The not so normal symptoms.. list yours.


Ok.. so we all know the normal symptoms of pregnancy. But what about the weird ones that not many women wanna mention in case they think that they're the only one?!
I'm brave enough to list mine.. feel free to add your own.

Itchyness... and I mean, everywhere! On my toes, my fingers, my arms.. omg it drives me mad at night when I lie down and even my skin touching the sheets makes me wanna scratch. (I remember this in my other pregnancies).

Runny poo's (tmi)... I know constipation is a main symptom, but from conception up until a few days after my bfp, I was going up to 6 times a day!

Itchy nipples.. no, not aching, not sore.. but downright itchy! Most embarrassing when you're out doing your weekly grocery shop and you just can't help but give them a scratch!

My OH irritates the hell out of me. I miss him all day when he's at work. Then when he's home I only have to look at him and I feel angry. Even the sound of his breathing gets me annoyed! I want a kiss and a cuddle, or even more when we go to bed. But for some reason when he touches me I get the urge to bat him away! It's like I my skin is mega sensitive and it irritatingly tickles.

Wind... by the end of the day I'm blown up like a balloon and just wanna sit there and let rip over and over again. (but I don't because I don't want my OH to laugh).. so I just sit there in agony!

Restless legs. Never had it before. But I'm laid down at night all relaxed, then suddenly my legs ache really strangely and I feel like I need to move them all the time. Not nice!

My breath smells in the morning. It's rank! .. and I'm waking up in a pool of dribble. I seem to be producing a lot of saliva. I've also caught myself dribbling when I've been engrossed in a tv programme. yuck!

That's just a few of them... on top of all that I'm experiencing a range of emotions. Jealousy being one of them. I was quite secure with my partner pre pregnant. NOW... I'm watching my fella's eyes like a hawk. Driving down the road... pass a girl.. 'Are you looking at her? What was your looking at her for? Don't you fancy me anymore now I'm pregnant?'. I've even took to turning over the tv channel if a younger/prettier/slimmer woman is on the TV in case he's oggling. (he doesn't and never did before!).

So there we go.. my freakish symptoms.

oooh, i like this one.

ok, i have a giant nipple. haha!

most of the time my nipples are hard at the moment but on the odd occasions that they aren't, one of them (my right one!) is huge! It's taking over my boob!

I'm with you on the wind and the runny poos! I'm also starving all the time and totally paranoid!

Anyone else with a giant nipple?!

Just lol! Do you mean the areola (or however you spell it?) as I've noticed that both of mine are looking slighty saucer shaped!!!

No CM is the one weird thing...I was expecting gushes of watery cm but nope, dry as you like.

Itchiness is with me too.
I wake up in the mornings and have red marks all over my body. Had it with the last one and took me ages to work out what it was till OH told me to stop scratching one day and I looked down and there were the red marks again.
I wont wear low cut tops cos thats where its most itchy and most marked.

Itchy nipple, yep got that one.
Insane starving hunger - all the books talk about nausea and instead of MS I was just insanely hungry all the time.
