allergy after pregnant

Has anyone developed an allergy whilst the were pregnant? During the end of my pregnancy I became allergic to my wedding rings which are white gold, I thought they might just need to be re coated but I still have a reaction. I then stated to wear them and my necklace bit now my neck has had a reaction. Is this common

You can develop allergies at anytime in life. So although for example you can be stung by a bee in childhood and not had a problem and then be stung as an adult and be allergic. In pregnancy the body does seem to go caffluey (proper medical term of course lol) I developed dermatitis during pregnancy but haven't had it since.

Yes... Milk for some reason and after bub I could drink it again - my throat would swell up. Very strange!

Yep I have a reaction to white gold now. It comes and goes so I mostly just put up with it because I hate taking my wedding rings off. I also think I've developed an intolerance to either gluten or lactose, currently on an elimination diet to find out which one.
