Most random pregnancy "symptom"?

AMcLaws · February 2014

What's your most random pregnancy symptom? It doesn't necessarily have to be something than would be classified as a symptom.
For example: when I was pregnant with DD, I developed an ingrown toenail that kept insisting on coming back. My feed didn't change size, and the problem stopped after I had DD. With this LO, I have one sneezing fit every single day. Never had one like this daily prior to being pregnant. It's the most random thing!!

TRS48 · February 2014

Sneezing here too! Ive never sneezed so often in my life!

hgtvmom · February 2014

I seem to have grown and extra lump.
If I sit down, the lump appears. Some days it's a long lump that crosses my entire belly. Others it is a smaller, more manageable lump. ;-)

colorsplashstudio · February 2014

Ha yes def sneezing and random teeth sensitivity...not my gums really but my teeth. I never knew pregnancy messed with your mouth.

cakebatter27 · February 2014

Tiny purple veins on my left boob only.

Sometimes the right side of my labia feels swollen.

A "heavy" feeling. Like the baby will just fall out if I don't hold my stomach running.

MississippiCatfish · February 2014

With DS, I had a red splotch on my nose about the size of a pencil eraser. I was worried that it would appear again and give this PG away before I was ready, but it hasn't shown up!

cuntasaurusrex · February 2014

Shooting asshole pains, hands down. I jumped the other day like I'd been hit with a teeny-tiny red-hot fire poker in the sting ring and DH doubled over laughing when I told him what it was.

ghostof5letters · February 2014

I had it with my last pregnancy but not this one (so far), but I'm still mentioning it. Last time, my bump felt sunburnt for the entire duration of the pregnancy. It was the strangest feeling in the world and isolated to only my bump.

Mister told me my nipples smelled weird last night. Then asked me when my last shower was. (Which was yesterday midday). Wtf?

And why was he smelling them in the first place?

Skeemer · February 2014

I have bursitis in my hips every single time I've been pregnant & it is bursitis from HELL.

There is a lot of things going on here that I'm fascinated and afraid of.

Stephanie Pennay · February 2014

Bursitis in hips too, nipple smell here (gross), and I have blood vessels that have ruptured on my face! Barely can cover with makeup too

middleschoolmommy · February 2014

Well, this was weird for me. I was lactose intolerant for 6 weeks. PP I would have milk, yogurt, and cheese just about daily with no issues. Then one day, after a bowl of cereal, I got the sickest I ever was during all the m/s I had. I couldn't have ANY dairy without being miserable the rest of the day. Finally, I caved and ate some ice cream after over a month with no dairy and I was fine. Back to normal since then, and I hope it stays that way!

Also, my carpel tunnel has flared up something fierce. I'm pretty sure it has to do with how my sleeping position has changed, but every single night I end up having to get an ice pack for my wrist to be able to go back to sleep. This is WITH a wrist brace.

Eener31 · February 2014

A sharp pain in the top of my right foot. It comes and goes. I have no idea what that's about!

Stacigirl413 · February 2014

With DS I developed carpal tunnel in my right wrist. After I have birth to him it went away a few weeks later LOL. I also developed a numbness on the top left side of my stomach (thought it was my gallbladder but it wasn't) still had not 100% gone away!

GoodSpirit8511 · February 2014

For some reason the right side of my face is just red from my nose eye to the middle of my cheek. Not a breakout and almost like a birthmark. I've never had it before. Getting a facial done helped for a few days but then it just crept back in.

violet615 · February 2014

I was severely lactose, casein, and whey intolerant and on a strict dairy free diet. Then I got preggers and the intolerance (mostly) went away. The dr warned me that the issues might come back after the baby is born so I'm eating all the cheese and ice cream that I can fit in my mouth for the time being.

AutumnBonfire · February 2014

Both this pregnancy and the last one, I've had more ear wax than usual. Last pregnancy, DH made a comment about how gross the Q-tips in the trash looked.

Both times, I've also developed new beauty marks. With DS, I got a small little freckle on my right index finger. Now, I think I'm getting one on my forehead.

With DS, I developed issues with TMJ. I woke up every day with jaw pain depending on what side I slept on more and it felt like my teeth didn't line up correctly. It went away after he was born and has not returned.

rattlecanqueen · February 2014

My nipples are excessively dark. Allow me toa picture for you. I'm fair skinned, but during the winter, I'm nearly clear, I have zero color. My nipples have gotten so dark, it looks like I drew them on with a black sharpie. They did this with my son, and thank goodness went back to a shade that's not quite so cartoony. But the skin flaked off when they did. It was nasty. Oh the joys!

