OMFG. I can't take it anymore. I'm due in a week and I can't take these hives. My feet are the worst. On top of them being swollen, they're covered in itchy, burning, red bumps. It looks as though my body has been attacked by fireants and that's about how it feels. I don't want to be induced because most women don't dialate fully and need a c-section. I don't think induction is fair for the baby, or myself. But, I know if my doctor took one look at me, he would schedule one for me. I've heard that the hives go away immediately after delivery. Has anyone else or someone you know had this experience so I'll be better at getting through this?

BTW... I've tried EVERYTHING. A&D, antihystamine, aloe vera, and calamine. Nothing works. I've heard that delivery is the only thing that will take it away.

At 39 weeks, induction is perfectly safe! You NEED to get in to the doctors office or the hospital! Hives are NOT a normal part of late pregnancy!
I was induced at 38 weeks and had a normal vaginal delivery (with the exception of a narrow pelvic passage, but that's another story).
Hives are your body's response to an allergen - something is MAKING those, and you need to be assessed. Besides putting yourself at risk, you're endangering your baby as well!

my sister had some kind of rash all over her body for her entire pregnancy. She got a prescription from the doctor for some cream and I think it helped a bit. It also went away after the delivery. I'd go to the doctor and see what he says. There may be something he can prescribe. Good Luck!

I've known a couple women who have gotten an itchy rash during pregnancy. their doc said to use the cortizone cream and if that doesn't help they can prescribe a stronger steroid cream. try using wet rags on your feet and where ever else the rash is to ease the itching. Also take a bath in aveeno oatmeal bath. Good luck and I wish you a happy healthy delivery and baby!

My daughter in law got a rash a few weeks before she delivered, but it went away right before she had the baby.
