Please tell me what i can do to relive this itching and if it is harmful to me or my baby.

Answer
This condition is called PUPPP (Pruritic urticarial papules and pustules of pregnancy) and usually will disappear after the birth of the baby. There is some treatment you can use for it but you have to go to a dermatologist and get a prescription. It is self limiting and looks quite bad, but it will go away within two weeks after delivery. Call a dermatologist and tell the doctor that you apparently have PUPPS.
