Pregnancy allergies

[Emma2803]

Anyone else developed pregnancy allergies? I think I have, terrible runny nose, scratchy throat and sneezing. Been going on for almost two weeks, quite annoying, thought it was a cold but not so sure, no other cold symptoms (aches, cough, swollen glands etc)

Hi,
Yes - stuffy nose and sneezing since 3.5wks - thankfully sneezing a little calmer these last couple of weeks.

I developed a sensitivity to my earrings whilst pregnant, bloody expensive gold ones.

Could it be hayfever do you think? I've always suffered but this year (first pregnancy) has been particularly bad. I've read that pregnancy can make you more susceptible to hayfever even if you haven't been before and I think it's generally been a really bad year due to the unusually long periods of hot dry weather we've had. The 2 combined could be the reason, either way I sympathise, allergies are truly rubbish!

Yes, I suddenly got hay fever with my first pregnancy. Had never had it before and it was awful. After three weeks I hadn't slept in days and was having trouble breathing at times - anti-histamines!

I'm starting to wonder if I could be allergic to my dog....
I was allergic to animal dander when I was a child but grew out of it.
Was at a wedding on Saturday and no running nose, away all day today and noticed I was fine but I'm home a few hours and nose is running again!!
