    Can't believe it's still not yet midnight - feel like I've fitted loads into this evening, even if that' only consisted of a tidying spree, going out for tea and now a really nice nap :)

    tara, yes I did (earlier, before I went out), thankyou.. I meant to google it - will do now. That said, I don't think it's worrying itching, just more dry skin type. It's only when I take my trousers off and get into bed, like when they're exposed, when it itches, not all the time :) Will still google it now just to be sure.

    caz, am loving your complete dedication to the thread and keeping us updated! :D Very well done and lots of congrats! How is your OH and how have the older ones taken to it all? :) Lots of love to you all xxx
  • :j Congratulations, Caz!!! :j

    Hope you and your daughter are well! :D


    I have only just logged on - LOTS of pages to catch up on! :rotfl:.

    Hugs to all who need them.

    Hmm.. I think tara is thinking of Obstetric Cholestasis.

    I'm still thinking it's just a dryness, random itching thing, but having read a bit about OC (and too many mentions of the horrible "s" word), I'll phone my midwife tomorrow :) If I'm going to need a blood test, I'd best get it in before my hols!

    Thankyou tara! :o

    Elle She prob won't bother with the test if she looks at it and it looks like standard pregnancy dry skin, I think that you would be constantly scratching if it was oc,
    better safe than sorry tho :) x

    Thank goodness it's winter - my legs look a mess right now! :o I've got my trouser legs rolled up, was just rubbing in E45 lotion again. Just looks like shaving rash with lots of little pinpricks of blood showing where I've scratched - eeeewwww! :cool: (although it wasn't shaving rash which started it, just looks like it)

    And, on that delightful note(!), night Sami! xx

    Good morning :)

    Up early as DH had to leave early for the office bless him - so had a little snooze till the bin men arrived and were really noisy and then I had my cornflakes :)

    Just pondering on what to do before starting on todays work... Might do a little looking for a nice get away for me and DH for a weekend - something luxurious but not too pricey lol. And not too far from home as I don't relish getting there and not being able to walk for the weekend lol
