash and has no other issues (e.g. dribbly nose or anything). DH took her to the dr today and he basically said it looks like something viral, if it starts itching then she has an allergy to the virus, and to keep her away from pregnant women!

Now first of all I find it almost hilarious that my GP and DH both forgot in a short appointment time that I am pregnant!! But secondly, has anyone else had anything like this before? Thirdly, if the warning was to stay away from pg women (clearly impossible in my case), does that indicate that it might be rubella? (btw I have rubella immunity but Kryssi ought to have as well - her imm's are up to date).

Hmm Im not sure.....but it kind of sounds like a heat rash....but Im not sure. Probably best to take her to the doctors and get it checked as you never know!

Can you ask your dr why she has to stay away from pregnant woman??

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

That is bizarre to tell you to keep Kryssi away from pregnant women but tell you what it is?

How is she today? Did you go back to the dr at all?

There wasn't any need to take her back to the dr, the rash got worse for one more day and now is just about cleared. We both keep forgetting to ring the docs but none of us are rashy so I'll presume everyone is ok
