Autoimmune hives?

Anyone on here with an autoimmune disease and has experienced unexplainable hives?

I had an AWFUL outbreak of hives that covered my entire body when I was 18w pregnant and lasted until I was 19w it only went away with the help of a steroid (oral)

Anyways I’ve been type 1 diabetic since I was 4 and and have no known allergies. Nothing in my routine has changed either.

With that being said I’m now 33+4 and experiencing the hives all over again except they won’t give me an oral steroid since I’m border hypertension :(

This is day 8 with the hives 😭 I’ll flare up every few hours but I’ll have small patches all over that consistently stay.

I’m taking an oatmeal / baking soda bath once a day for 20 minutes and using Benedryl cream and hydrocortisone and using an aveeno moisturizer

My doctor believes my hives are autoimmune related and said I can see a dermatologist after I deliver in a few weeks.
