What symptoms have YOU had? :)

[SoonToBeMrs]

Just posting a topic that isn't asking for advice.. more like trying to get to know your pregnancies a little better. Just post here the symptoms you've managed to aquire throughout Tri 1 and Tri 2...

I'll start the ball rolling.. lol

-I had morning sickness from 6 weeks onwards

-My cravings were milk and cheese (milkshakes and Maccy D cheeseburgers) but thats gone now

-I have itchy skin..

-Bad back

-HUGE breasts!!! (B to F cup easily in a few months)

-Gorgeous thick hair and lovely nails!

-Fatigue and exhaustion

-VERY highly strung and emotional.. crying for silly little things

-Bouts of wind (sorry if it's TMI.. lol)

-Sleeplessness and restless nights

-Hair growing quicker and thicker!

....and that's probably about it for now! I'll probably have a longer list come the 3rd Tri.. lol

All pretty similar symptoms.. apart from the avacado thing.. can't say I've been that close to an avacado lately

Anyone got any unusual symptoms? Anything new?

[allycat]

Hmmm here goes...!

Awful nausea from 5 weeks...actual sickness and just under a stone weight loss from aout 8-9 weeks and only started to feel normal again by 18 weeks
Really sore boobs! Not really gone up in cup size, but where my ribs expanded to early on (early bump!) I've gone up in the band measurement by 2-3 sizes!
Sleepless nights in tri 1 and constantly getting up to go to the toilet - I sleep the whole night at the moment, which is lovely!
Painful ribs and lower back

Love this thread!

Highly emotional - in fact this was my first symptom, before I even knew I was pregnant, and I spent a whole 2 hour flight home from a holiday in Italy in August in floods of tears without really understanding why I was so upset.

Awful morning sickness from about week 5 through to about week 16 (it's gone now, but sneaks back if I've not had enough sleep).

Thicker, shinier hair, and the greys are far less noticeable.
Shinier nails.

Extreme tiredness.
Snappiness.

Dry skin and itchy arms and legs.

Lovely reassuring kicks and wriggles, even hiccups this week from LO.

Think that's about it - all worth it though!

 

[Sweetpea134]

Iv had

dry and itchy skin which i still have
nausea for god knows how long(stopped now)
constipation
extreme tiredness
being a moody C** most of the time lol
painfull boobs
discharge
forgetfullness
and a bit tearfull from time to time

i think thats it

 

[allycat]

Oooh I forgot to mention the crazy emotions and screaming at my OH for silly things! I found out I was pregnant on the Monday and on the saturday before I balled my eyes out 'cause my OH jumped out of bed, got dressed and went to McDonalds to get breakfast for us without saying "bye" or giving me a kiss lol! I always start crying at stupid things now...he'll say "don't cry, what's up" and I'll go "waaaaah...I'm hormonal!"

 

[SoonToBeMrs]

Haha.. I'm really emotional and tired.. but as I'm the youngest out of all our friends in the area, I think most people think I'm just a hormonal hyped-up woman on a daily basis regardless of whether I'm pregnant or not.. and none of them work or anything.. I think all the women forget how hormonal pregnancy makes you.. and how tired you get just BEING pregnant.. seeing as it's been years since they had children!

 

[HeartOfGlass]

No sickness at all
Gone off nearly every food apart from soup and my craving which is ... peanut butter, bbq sauce and crisp sandwiches mmm
I had headaches for about two weeks
Really tired and reallt really forgetful
Stomach pains and some slight bledding at the weekend

I'm so glad I haven't been sick though

 

[mirella]

Nausea and sickness from week 6 to week 21, and I think it coming back slightly now...
Extreme fatigue..
Back Pain
Lazyness
numbness in both legs, at first when I walked a bit or stood up, now even when I'm sitting or in bed. Not only numb now, painfull and burning sensation as well!!!!
starting to have constipation

Positive side.... shiny hair, it doesn't fall so much, better skin I think (a few blemishes still here and there...)
