Snoring, burping, farting, and peeing myself whenever I sneeze or cough. It's like my body's trying to be as un-sexy as possible to prevent ever getting pregnant again.
This morning I had to shove my husband out of the way while he was standing in front of the toilet in our bathroom so I could simultaneously puke and fart at top volume. He was trying so hard to be sympathetic, but he couldn't help cracking up. RIP, my dignity. RIP.
I want to add...SO ITCHY! My boobs/nipples especially. I try not to itch but sometimes I have to (not in public, I swear)...& then I'm just in pain. I can't win! And the bacne, the burping...what the actual eff?! Where is the damn pregnancy "glow" I've always heard about?!

Ahhhh the acne! And varicose veins in my crotch--- all the way down my left leg.... And stretch marks... Good thing these babes are so worth it! Us mommas go through so much for our kids- they will never know! It makes me want to hug my mom.
Yes to almost all of these! I've had horrible, vivid nightmares about growing very manly facial hair, but thankfully it's not actually that extreme, yet. Also, I've peed a little while throwing up from morning sickness. The week after Christmas the whole family came down with an awful chest and head cold. I had the double whammy of dealing with vomiting after gagging on and coughing up phlegm.
Yes, love the real talk here! Acne which I've never had before, not even as a teenager. Peeing all the time. I'm a teacher and go between every class too. Today was finals and each class was 100 minutes.... Waiting to go was agony and I'm surprised I didn't pee myself.
Constipation for real! But I have found a way to combat it. I put ground flax seed in my morning oatmeal or fruit smoothie and it seriously helps with regularity. And, as stupid as it sounds, a squatty potty! It's basically a little stool you put your feet on while going that is supposed to help align your body the way it was meant to for going. Seriously. Try it.
Edit: And how could I forget pregnancy rhinitis that has caused a month long sinus infection. The amount of snot and gross crap coming out of my face is unbelievable.
Also, am I the only one experiencing dry skin? It could just be the cold weather here, but no matter how much water I drink or how much lotion I slather on, my face feels like an alligator trying to shed it's skin. No acne, just dry skin. Grrrrr.
Definitely not the only one! I itch everywhere, all the time! I also have the acne though and it's not cool
No one told me I'd have flaky nipples. Why the flaky itchy nipples?! I thought that was after! Must scratch! Come to think of it, everything itches! Pretty sure someone replaced all my lotion with creme de poison ivy.
Furry belly. Keeping warm for winter??
Rabbit poops make me cry Bc I just want a real poop and ya know the hemorrhoid!
I agree that I think the pregnancy glow is a load of crap. I haven't heard one person on this board say they have any type of glow. Anyone??
A co-worker of mine told me I was glowing...I laughed in her face (which probably wasn't very nice). I might be glowering at times but I'm certainly not glowing.
Anyone who posted about constipation- make sure you see my discussion post about breakfast cookies. They really help things get going and the cookies Are yummy/healthy!
Ugh yes to these symptoms!! The sinus issues are killing me! I end up with shooting pains behind my eye! And the constipation and farting! Oh and yesterday I hugged DH and he asked why I was more emotional then I started crying then he looked at me and I cried more...he was so confused lol
My farts. I've never been that gassy before and they smell so freaking bad. Even my cats look at me disgusted.
Discharge- changing my undies all the time
Dry Skin- I'm like a lizard over here
When I brush my teeth it looks like someone was murdered (which my doc told me today may be because I do it right after I shower and my blood flow is crazy then from the heat, it's never as bad at night before bed. In case anyone else is having that problem)
Bloody snot and boogers. Yup, all the time.
And I constantly hear my heartbeat in my ears. Majorly annoying.
The hair growth- so fast, so full and luscious.... all the in the wrong areas. I'm going to have to invest in a new bikini trimmer. That I can use until I can't see over my belly anymore. I also have one rogue hair on my belly just below my belly button that grows like a weed. WTF.
OMG yes to the farts and dry skin. Also, my toothpaste now makes me throw up and I'm pretty sure my left boob is growing at twice the rate of my right.
This constipation is no joke. I was in the hospital yesterday because my stomach hurt so bad and it was off/on, since I'm a FTM and don't know what an actual contraction is they sent me in. Long story short, I still haven't gone. Super unattractive.
Oh my god original poster I had that exact thought a couple days ago. Between acne everywhere (face, back, chest, arms, armpits, and thighs), constipation, tired aching muscles all the time...when does it end??! This thread makes me feel better.
Also, am I the only one experiencing dry skin? It could just be the cold weather here, but no matter how much water I drink or how much lotion I slather on, my face feels like an alligator trying to shed it's skin. No acne, just dry skin. Grrrrr.
^ Yes! And chapped lips like crazy!!! I don't think I could possibly drink more water and I am blowing through chapstick like it is the breath of life!
Thank the Bump Gods for this thread! Where to begin?!
Let's start with horrible gas. I disgust myself with my own gas.
I feel extremely disoriented a lot of the time, like my brain will blank out mid-sentence and I just zone out of whatever is happening at the time. It's actually a little frightening.
I've always had acne problems so no change there BUT I've also grown a very nice beard. Which made me cry.
I get ridiculously hot out of nowhere and feel like I'm suffocating, also frightening at times, along with constant blacking out, and feeling weak.
TMI but I have the sex drive of a rabbit which I don't know how to feel about this yet.
Lastly, I always feel like I just ran a marathon. Even having a conversation leaves me winded and panting like a St. Bernard.
We went out to dinner tonight where I ate too much, and afterward had to go but was constipated. But when I pushed I could feel the reflux steadily creeping further up my esophagus. Simultaneous misery on both ends of my GI tract- fun!

