MUM REVEALS PREGNANCY ALLERGY

A first-time mum has told how she was allergic to her unborn baby after she developed an angry red rash all over her body. Jessica Williams, 23, of Waterlooville, Hampshire, watched the rash fade before her eyes minutes after she’d given birth. Unfortunately the full-time mum suffered a host of problems while pregnant with daughter, Ivy, now six months, including blood clots and severe morning sickness. Jessica says: “It was like my unborn baby was trying to kill me. “The rash was unbearably itchy and it would keep me awake at night. “But I was relieved that Ivy was born healthy despite my eventful pregnancy.”
