Hives while pregnant

Manda • 🍼 one little princess + two little princes + 1 on the way 👶🏻

Help!! Has anyone else gotten hives while they were pregnant?? I had my first check up with my GP today and mentioned it and how bad they were the previous day and he just basically ignored me. Needless to say i’m switching GPs anyhow, but i did tell him i caved and took an antihistamine because i was in so much pain last night and he just said i shouldn’t have done that. Well then?? Ugh. Help ladies!! I’ve no idea what to do and it’s on my legs, chest, sides, arms and esp. armpits! Didn’t change anything in my diet, environment, etc. also i put on hydrocortisone but it doesn’t really help 😭

I got horrible hives 4 months postpartum after my son. It was horrible ( legs, arms, neck, face). I had to go to an allergist. I’d suggest going to an allergy specialist. They will know what to prescribe that’s safe during pregnancy. Usually, hydrocortisone cream and oral Benadryl are OK during pregnancy. During this pregnancy, I have really bad eczema (never had it before). I’m using hydrocortisone and it’s helping.
