T.J. asked in Pregnancy & ParentingPregnancy · 1 decade ago

Can pregnancy bring out new allergies?

I've never heard of this being the case, but I'm throwing it out there anyway. I've never sneezed so often in my life as I have in these past seven weeks. I know my body's going through a lot of changes but could this actually be one? Could I have found a new allergy? If so I need to figure out what it is because it's driving me crazy.

    LOL!! I have sneezed more in the last 2 months than I have in my whole life combined!!! Pregnancy thins out the mucus in our bodies..everywhere...So our noses are runnier and we sneeze more often....Not necessarily new allergies...but definitely a symptom of pregnancy. If it gets too bothersome you can ask your health care provider about it. Best of luck!

    I wouldnt call them new allergies but I know that pregnancy heightens allergies something serious. I have had cats all my life, but when im pregnant I cant stand to be in the same room as one. I also know that im allergic to grass, however when pregnant its serious! I cant even walk in grass without breaking out everywhere!
