Postpartum allergies: Anyone else dealing with this?
in Women's Health ·
Just bumping this thread again... honestly, I’m one of those "lucky" ones who ended up with a nasty allergy right after giving birth. I’ve got this horrible hives situation going on, pretty much looks like that photo someone posted earlier. I took some meds for two days just to get it under control, but since I'm breastfeeding, I'd way rather try to fix this naturally if possible. It seems like most people just get over it on their own, right? But an allergy to what????????? This hit me 18 days postpartum, right after having a C-section with spinal anesthesia. Is there actually a connection between epidurals, spinal blocks, and allergies? Or am I just overthinking it? Then again, your body is so completely wrecked after childbirth that basically any weird reaction feels like it could be happening.
