I did google and get varying answers, I also have an appointment with my OB tomorrow(not for this specific issue but it will be addressed just in case). I have never had a skin allergy to poison ivy before but I know pregnancy changes things. My husband discovered a posion out break on his arms tonight. While I don't have it that I can see now, I am being over paranoid and cautious not to get it from him. Has anyone had it while pregnant or have you never had it then gotten it while pregnant?

Good call. Lords, the last thing you need with all the other symptoms of pregnancy is to be all itchy.
If you do break out in a rash, wipe the area with alcohol, then before the alcohol dries sprinkle it with baking soda and cover it with a bandaid. This helped mine disappear without it spreading or getting worse. It takes at least a week to go away. I'm hyper allergic and super paranoid about ivy, so this is a slower healing process than the predisone packs I usually get (steroids), but I knew it was important to avoid that now that I'm pregnant.
Good luck! I pray you don't get it! And yes, wash EVERYTHING!
