>I was diagnosed with PUPP at 17 weeks and had throughout entire pregnancy. Was put on several courses of steroid and taking Benadryl every six hours. Baby was completely fine. Baths in whole milk and keeping cool saved my life. Sonograms were done every month to check on placenta, etc. Hang on. I'm looking for anyone who has had PUPP and had a subsequent baby. I did not have with first and am considering another but will not go through PUPP again.
