I'm 7 weeks pregnant and suddenly developed horrible hives all over my arms and legs.. do they go away after my body is use to the hormone change?

Please get checked: Do not assume this is pregnancy related as it would be an extremely unusual reaction. You need to be checked for infectious and allergic causes.

Possibly: Pregnancy can cause all sorts of hormonal and other changes. Cetirizine and Loratadine are pregnancy class b, so these can be safely used during the pregnancy if the hives do not resolve on their own within a short period of time. Your OB and allergist can work together to help in this circumstance.
