The signs of an apricot allergy in pregnant women are similar to typical fruit allergies and can range from mild to severe. Common symptoms include:
- Itching or swelling in the face, lips, mouth, throat, or tongue
- Digestive discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea
- Skin reactions like rash, hives, or dermatitis
- Respiratory symptoms such as coughing, itchy or runny nose
- In severe cases, anaphylaxis symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, and swelling in the airway requiring immediate medical attention
Pregnant women prone to allergies should be cautious and consult a healthcare provider before adding apricots to their diet, especially if they have a history of fruit or pollen allergies.
In summary, watch for itching, swelling, digestive upset, skin rash, or breathing problems after eating apricots as signs of a potential allergy during pregnancy. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
