    Hey guys, for me it is pg and weather related. Up in sunny Qld I get the worst static in june/july when there is virtually no humididty. It is gettting better now as it is starting to get muggier.
    I have also had it real bad in early stage of pg. but my skin was soooo dry. I couldnt put enough moisturiser on. (ps got super itchy as well for a while)

    I'm glad its not just me going nutty! Trying to tie my hair into pony tail is nightmare cause so staticy and I get scared to touch taps and car doors cause always zaps me! I wonder why tho it just started in pregnancy? I'd be interested to know.

    I got a lot of static electricity shocks whilst pregnant. Never worked out what it was. My hair wasn't an issue though but my skin was a little on the dry side early on. I have always had issues with shocks but it got worse during the 1st & 2nd tri. Bubs was born "normal" so I don't think it did anything to him. He's a very settled baby so it will be interesting to see if your bubs end up settled as well.

    Ooohh Satya I hope it means bubs will be settled, or at least helps!! I've never thought it was harming, or evening affecting bubs and I certainly hope it isn't. I've just been curious to know why it happens I'm going to ask my chiro next time I go, she seems to have answers for everything.

    This is the weirdest pg related thread but I love it! Years ago I used to get shocks but lately its just ridiculous. I never thought it was pg related until now! How funny!
