What weird things changed for you?

OK,besides the huge a$$, hips, belly, heartburn, bowel issues and all that crap....

I have noticed that my kinda wavy hair is now super kinky curly! Well, except the crown. That went straight as a board. Figures. And my previously long eyelashes all fell out and came in short. Weird.

What has changed for you?

Oh gosh the list is heinously long.

1. my gums bleed EVERY time I brush them... I've never had problems with my gums

2. Acne, so much acne and everywhere (face, jaw line, neck, chest, back, in my scalp?!!).. I miss my clear skin and being able to go out with just a little mascara and eyeliner and feeling attractive

3. SHOES, i can't get my foot into anything besides flip flops anymore. I even went so far as to get double wide with velcro expanding sandals that cost 80 bucks... and my feet barely fit in those now too. I miss my shoes i used to be such a shoe addict

They say some women get thicker hair, i can't say i've noticed any change in thickness, but my thyroid levels are in the toilet right now, which means my hair and nails aren't growing very well.

An abundance of black chin hairs, so gross. However, my eyebrows don't need as much shaping as they used to.

For me it's mostly that my torso (boobs and belly) are starting to resemble the Venus of Willendorf while the rest of me looks pretty much the same. I feel out of proportion (though I have to admit it's nice to finally have some cleavage)!

Just vision changes for me. It kind of blows, because I had lasik to correct my horrible, horrible vision and now it's blurry.

OK, I'm still so early so I know I have nothing to complain about... but I've noticed that my ears are clogged. I can't clear them and its so annoying. I've read that its due to an increase in fluids in the body.... and that it can stay with you the entire pregnancy. Lovely. Tongue Tied

My nose constantly runs and I blow (warning TMI) bloody snot - HUH?! It's like a painfree sinus infection or something!

I get this too. I had to stop taking my prescription allergy medication for the pregnancy, so i'm always blowing my nose or sneezing.

Due to all the excess blood from being pregnant, i frequently get nose bleeds, it's right up there with the bleeding gums!

I've been dealing with this since November too.

It was extra frustrating before I revealed the pregnancy to coworkers because of course I worried that they were all annoyed with me for coming to work sick with something and putting them at risk.

I go from one extreme to the other. One minute my nose is running constantly. The next, I'm so congested that I can't breathe. My prescription allergy meds, allergy shots, and steroid nasal sprays aren't working. I'm addicted to Afrin.

Other than that - I have the acne from hell. My hips started hurting around 10 or 12 weeks and my hair seems more frizzy (that could be new shampoo though).

My nose is always stuffy. My boobs are super huge. My nails grow at bionic speed.

Ditto! I'm tweezing on the daily .. I plucked one that was an inch long Tongue Tied

Also, I used to go weekly for eyebrow waxing .. more like once a month now.

Some book said my skin WILL get oilier Mine got drier (but in my case, that's good)

I've also heard my hair will grow faster; mine is actually growing mire slowly, including eyebrows. Weird.

My gag reflex has gone haywire. I even had to postpone a dental checkup.

1. Major pregnancy brain...I'll check out for a good 2 to 5 minutes; makes business meetings a little awkward.

2.The worst varicose veins...I look like a topology map on my left leg and have a purple foot.
