Pregnancy is a very important period for women. During this period, pregnant women need to pay special attention to their bodies, especially to avoid getting sick as much as possible.

Some women develop hives during pregnancy. So, what should we do if we have urticaria during pregnancy?

Symptoms of urticaria during early pregnancy

Pregnancy urticaria is a type of urticaria that occurs during pregnancy. Generally, expectant mothers who are pregnant with twins or are pregnant for the first time are more likely to develop pregnancy urticaria. Symptoms of pregnancy urticaria are similar to those of common urticaria, mainly itching, lumps, redness and large patches of rash. This type of urticaria mainly appears in the expectant mother's abdomen, thighs, buttocks, etc. It usually heals itself after delivery, and the chance of pregnancy urticaria occurring during the next pregnancy is relatively small.

How to treat pregnancy urticaria

1. Drug therapy

If a pregnant mother develops urticaria of pregnancy after pregnancy, it is best not to use medication to treat it. However, if urticaria of pregnancy is developed in the late pregnancy, medication can be used for treatment.

This medicine can be used for treatment.

When pregnant, the mother's physical condition is rather special. Generally, she can suppress the symptoms of urticaria and reduce the occurrence of urticaria by paying attention to some details in life. Pregnant mothers should try to wear less stuffy and non-breathable clothes, and less clothes that easily irritate the skin. They should keep their skin dry at all times. After taking a shower, they can apply some mild body lotion to relieve the symptoms of urticaria.
