Can an allergy test be done during pregnancy?
In principle it is possible to carry out an allergy test during pregnancy. If a pregnant woman is suspected of having an allergy, she should consult a doctor to have it diagnosed. However, only blood tests are carried out during pregnancy.
If a prick test or other skin test is performed, there is a minimal risk of an extremely severe allergic reaction with anaphylactic shock. In order to prevent this risk, no skin test is usually performed during pregnancy to diagnose an allergy.
