Weird one but is anyone else getting eaten alive by bugs?!

In the last couple of weeks, I've become a magnet for bugs. Can't see them, but I wake up every morning covered in new bites. I'm heavily pregnant so reluctant to use deet if I can help it, but I saw some stuff about Skin So Soft having some mild efficacy as an insect repellant so I doused myself in that and woke up with no fresh bites on the body but loads all over my face and neck. I do not look well 😩

Nobody else in my household has any bites on them. Is this a pregnancy thing? Are bugs more attracted to us?! Just wondering if anyone can relate or has any tips on pregnancy-safe ways to keep them at bay!

Maybe get some netting to block the windows/close windows earlier in the day to prevent them coming in/spray with bug killer the bedroom a couple hours before you use the room to sleep in, so anything in there is dead...

Just that time of year unfortunately. Where I work we are selling out of bite cream as fast as we get it in. My daughter has been bitten loads this year but no one else in the house has. Really strange.
