Allergic only when pregnant?

I have always used the same hand cream for a couple of years. It doesn't have any fragrance in it, just Eucerin Hand Cream. My hands have been pretty dry because of this below zero winter and the last few times I have used it, the tops of my hands have started to burn terribly and would break out & turn really red & blotchy. Can I now be allergic since I'm pregnant?

I ended up switching to aveeno to during my pregnancy, you can get two large bottles for $11 at Costco!

That is so crazy you can eat those foods again. I guess I'm gonna have to switch hand creams.

Yes,  the hormones can change allergies,  not all of them will return after baby is born either :-( when I was pregnant with my daughter I suddenly became allergic to avocados and bananas.  But I lost my regular sinus allergies which were horrendous.  For 8 years I lived like that.  Until I had my son which gave me back avocados and banana.  :)  I also still don't have my regular allergies although during the pregnancy they were awful.

I had the same problem with my body wash used it forever and got pregnant and started getting rashes. I had to switch to aveeno and haven't had any problems since.
