Just needed a little moan and hoping to get some advice too..

I am 22+5 and I just can't get comfy at night, and when I do, it's taken me about half an hour. No matter how many pillows or blankets, it's quite an achievement when I turn over too. My bump isn't 'huge' but it's pretty big, well compared to my normal figure!

Also, I have 2 patches of dry skin on my face.. I don't wear tonnes of make-up but I feel like I need to just to try and hide it. I have tried numerous creams and mosturisers and it won't go away. It doesn't itch or anything, just a tiny but red and sooo dry. :(

Blooming in pregnancy? Pfffft.

I have a huge patch of dry skin, just on the left side of my top lip. Looks like I've had some terrible waxing accident. I've been moisturising it all weekend and it still looks dry and scabby. To cap it all, my friend has asked me to look after her shop today, so I can't hide myself away.
And I went to bed at 1am, and woke up at 5.30 needing a wee, then couldn't get comfy/back to sleep again.

I feel your pain!

I'm 31+5 today and still haven't "bloomed", I don't have a glow, I just look and feel like shit...just over 8 weeks to go though and I'm terrified!

Can't help with the sleeping thing - it's a very personal issue.

Can recommend doublebase though for dry skin. It truly is amazing. It feels really thick and gloopy so don't use it before you go out (unless you like rocking the belisha beacon look) but slather yourself in it at night.
Think it's OTC only (I get it on prescription for eczema). HTH
