Mi viene la pelle d'oca...


Explanation:
si riferisce a I get goosebumps. But I don't have a clue for expectants. Mi viene da pensare alle donne incinte, ma non saprei dire se le donne in questa condizione abbiano di frequente la pelle d'oca tanto da farne un modo di dire... ;-)

Assolutamente d\'accordo con Cristina: sarà che forse sto alla frutta ma a volte sfuggono proprio i significati + palesi ;-)
