Well, now we are in 3rd, some near the end and some just starting the final stretch, I thought it would be interesting to tally up those pregnancy symptoms. I reckon I've had almost everything going! So, I've tried to think of as many symptoms as I can. What have been your symptoms? Can you think of any more?

The Rubbish Stuff
High BP - no
Low BP - yep
Gestational diabetes - no
Pregnancy sickness - yes, nausea for the whole time
Bloating - yes in the early days
Constipation - yes in the first few months
Swelling - not yet *touches wood*
Pre-eclampsia - ditto
Stretch marks - first ones a couple of weeks ago
Spots - yes in first tri
Headaches - no!!
Exhaustion - eternally
Anaemia - yep
Sciatica - yep, down the right side
SPD - got suspicious symtoms the today, I really really hope not...
Separated abdominal muscles - Ouch! Yes! (FYI http://www.befitmom.com/abdominal_seperation.html Thanks Shri!)
General pelvic pain - yep
Shortness of breath - oh yes
Pregnancy waddle - not yet? Maybe?
Cramp - just one once
Restless legs - no
Tearfulness -
Moodiness - yup
Hairy stomach - oh yes, call me Mrs Gorilla
Outie belly button - yep, mine is dynamic
Pregnancy brain - huh?

Loss of libido - yep, eternally

Pregnancy gingivitis - nope

The Positive Stuff
Glossy hair - no
