Itchy feet

I think that itchy feet was one of the worst parts of my pregnancy.  Worst of all was that no one could say why they were itchy as it wasn't obstetric cholestasis.  Maybe it was my body temperature as cooling my feet down really helped with the itch.

As keeping my feet cool calmed the itch socks were a no-no.  Even in the middle of winter.  I got a few strange looks wearing pumps when it was freezing out!  I often found it necessary to soak my feet in cold water to cool them down.

Every evening I started a ritual of soaking my feet in cold water that had dead sea salt minerals dissolved in it and I infused porridge oats through a tea strainer.  It was anything but a nice relaxing foot soak! 

Now I have lovely baby feet to kiss and tickle.
