Why Your "Normal" pregnancy & postpartum Symptoms Aren’t Normal
You’re told pregnancy and postpartum come with a long list of “normal” symptoms—heartburn, nausea, fatigue, bloating, mood swings.
But what if they’re not normal? What if they’re symptoms of histamine overload and gut dysfunction?
Histamine & Pregnancy:
Histamine isn’t just about allergies. It affects digestion, hormones, blood pressure, mood, and inflammation.
During pregnancy, histamine levels fluctuate dramatically, and some women struggle to break it down effectively. This can trigger a range of symptoms that are often dismissed as “normal pregnancy discomforts.”
Common Pregnancy Symptoms Linked to Histamine & Gut Imbalances:
Reflux, heartburn & nausea – Histamine can increase stomach acid after meals/eating and slow digestion.
Headaches & migraines – Linked to histamine intolerance and vascular instability.
Temperature dysregulation – Feeling too hot or cold? Histamine affects blood flow.
Brain fog, memory issues & poor concentration – A histamine-related inflammatory response in the brain.
Fatigue & mood swings – Histamine imbalance affects cortisol, neurotransmitters & energy production.
Dizziness & vertigo – Often caused by histamine's impact on circulation and blood pressure.
Pre-eclampsia & hypertension – Research suggests histamine can contribute to high blood pressure in pregnancy.
Bloating & bowel changes – Histamine can disrupt gut motility, causing constipation and/or diarrhea.
Uterine cramps & pelvic pain – Linked to histamine's role in smooth muscle contraction.
Heart palpitations & shortness of breath – Histamine affects circulation and airway function.
Insomnia – High histamine levels at night can keep you awake.
Increased pain sensitivity – Histamine can amplify nerve sensitivity.
Oedema & swelling – Histamine increases vascular permeability, leading to fluid retention.
Skin flushing, itching, rosacea & hives – Classic signs of histamine intolerance.
Impaired lactation – Histamine imbalance can interfere with milk production.
Reduced stress resistance – Low resilience to stress is linked to histamine’s impact on cortisol.
Food intolerances & sensitivities – A weakened gut barrier allows histamine to build up.
Postpartum & Histamine:
Pregnancy is only half the story. Postpartum, your DAO enzyme (which breaks down histamine) drops significantly while your gut struggles to recover from birth. This can leave you even more reactive to histamine than during pregnancy!
Postpartum Histamine Symptoms Linked to Histamine & Gut Imbalances:
Bloating, reflux & food reactions that suddenly appear
Anxiety, panic, mood swings & depression that don’t feel hormonal
Heart palpitations & dizziness that make you feel unstable
Hives, itching & skin flushing that come and go
Insomnia & exhaustion that no amount of rest can fix
Breastfeeding challenges due to histamine’s effect on prolactin
Your body isn’t broken. It’s inflamed, depleted, and overwhelmed by histamine. And the key to feeling better starts in your gut.