I rage at my husband when pregnant. He can't do anything right when I'm growing a being. It went away almost instantly when DD was born.

Poor guy.

This is me. Yoga is helping. Crossing fingers it goes away instantly when LO comes. Not liking this one bit.

Also, dry mouth. It's common in pregnancy but I'd never had it before. Was absolutely miserable for two months then switched prenatals and seems to have become tolerable almost not noticeable anymore. I've got the swollen lady parts too. Fortunately yoga seems to be helping with that too. Pregnancy is weirdness.

ashcross · February 2014

Crazy amounts of sneezing, purple veiny boobs, and sciatica

beccaxrad · February 2014

Definitely hiccups. I get them all the time!!

Lhalliburton · February 2014

1. My DH thinks I'm a crazy person. I'm not a crier. I don't even cry when someone close to me dies. I just don't express sadness of grief that way. I don't think he ever saw me cry until I got pregnant. Now I cry daily. He doesn't know what to do with his blubbering, sobbing wife.

2. I'm intensely itchy, even though I lotion up at least 3 times a day, my legs exclusively are itchy. I'm attributing this to the weather and not the pregnancy status, hoping that it goes away as the weather gets warmer.

3. My leg hair, armpit hair, and 'a-hem' down-there hair is growing at a grossly rapid rate. I used to shave my legs maybe once a week, and I'd only start getting stubble on the 6th day. Now, I can barely go 12 hours before the stubble comes in.

January Bride · February 2014

I have more snot in my nose than I ever have before. I blow my nose constantly...I don't know where this is coming from. It's disgusting!

TMI - my DH also told me the other day that my nipples taste sweet and have for the last few weeks. WTF?!!!

I've been getting these too but I was too freaked out to mention it and have someone say, "uhhh, that's not pregnancy related." It's like lightening crotch but in the butt right?! Oww.

The other random/weird symptom is that I feel like I have a super power sense of hearing now. I hear EVERYTHING, and it's driving me nuts!

@JanuaryBride, I think that means your nipples are already producing colostrum ;-)

I think you are correct!

It just sort of weirded me out that my DH noticed it and didn't even think to say anything.

kwend003 · February 2014

1. Freaking hiccups every day! 2. A stuffy runny nose for the past 10 weeks... This is a symptom I could do without. & 3. A horrible red rash looking splotch on my right hand that itches like crazy.

reecespieces714 · February 2014

Splotchy upper chest area. Like I've been drinking. Very odd.

bullybutt · February 2014

Nosebleeds, extreme dry mouth, hip/lower back popping and shooting pain. After I had DS my vision went to complete shit...like can't see anything without glasses on. I'm afraid I'm going to be legally blind after this next kid. The optomotrist said that he sees that in certain women who had extremely difficult labors...that would make sense.

JayBzo · February 2014

My mouth hurts all the time which I think is giving me headaches. My jaw, my teeth, not sure if I am suddenly clenching or what but I am to the point I want to rip my jaw off. My tongue can't get comfortable either. Annoying.

acciovino · February 2014

Blood boogers and an insanely itchy butt.

No lie. When I get in the shower, the first thing I do is clean my butt and scratch the hell out of it. I don't know why it's so itchy! lol

ChrisB · February 2014

"Hair! Hair! Long beautiful hair"...on my belly! OK, so it's not long and beautiful but holy shit! My leg hair has practically stopped growing with the exception of 4 hairs on my right leg.

Constantly stuffed up, sneezing and an endless bloody nose. And headaches - but I'll take all of this over morning sickness any day!

cuntasaurusrex · February 2014

@TallMomma29 THANK YOU for not leaving me hanging, because I was totally doing the shifty eyes thinking I was alone on the asspains. Totally like lightning crotch.

@Caitlinrj, ditto on the blood boogers. I'm kind of fascinated by them.

@ChrisB ditto on the belly hair. DH decided I was having a boy the moment he saw the darkish happy trail starting at my sternum.

I almost choked reading this. Only because I'm sure we've all been there. I know exactly what you mean. I almost want to scoot across the floor like that dog on tv.

LMAO at that image hahaha!!! Hubby is looking at me like a crazy person because I started laughing uncontrollably for no reason

mamakiss · February 2014

My pee stinks. Like funky asparagus pee, or really concentrated strong pee smell even when I'm peeing clear and drinking lots of water.

Also, the slightest bump turns into a deep black and blue bruise.
