Symptoms you didn't expect?

babybabyky · January 2015

Are you having any symptoms that you didn't expect or know about?

My armpits are suddenly very dark. They've never looked anything like this before. The only thing I can attribute it to is the pregnancy.

I honestly thought I was going to be special and not have morning sickness. So wrong. But a truly unexpected symptom was insomnia. I hear you're exhausted (which I am) and sleeping all the time (which I am not) so that was a real bummer. I love my sleep.

Green poop for me.... And gas.......

rjackie54 · January 2015

Super sensitive gums

ugh.

Stuffy nose and bad tasting mouth

travelissa · January 2015

Constant burping and bad breath. Extremely hard stools (sorry TMI but this is a pregnancy board after all and there's lots of gross stuff that goes along with it!). Almost cried going to the bathroom the other day. The food aversions really shocked me as well. I can't believe that I can't eat my favorite foods and that they sound repulsive! So weird!

I wake up with this killer hunger pains. I used to not eat breakfast until an hour or two after I woke up but now I have to eat right away

RMECKELS · January 2015

Red, itchy eyes. I can't wear my contacts right now.

ceclarlinetlo · January 2015

I was surprised how quickly my boobs grew - I thought that happened a lot later in the process.

katerbees · January 2015

Hunger pangs, suddenly my left boob has doubled in size, I can smell everything and as a result I feel like I have horrendous breath all the time. Not sure if I do or not though because my nose isn't being objective!

buhba27 · January 2015

I have an early version of lightning crotch..shooting pains down there for like two seconds and then it's gone. I did not expect to not have m/s, but there's obviously still time for it to decide to show up. Also, insomnia.

Kiek · January 2015

I'm starving all the time! Last time I had terrible morning sickness. I couldn't eat anything. This time I can't seem to get full

trishandmel · January 2015

Ha I have a bit of everything.

rachaeld01 · January 2015

I am hungry a lot and nauseated rarely so far... The cramping was also a bit of a surprise. And I agree with Cait I am fatigued but not always sleeping all that well! Crazy!!!

MichelB · January 2015

I know how you feel!!! My tummy makes noises while I eat! I am permanently hungry! !!!!

thenewmrshart · January 2015

Super dry mouth/thirst all the time!

snikai · January 2015

I thought that dry mouth and nose were just due to the cold weather and heaters but maybe it is pregnancy related since everyone is claiming the same thing. Also, have burping a lot!

jen83mn · January 2015

I'm 7 weeks and super hungry all the time, and most times carbs are the only thing that sound good to me. MS hasn't hit yet, so I'm eating while I can! I wasn't expecting my coffee aversion; I switched to decaf when I found out I was pregnant and drank it for a few weeks, but last week it all of a sudden tasted disgusting. I also was expecting to be tired, but not this tired! I have no motivation to do anything except sleep. I'm hoping to get some energy back in the second trimester!

ashleyannnxo · January 2015

Most discusring thing ever ... having an smelly vagina after sex its discusting ... but doctor said its normal ....my husband calls me stink box

530gatita · January 2015

Insomnia, headaches, very sensitive emotionaly.tired, bursts of energy. Green poop tmi lol but yea weird...I never ate steak but I want some really bad.

caityrose · January 2015

exhaustion

Natalie Crittenden · January 2015

Didn't expect to be THIS exhausted. The weird little pains and crampiness. Having to pee so much this early on. Boobs growing so much already. Basically all the symptoms are on steroids compared to what I expected.

berticus87 · January 2015

No morning sickness this time around. I'm always hungry but nothing looks appetizing! Super exhausted but can't sleep. Mild cramping throughout the day but nothing unbareable. Also bloated like crazy! I'm 6 weeks and already feel so uncomfortable in my clothes and bras!

myspecialkid · January 2015

Didn't expect my cooch to smell like I was still on my period even after the spotting stopped. My boobs are definitely bigger. I also had a random case of heartburn. I NEVER get heartburn.

OMG! You are cracking me up!! I literally just laughed out loud at this, stink box!! Lol!

That's cool that he can have fun with it tho, and have a sense of humor. I've been to afraid to do it after I found out so I have gone the BJ route:( Maybe now I have a good reason why tho!

ashleyannnxo · January 2015

I cried the first time he called me that but now i laugh its so embarrassing and was so embarrassed to ask my doctor about it because NOONE ever told me that my vagina was gunna stink

kaylaef · January 2015

I am soooo thirsty which makes me tinkle constantly!! Lose lose situation

RachelWehr · January 2015

I wasn't prepared for everything to be so achy. And I can't wear my work pants cuz of the bloating! That's gonna be a problem...

amaliareza · January 2015

I'm sweatier than normal. Gross

babybabyky · January 2015

I'm so hungry too. My husband just told me I'm eating too much and what's the deal cause I've never eaten like this before.... What do you think!? I've never been pregnant before!

Catremblay · January 2015

Was so thirsty for the first couple weeks which is finally starting to get better. Horrible insomnia. I work nights and can hardly sleep during the day anymore but so exhausted at work.

ekrubanit · January 2015

I've been having weird BMs too... just thought it was something I ate. The weirdest symptom was before I knew - I was having THE WORST stomach cramps, up into my chest. I thought I had an ulcer. Eventually it started moving downward and I realized it was a huge gas bubble. Took about a week and half to pass. Got my BFP a week later! Other than that, sore boobs/slight nausea/back ache until yesterday. They seems to have subsided, but I'm sure they'll come back with a veangence!

lzgraggen · January 2015

I've been sick almost the entire time, and I mean colds/flu not just nausea. I think the nausea makes it all worse, and the fact that my work schedule SUCKS right now (I work 3 day shifts and then two 12 hour overnight shifts so I'm so messed up on sleep right now) is probably the reason. I'm thirsty all the time!

mlindon · January 2015

I am surprised by how sensitive and sore my boobs are. They are off limits to my husband for the time being.

greeneyedlady1243 · January 2015

My nips are way sensitive. Even taking a shower hurts.

aprilmay92 · January 2015

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a "scent" issue.

elainedemosesq · January 2015

My boobs have gotten huge and I have been purely exhausted!! Wake up every night to pee and today at 6 weeks I'm having major cramps that are freaking me out...think it may be constipation or gas but my pregnancy brain is making me worry...

MrsPrice30 · January 2015

The bad smell thing was my first clue I was pregnant- I'd never had that smell before- bought a pregnancy test that night and sure enough...:)

mich5504 · January 2015

Gas and spotting! I wish I had known that bright red spotting was actually normal. It scared me to death. And the gas is tortuous. Sharp pains and annoying considering the spotting scare! Also, this pregnancy is the exact opposite of my last! Something knew all the time!

SDHKoenig · January 2015

This is my first pregnancy. I have been pleasantly surprised so far. The bloating and gas are a bit annoying. But I had insomnia before I got pregnant. Now with fatigue I sleep like a champ!
