Weirdest pregnancy symptom/side effect?

msronzio · August 2013

Just for fun... What is, in your opinion, your weirdest symptom?

I find it odd that I have new beauty marks and my cuts don't heal.

Same here!

Lesley726 · August 2013

Not have to shave nearly as much!

janelleashu · August 2013

The crazy dreams!

Bellodomani · August 2013

I would say either how clear my skin has been, or how infrequently I have to shave. Both very welcome side effects!

Luckymomma4 · August 2013

I tan very easily. I never have done well in that department until now. I should also add that sunscreen hasn't worked very well on my skin this summer and I also burn.

PrettyInPearls23 · August 2013

I only think this is weird because I didn't have it with DS (maybe because I was a FTM?) but sometimes when LO kicks me, I pee a little bit. Annoying.

I also find I'm having to shave less.

Babybabybabyohhhhhhh · August 2013

I have the darkening armpits too, which sucks.
I know it's common, but mine has to be all the hair on my belly. I think it's so weird

Jenmarie279 · August 2013

I don't have to shave as much and my freckles have gotten darker.

ksf13 · August 2013

I scar easily. I had a bug bite on my belly a few months ago and there is still a spot there. So annoying.

SweetPeaK26 · August 2013

I have a single dark freckle on my face that has appeared in the lat 2 months or so. It's is my only face freckle.

foxyroxy · August 2013

Optical migraines, which I am counting as weird because they don't hurt but they do cause me to lose my vision.

michelle7482 · August 2013

Shaving less for me too.

me too!

Kristonita12 · August 2013

My face has so many new freckles!!!

DaisyZH · August 2013

Varicose vein on my groin - did not have that with DS!

This also! Suddenly I realized I wasn't getting pimples, wtf? It's the opposite of first tri when I looked like a pepperoni pizza. I don't have to shave legs as much but everything else is normal. Thanks pregnancy.

I suddenly noticed TWO on my neck. I'm italian so I have olive skin and I am not tan by any means nor do I stay in the sun for very long.

Out of everything I'm super depressed about the scarring. I'm advised that 100% aloe applied every day helps it go away. I'd seriously rather have stretch marks than these stupid scar craters..

Jilly82 · August 2013

Ummmm... Did anyone else's nips get way darker?!? I drool when sleeping(never have) and I have a ton more freckles

msronzio · August 2013

@Jilly82 LOL definitely! And unfortunately I read somewhere that they stay that way!! Noooooo...

When I heard about the drooling symptom I thought it was bullshit. Now I wake up in a puddle even when I try to position myself so that I don't drool..

Jilly82 · August 2013

@msronzio no!!!! I hate how they look so much. I'm so embarrassed by them! Thank god I'm not a stripper

LMAO

Well, then again some women's linea negras never go away, even though they're supposed to.. Maybe our poor nips will go back to normal after all. Fingers crossed.

Editing to add that my bellybutton hasn't popped but it's completely flat and where my piercing used to be it's darker than my nipples. Ew. There's also some kind of what looks to be a satanic circle around my whole bellybutton. Ugh

LiveNLove44 · August 2013

Definitely the vivid dreams for me. The most welcome symptom has been slow growing leg hair!

AlejandraN2 · August 2013

I've lasered off a few areas on my body including my tummy (what can i tell you we're Greek, we come hairy) and they had all disappeared. Well now with pregnancy, i get some odd sprouts of single hairs here and there on my tummy which i haven't had in years.

Also, throbbing vagina because of varicose veins down there.

And oh, as far as I know i've never snored in my life unless i had a severe cold. But the other day my hubby told me I snored that night - I'm horrified! I think it's all the extra weight or uncomfortableness. Seems like it was an isolated incident but man i hope that goes away after this baby girl comes.

leanne.matt · August 2013

Carpal tunnel!

curlyq625 · August 2013

Varicose vein on my labia! I've never even had one on my leg let alone my vagina!!! I sure hope it goes away after birth, I liked things just the way they were.

csspencer · August 2013

My hairy stomach and super dark and big areolas

JLMcWeeney · August 2013

My boobs getting so big! I knew they would get bigger, but I didn't realize how much bigger!
And leaking nipples! I thought that wouldn't happen until either late in pregnancy or after birth. No. I started leaking months ago.

happybride 276 · August 2013

I accidentally flagged msronzio. I'm sorry. I was trying to open the thread and I thought my phone didn't sense my first tap, but apparently it did. I'm sorry! I feel like a jerk. I selected the flag again thinking it would undo my flag, but I am not sure how that works.

VitaLuna · August 2013

Extremely painful joints in my hands/fingers with numbness/tingling sometimes.. I have trouble gripping things, holding silverware, writing, etc. Unfortunately, it hasn't gone away for weeks, not even just for a few hours, so I'm thinking it's here to stay.

I also had very sensitive teeth until 20 wks or so.

Albertsgirl1982 · August 2013

Constipation and vivid dreams.

pescadora712 · August 2013

Skin tags and tingly fingers. What gives?!

My nips got really dark with DS and they did lighten up after I stopped nursing. This is one symptom that doesn't bother me so much, it's not like they are ever on display or anything and it doesn't bother DH at all.

Ditto on the drooling. My pillow gets soaked every night and I just keep flipping it over.

Haha that's ok! I think it took it away. I wish I could see where my abuse points come from in profile but apparently I can't, but I was just curious and looking at them today.

sapphire0228 · August 2013

The nipple darkening is not cool but ill get over it. The most annoying symptoms are Restless Leg Syndrome and the relentless heartburn.

msronzio · August 2013

lol, if I started a thread for annoying symptoms it would end up being 10 pages long.

Ntymec · August 2013

-carpal tunnel that makes me wake up with my hand stuck in a claw
- veracose vein on my clitoris... Yup you read that right
- seeing flashing lights and having optical migraines. Who needs peripheral vision anyway?

Ugh....

seaheather24 · August 2013

signifigantly larger nipples! hope they go back to normal size later, I read it happens so the baby can find them?

JamieWM · August 2013

waking up with knuckles that won't bend for a few minutes, my eye sight changes, the acne I had so badly....I think there are more haha

JdLB82 · August 2013

I used to have very oily skin but since being pregnant my skin has zero oil at all. I got my eyebrows waxed/dyed a couple months ago and it was terrifying. My girl always makes them darker than normal (I have extremely light eyebrows...like almost non-existent and my natural hair colour is brown) and usually by the next day after washing my face and I guess my bodies natural oils it tones down the dye, this time it took over a week, and that was with an increased amount of face washing, I even scrubbed my eyebrows. HAHA it was scary.

Also my hair stays abnormally clean for a long time. I could easily go 1 week without washing my hair. It doesn't look dirty, doesn't feel dirty and doesn't smell dirty, I can still smell my shampoo. Not that I'm complaining.

I have also noticed the healing time of scratches or bites taking longer.

jlp0528 · August 2013

Feeling like someone kicked me in my pelvis from the pressure being so painful. Legit feels like a steel toe boot kicked me there. Not being able to bend fingers after first waking up for awhile. And just because it SUCKED being constipated forever!
