Hives all over body?

[tannersmummh]

I am 5 weeks four days pregnant but since 2 days ago have had hives appear absolutely everywhere initially started on my legs , I did think they were bites at first but definitely not!
I have been using calamine lotion on them but it only eases for a short while , I had a pregnancy loss last year so any little thing I Will completely over think...
Has anybody ever had this and pregnancy has gone on to be fine? I am going to the hospital today to be checked over or I will end up absolutely crazy from over thinking...

Thank you in advance 😩❤️

It looks like polymorphic eruption of pregnancy although it is quite early. Mine didn't start until mid was through second trimester.

You should get checked out to be safe though.

The only thing that helped me was oral steroids.

Thank you , definitely going to get it checked out today as It's keeping me up at night from constant itching ,I've never been so anxious!

I had this after the pregnancy, when my daughter was 3 month old. It's a reaction to stress (autoimmune response), non threatening but inconvenient. I manage it with antihistamines which gets rid of the itching/ burning feeling. My doctor at the time said my hives would burn out once I settle into motherhood. My daughter is now 15. And my hives is with me to this day. I sometimes feel it coming up during meetings at work or if I'm overwhelmed with lots of competing priorities. Use antihistamines!
