On Saturday i was bitten several times on my ankle and also over my legs by mozzies. Yesterday my ankle became swollen. I had also had a bad reaction the week before when bitten by mozzies, which went away after a few days so just thought it was the same. However the pain is excruciating. So today after walking around a bit at the shops, my ankle started to really hurt. I went to the chemist who gave me some Sigmacort cream to put on it and also calamine lotion for the other ones. Tonight after removing my bandaid it looked terrible. DH convinced me to go to the after hours clinic, where i was told it was definately infected. The doctor gave me antibiotics for it and said if it gets worse in the next 24 hours to come back and i may need to be admitted to hospital on a drip. Ive been laying on the lounge since i got home (about 3 hours ago now) and now whenever i get up i can hardly walk on my foot.. i just get a shooting pain when i stand on it.

Just wondering if this has every occured to anyone else while pregnant? Im currently 26 weeks. Im normally a magnet for mozzies but have never had a reaction this bad to them.

TIA
