Not sure: Itching is a common symptom of pregnancy but is more common in later stages. The presence of hives is not typical for pregnancy. This could be due to a number of things - hormonal changes, infection, or allergy. Treatment with Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or zyrtec may help. If symptoms do not resolve, see your doctor.