I actually did pee on myself at work when I was pregnant with dd. It was during year-end testing and the teacher who was supposed to be switching out with me every hour decided to disappear for the day. I ended up in that room for three hours straight with no way to contact anyone and ask for relief. I peed myself before I made it to the bathroom but fortunately I made it out of the classroom first. It was mortifying.
January Siggy Challenge: Why I don't shop at Walmart
Scaly boobs and itchy skin, I call it my "baby fleas" I look like a junky, scratching myself all the time. But if I had to give this pregnancy an overall theme it would be, "An Inconvenient Poop." Constipation for a few days, followed by the sudden, I need a bathroom NOW! urgency. I swear, I have shit in every disgusting Walmart bathroom in the city. My favorite was the time it was so urgent I forgot to check for toilet paper ahead of time. Thank god I was wearing a panty liner. And, this just started this week, ankles the size of my calves by the end of the day. Good times.
I'm so glad I'm not alone!! I have a hairy belly, awful sweaty boobs that smells sooo bad, the worst gas EVER and my skin has decided its allergic to anything I put on my belly for moisture which then leads to a rash!! I was constipated but started taking a gummy fiber and calcium vitamin and have been going every day since then, its GLORIOUS!
Ummmm I found a sizeable skin tag this morning in my nether regions... WTH is this and why did no one warn me this would happen?! I looked it up and apparently I can't do anything to have it removed till after delivery... wonderful.
Discharge... Gross. I didn't deal with it last pregnancy but I feel like I need to wear panty liners this go round. I'm deer pooping at work right now.
Yes! This is my fourth and I swear, it's like a freaking waterfall down there sometimes! Never had this problem with my others! Ugh
Thank you thank you thank you for starting this thread!!! An ode to why I don't want to have sex tonight: Pregnancy boobs that grew different sizes Nipple skin tag Nipple blackheads Itchy shins that my sleeping self scratches until they bleed Burping mid-sentence unexpectedly Waddling after exercise because blood flow in vag area is out of control Bloody boogers Itchy belly button- especially attractive when scratched in public while waddling Hairy belly Extra sweaty pits that produce extra stink Smellier vag than ever before Random discharge- no cycle so no telling when/what will show up
Re: The Embarrassing Symptoms of Pregnancy no one ever tells you about

I could go on but I will stop here for now lol

Back acne (bacne) is officially the WORST. I have always had it on my face, but ughhhh. Let me just say I'm glad I'm pregnant in the middle of winter.

>I just upped my colace dose to twice a day...
Anyone else have to wax their chin every other week??
Also the skin on my boobs and belly is so dry no matter how much I moisturize it just continually flakes off.
Ahh the glamorous life of gestation!
>An ode to why I don't want to have sex tonight:
Pregnancy boobs that grew different sizes
Nipple skin tag
Nipple blackheads
Itchy shins that my sleeping self scratches until they bleed
Burping mid-sentence unexpectedly
Waddling after exercise because blood flow in vag area is out of control
Bloody boogers
Itchy belly button- especially attractive when scratched in public while waddling
Hairy belly
Extra sweaty pits that produce extra stink
Smellier vag than ever before
Random discharge- no cycle so no telling when/what will show up
