Nobody wants to research and discuss this horrible affliction, so this is what I just found out and what all women need to know.
If you had PUPPPS in your first pregnancy, there is a 30% probability you will get it in the subsequent pregnancies. I just spoke to a leading specialist and this is what he told me.
“But I read on the Internet that you never get it more than once,” I babbled.
“Where is it that you said you worked?” the doctor asked with a tired smile.
“I’m a college professor,” I said. “And yes, I see your point. I hate it when students say this phrase, too.”
So here it is. And by the way, there is absolutely no cure for PUPPPS. You can maybe try to alleviate the symptoms somewhat with a battery of drugs that will mess you up in every other way but you’ll still have to endure excruciating pain until you deliver and very probably for 8 weeks after.
I am very, very sorry for those who are undergoing this horror right now. I’ve been there, and I’m so so sorry to be a bearer of these bad news. But I believe it’s better to know and see the future clearly.
I’m not pregnant, if anybody’s wondering.
