New allergies?

Anyone else develop new allergies since delivery? Apparently it's fairly common or so Dr. Google tells me.

Prior to pregnancy I wasn't allergic to anything that I knew of. Since pregnancy I've had major reactions to two medications (one being the mini pill) and tonight I broke out in hives again I think due to a TINY bit of shrimp.

We went to a taste of the town event and I ate several common foods from restaurants I know. After tasting an Alfredo dish (from macaroni grill) I noticed a shrimp. Since I don't like it I picked it out and ate like two more bites of the pasta before tossing it. I thought it was their regular Alfredo sauce with shrimp tossed in. I don believe it was a shrimp sauce. That's the only thing out of the normal I can think that I encountered today.

Starting to wonder at what point should I see an allergist. This was mild but I only had a couple bites. The medication reaction was severe to the point of needing high dose steroid injections to help with breathing.

    Yep, I have eaten subway.. same everything for years. I got allergic to it 2 months PP. Broke out in crazy ass hives the two times I tried. I actually had subway for the first time today since and only broke out in one place...so it is going away somewhat.

    My sister became allergic to penicillin postpartum. That one was fun to figure out!

    I've never had an allergy to anything - not even any seasonal allergies - but after pregnancy I've developed an allergy to mustard. Allergist confirmed and now I have to carry an epi-pen. At first I thought, no big deal, but mustard is in so many things! Pickles, salad dressings, curries, BBQ sauce... Sucks!!! :(( ETA: mustard greens, potato salad, sausage...

    A girlfriend of mine had no allergies pre pregnancy. Now she suffers very badly from seasonal allergies. She also can't eat most fresh fruit without having a reaction. Her daughter is 5 now.
