Strangest Pregnancy Symptom

in September 2015 Moms
I hope this board doesn't exist already (I don't think it does but sorry if I had a "boy look" and didn't see it), but what is/are your strangest pregnancy symptom(s)?

I think for me it has been intolerance to spicy food - I normally LOVE spicy food - I'm a real chili-head - the spicier the better, but since being pregnant, I have no tolerance for it! Even mild spice has me like woah. For me, this reaction is something that I never expected and had never heard of before as a pregnancy symptom.

    When I was pregnant with my son I couldn't find anything spicy enough!!! This time around I am sensitive to it, but it's kind of nice because I don't have to kill anything with hot sauce to get it spicy enough. 

    I have been sneezing all the time! I had no idea that was actually something.  I hardly ever sneeze. My hubby looked it up as a joke and it's real!

    My sense if smell! I was a heavy smoker before being pregnant and I'm sure quitting has helped a bit. II used to smell nothing but very strong odors, now I can Snell EVERYTHING. Which would be so amazing if 80% of those smells didn't make me I'll.

    For a little bit, I kept randomly getting really itchy palms. I didn't think it would be a pregnancy thing, but I spent a little time on Google and lo and behold, even that was because I was pregnant! So weird.

    I'm constantly stuffed up but if there is a foul smell it will find its way into my nose. At work we use bags that at 100% recycled and the smell of the bags were making me gag

    @ktbkitten - I guess I have the sneezing one too! Here I was thinking my allergies have come early. I guess I need to do more research because I had NO idea some of these symptoms were pregnancy-related!!

    @ktbkitten - I wonder if the spicy thing is gender-related? Maybe that means I'm having a girl, if you had a boy and couldn't get enough spice?!

    Every time I do yoga I pull a muscle in my butt and for days make horrible groaning sounds every time I bend forward at the waist or stand up. How can something so gentle evoke such terrific pain?!

    I have the constant stuffy or runny nose; but my weirdest thing is throwing up water after getting a drink. like, it just flows back out. so weird feeling. for a while I couldn't drink any but carbonated water. now I'm finding if I take it REALLY slow, and burp between every sip (sorry tmi) I can keep it down.

    I became hydrophobic at shower time.
    I use to love taking showers and sometimes I would take long bubble baths. Now I hate getting wet at home. I'm fine with going to a pool tho...

    My dreams! They are causing me to talk in my sleep. Ugh it's humiliating lol. Who knows what I'm saying given the recent content of my dreams!

    The heartburn and indigestion. My WORD. I've never really had these before, and I know they're not unusually weird symptoms per say- but I think I can single-handedly keep the tums and rolaids companies in business right now. I had a burger the other day, and had heartburn for 6 hours. Ugh. Gross!

    The bizarre and random cravings and aversions are always the weirdest thing for me. We have Girl Scout cookies (my faves, thin mints) but I can't even look at them. So the kids are eating them all.

    Food aversions/cravings. I can eat chicken, but having to cook it makes me gag. I usually only want one thing for dinner and everything else seems like I won't be able to stomach it. Which is weird because I didn't have any morning sickness.

    I can't keep down chicken. I have had no morning sickness and no aversions, I'll even crave chicken, but for some reason it just won't stay down.

    I'm usually a very gassy person (celiac sprue makes you toot more and so does having gastric bypass) but I no longer fart. It's a big surprise when I do now (probably from the super constipation). It's sad but I actually miss cutting the cheese because now I'm so bloated and in pain.

    most recently (12 weeks), waking up randomly and feeling like my legs ran a marathon. The extreme ache/tiredness lasts only for a few seconds though. I wish I got the benefits of exercising instead the pain!

    I have had morning sicknesses this whole time but it's getting worse in the 2nd trimester... i didnt expect at 14 weeks they would just disappear but at least let up... i count this as strange (:|

    @sugarmagn0lia not to send you into prego panic but when you mentioned itchy hands I thought of something o read a while back about how that could potentially be a sign of a medical condition....again don't panic but maybe consider mentioning to your dr. Just in case :). My weirdest symptom....and I have only the weird kind is probably that early on I would get cold chills....I couldn't control my shivering or chattering teeth.....even if I was under like 3 blankets with my coat on. I guess it happens....haven't had any in weeks. My SIL I swear thought I was making it up. My feet went numb once, my dreams have been insane, I sneeze all the time....I bet like 15 times a day, and one day I craved butter....just butter. No major ms though so I guess I'll take it!
