    Static electricity when preg

    Its weird but I've found for quite a few weeks now I've been carrying alot more static electricity. Yes it sounds funny but I constantly get those little shocks when I touch things and when I brush my hair it frizzes out everywhere. (Like those ball things we had in science class in high school that you put your hands on so your hair stands up!)
    So just curious if anyone else is having same thing. I've not got new clothes or shoes or anything all same old stuff.

    I've had the same thing shellbell. I must look like an idiot when I get out of the car and I'm trying not to touch the door with my skin to avoid a shock!! Seems to have settled down a bit now though.

    I've had that for what seems like forever It's not pg related for me. I close my car door with my knee and to open our metal gate, for me, is nerve racking! I have even shocked dd on more than one occation. I wear lots of wool clothes, so I don't know if it might be that I just know that DH is constantly teasing me and letting me get out to open the gate ... idiot

    And some days are worse than others ... could it be weather related?

    Hello Everyone from the Lake District UK!!
    Ive had the same thing with static shocks and I cant find ANY information anywhere to say if they are dangerous to the baby??
    I guess from you guys on here they are pretty harmless??
    Any information anyone could give would be great
    Thanks

    OMG I can't believe I've never noticed this thread! This has been happening to me ever since I was preg also and I thought I was going mad and over exagerating but I'm so relieved to see it's quite normal!! It's like I have some weird extra electrical energy! When I take my clothes off it makes that horrible crispy buzzy sound (I don't know...that static electrical sound, ykwim ) and terrible when I brush my hair. I can't even use my favourite satin pillow case coz it bothers me so much!

    Well, glad to know I'm not the only one
