Post partum hives???!

My baby was born on may 5th. Since then every single time I go outside into the sun I break out in hives on whatever body part was exposed ( usually arms and legs) I have to assume it had something to do with hormones as this as never happened before or even during pregnancy. Has anyone experienced this??

  • Omg, I'm glad someone else experienced some sort of rashy weirdness! My baby was born may 20th, and like less than two weeks post partum I had hives for like four days. So hard getting up in the middle of the night on Benadryl!! Hope your issues resolve soon!

    OMG I thought I was the only one! I broke out all over my arms and legs about 3 days PP and they didn't clear up for 2 weeks. I worked out that any tight fitting clothes made them worse so I started wearing maxi skirts instead of my jeans and they cleared up on my legs. Still have some around my hips. 

    I broke out in an all over rash when I was 5 week pregnant too. Never had skin problems before so my body clearly has some weird reactions to pregnancy hormones.

    I notice that my skin (especially my face) reacts to the pregnancy hormones. I have to switch face cleansers and moisturizers while pregnant and for a few months after until the hormones clear out. I haven't had hives, but I certainly notice a lot of weird things from all the hormones. Hopefully that will all clear up soon.
