Try to read over the internet about belly rash during pregnancy and you find all kinds of rashes mentioned. From minor, itchy ones to most serious ones with big medical names; there is a long list. And even searching through images.google.com will only scare you.
Minal has this belly rash that started around her belly button and is slowly working it's way upwards in a straight line. Not sure if it was alternating between body lotion and lotion to prevent stretch marks that caused this or if it is some hormonal change. She has stopped applying any on her belly since last week and we can't wait to show it to the doctor during prenatal visit on Thursday. Because it is spreading fast. I keep assuring Minal that it is just a minor rash but at times it scares the hell out of me too. Keeping our fingers crossed.
The day second home pregnancy test showed positive we were on a roller coaster of emotions. Dumbstricken, confused, anxious, excited, joyful. Any or all of those could be used to describe us for next couple of weeks. Soon other feelings faded away and we were happy to know our lives had changed forever, for good.
