Hi,

Is this just weird or is there something wrong? I'm just 8 weeks.

I had really itchy calves and lower back at that point. I think it's hormones. Do mention it to your midwife at the booking appointment just to be on the safe side - I mentioned it to mine and she said it was nothing to worry about.

I got some calamine cream from the chemist which worked on my legs but for my back I needed something stronger so got E45 itch relief. The itching has got a bit better but I still need the cream every few days (now 19 weeks).
