HELP - Questions about a rash after delivery

Postby Armymommy » Aug 11, 2005 11:11 am

Hi ladies... I delivered my daughter on the 31st and have been slowly developing a rash on my legs.... it is spreading... it seems to be like what developed in my stretch marks while I was pregnant.... I took Zofran, B12-complex and unisom for my entire pregnancy.... has anyone else had such a reaction... and could it have been related to what I took during pregnancy...

also I was induced and had pitocin and had an epidural.....


Anyone else out there?

I also was induced (sort of), had pitocin and an epidural but ended up with a c-section. I didn't get a rash but I did get part of 1 leg, just above my knee, went totally numb. It's only just now, 14 months later, starting to come right. Maybe a reaction to the epi? Have you got it checked out?

Hmmmm. I am not sure. HAve you asked your doctor? If it is continuing to sread, I would give him a call. I would think that if it was a reaction to a medication used during your delivery, it should be getting better from here on out, and not worse. Please call just to make sure you are okay.
