About a week ago DH and I both noticed the back of my ankles were orange. Yesterday it was much worse and it's between my toes! I racked my brain but I seriously only wear flip flops these days and haven't been using a new lotion or soap. So I looked it up. Hormones!! This baby is turning me orange!!

Wow! I knew that hormones can discolor the skin, but I didn't know they could turn it orange. At least you're in the home stretch.

Are you eating lots of carrots too? I've heard that can do it as well!

At least you're so close to the end so it shouldn't last too much longer.

Nope, no carrots, no squash. It's so weird and really noticeable in the sunlight. The worse part is it kinda looks like cheap fake tanning cream. Lovely, just lovely. I hope it stays on my feet and doesn't pop up anywhere else. I don't want orange knees!!

OMG! i have that too. I have lots of european blood and do not tan. We went on vacation and i got some sun. My feet turned orange around my flip flop lines and they rest of me is still pastey lol. I figured it was just a weird quirk, didn't even think about hormones.

At least I'm not the only oompa loompa. I have some tan lines on the top of my feet where I wear flip flops outside all the time but between my toes and behind my ankles looks like I've been rolling in Cheetos.

Have you been rolling in cheetos? That sounds like a wonderful pregnant lady dream.

We already share our super weird rib pain, I hope we don't end up sharing this too. I've had enough bad spray tans, I don't want a permanent one (until she's born that is)!
