Hives / rash
Hi, can i know is it normal to develop hives or rashes during pregnncy. Im at 11 weeks and having very itchy rashes around the arms and legs.


I think it depends on individuals.. I developed hives (It goes on and off thru out the day for a week) in 4th week of pregnancy. Later, my mum told me she got that when she is preg with me (lol). You may try chlorpheniramine/antihistamine . If it doesn't work for you (like me), you might want to try wear windbreaker and pant to cover yourself from wind (old people's saying but somehow it works for me). Otherwise, see a gynae if you can coz other docs (from my understanding after seeing two docs) can only give u the above two meds.. Hope this helps =)
Read moreIt doesnt look like Hives more like an allergy /rash or bites. I had chicken pox during my first pregnancy and immediately consulted a dr. Pls go see one and get a medication for it as u will start to feel more discomfort and don't want u to be stress later while hvg the baby.
It really depends. In Nov when we travelled for holiday, my wife had bites on her arms while I did not get any. We were staying in a Air BnB apartment.. We told yourselves, that would be the last. Next time spend a little more money for hotel.
I have hives once over my leg too during pregnancy. I’m fine if they go off after the night. Else, I would consult.
It's quite common, if you feel it's unbearable you can take antihistamines like telfast. Otherwise see a skin doctor :)
Okay thank you
yeah i had it too. it will go away sooner or later when you reach second trimester.
Yes, I got it too at the end of my first trimester, but it went away quite quickly
I have rashes and I use lavender essential oil to sooth the itch. Works for me!
Yes i had hives too for the first time in my life while 5-6 weeks pregnant!

Did you take antihistamines?
It doesn’t look like rash. But if u are concern, see a doc
