I had a reaction when I wore a shirt that my MIL washed for me, so not my regular detergent. I'd try running those pants through the wash again with no detergent to see if that makes a difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-skin-sensitivityallergies-when-pregnant#post-2092517 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 10:25:21 +0000 .twist. 2092517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is definitely possible. I became allergic to apple/pear/plum skins while pregnant. Now, even after pregnancy, I am still allergic to it unless it's cooked/baked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-skin-sensitivityallergies-when-pregnant#post-2092427 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 09:45:46 +0000 macintosh 2092427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's definitely possible. I have a lot of skin sensitives and my eczema really flared up at the beginning of pregnancy.</p> <p>You might try switching to a gentler detergent. A few years ago I bought a new detergent (some version of tide) and ended up with a rash covering both legs from residue on my work pants. I changed to Method and I've been ok since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-skin-sensitivityallergies-when-pregnant#post-2092393 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 09:21:25 +0000 mrsjyw 2092393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin is super sensitive during pregnancy. Itchy, dry skin patches randomly that come and go. And Blotchy red skin reactions to products randomly too. Thankfully, it usually goes away within hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-skin-sensitivityallergies-when-pregnant#post-2092389 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 09:20:10 +0000 autumnlove 2092389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin has been super sensitive during this pregnancy. My skin has been reacting to my regular products and certain fabrics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-skin-sensitivityallergies-when-pregnant#post-2092367 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 09:03:22 +0000 ValentineMommy 2092367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same exact thing as @blackbird. I am super prone to heat rash while pregnant, and I get a REALLY bad, itchy one on the inside crease part of one of my elbows. It itches soooooo bad!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-skin-sensitivityallergies-when-pregnant#post-2092002 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 19:22:11 +0000 blackbird 2092002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skin gets psychotic while I'm pregnant. Mostly I'm super prone to heat rash but things generally irritate my skin more. Maybe try an extra rinse cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/increased-skin-sensitivityallergies-when-pregnant#post-2091972 Mon, 02 Mar 2015 18:30:09 +0000 owlteach 2091972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left my cell at work, but will call my Dr's office when DH gets home. Anyways, this morning I put on jeans (which I wear EVERY day) and within 5 minutes I had a rash at least the size of a cell phone on the inside of each leg where the seam was. I have worn these jeans tons, they are my favorite because they are so comfy and we haven't changed laundry detergent. I changed into some polyster dress pants and the rashes never got any worse over the day, but were obviously sore. </p> <p>My bra also left red marks on my back today, and this is one of the new ones that is basically a sports bra that I bought a month ago when I was needing to buy bras for the second time this pregnancy. It is similar to a cooby, so not a whole lot of room for comfort issues. </p> <p>Did anyone else develop super sensitive skin like this? I'm afraid that I won't be able to wear my jeans for the next 3 months :( Any suggestions for things to help? </p>
