Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since you have had a history of abruptio placentae in your first pregnancy, you need to be careful. Visit your gynecologist, if you are experiencing spotting you need to be examined. Hope you feel the fetal movement and everything is normal. You should get an USG done to locate the position of your placenta. The position of your placenta in the USG report will determine whether normal delivery or Cesarean section will be safer for you.
Do not worry about the rash or itching, many women experience this towards term pregnancy. It is PUP, Pruritis utricarian papules. If you have a lot of discomfort with it apply locally calamine lotion or a water based moisturizer, you can also apply coconut oil.

Hope I have answered your query,
take care.
Regards,
Dr Nupur K
