Could Hives Be An Early Symptom Of Pregnancy?

Hi, my name is janice. Recently I started getting hives all over my body. My period was due today but did not show. But before my missed period I took two pregnancy test both came back negative. Is hives an early pregnancy symptom? If not what do you think caused them? I have not changed anything in my diet. Thank you.

Hi hives is not an early pregnancy symptom.You may be allergic to anything not only something in diet but it can be in air, some viral infection or from clothes, anything, difficult to locate. You can consult a dr. and take anti histaminics but if pregnancy comes to be positive then still more care and investigations required, as rash in early pregnancy is not a good sign.
Thanks.
