I am 22 weeks along and for the last three days have broke out in horribly itchy hives on my legs, thighs and a bit on my stomach. The doctor told me to take Benedryl which I will get when the pharmacy opens tomorrow. For now I have to suffer with it. What causes it and is there anything I can do to ease them until tomorrow when I can get the benedryl?
Also could stress cause them? I have been pretty stressed out and anxious lately or is it something I ate?

So, do antihistamines/allergy meds actually work for stress hives? I’ve been on Prednizone since Wednesday night, with the occasional dose of Benadryl whenever I find new hives. Now, I just found a new patch of hives on my arm. They haven’t really turned into red welts, just a few raised dots. I found another one on my chest earlier, waited an hour, saw that it was beginning to go away, and took a Benadryl anyway, to speed the process. At any rate, should I still be getting them?
