Dry skin on bump

Hey ladies! Hope you're all well. I'm now 39 weeks and 2 days and have just noticed my bump looks really dry and has lots of loose skin. It gets moisturised every evening and it doesn't itch at all so I'm a bit confused.

Any ideas?

Thanks, love charlotte. X

I've also just had the most horrible night of stabbing cramps in my back and sides and going down to my pelvic floor, every hour. They've stopped now, but I got myself so worked up I've now got a really bad headache. X

Bless you, bad nights are the worst. Try and rest yourself up today and hopefully you will feel better. I got the dry skin on my breasts and Neutrogena worked wonders, but olive oil is brilliant too. X

I've been using the palmers cocoa butter, which has worked so far. Bump is fine again today. Weird. I'm having a lazy day watching DVDs curled up on the sofa with my duvet. Haha. X

Sounds wonderful! :) lazy days are brilliant, and you and your little one deserve to rest. Hope you're feeling better now and you've not had any more bad nights x

Slept fab last night. 😊 woke up to find the boyfriend broke my car last night, so he's on a mission to fix it today, fingers crossed he gets it sorted and I don't go in to labour! 🙈 typical. I'm just sat in the garden relaxing. 😊
