Bee stings while pregnant

Just got stung, 26 wks, should I be concerned? I don't take any medications, including benadryl, tylenol, etc.  I just have an ice pack.

You will be fine as long as ur not allergic .. I too got stung on my neck when I was like 4 months pregnant and did not know what to do .. it was my 2nd time getting stung in my life since I was like 9 .. but since I knew I wasn't allergic I just cleaned it with alcohol and within 2 days the swelling and stinging went away

I guess if I were allergic I would know by now.  The only thing that swelled up was my pinky where I got stung.  This is the first sting I've ever had in my life.

I don't have a doctor.  I have a midwife and I can text her, but I didn't wanna bother her bc the swelling was so minimal.  It just throbs and burns a little when I take the ice pack off.

I think only if you're allergic to them, then you should be concerned. If not then you and baby are fine. If you're worried about it just call your dr office and ask to speak to a nurse about it.
