And I don't mean like stretch marks or weight gain or anything like that.
I had dry/normal skin pre pregnancy, and the day I conceived (I kid you not) my skin turned super oily. I had to dab it with those little oil sheets once an hour. 14 months PP and 5 months post breastfeeding it's still really oily, although not quite as bad.
I guess that's just my new reality. What about you?

My hair is wavier and I have a ton of gray, permanent hairs that are here to stay!
Hips are wider, feet are 1/4 to 1/2 size bigger. Skin is better post pregnancy though!

Just softer, saggier BBs and a pooch I can't suck in totally. Other that that, nothing.

Before pregnancy I had twinges when ovulating and heavy period cramps and after pregnancy its reversed - now I have awful ovulation cramps and mild period cramps - so strange!

It's hard to say since I had no time between weaning and being pregnant again, but my lactose intolerance is way better. It was weird- during my first pregnancy I could eat ice cream no problem, where before I could eat it but get a stomach ache if I didn't take a lactaid. Ever since then it's the same- can't over do it on dairy but I can eat normal amounts. It's nice!
My skin did get a little more oily but I think it was going back to normal.

-Feet are 1/2 size larger
-Hair is so much thinner - I swear it's falling out constantly
-I have menstrual hip pain - my sacroiliac joint swells up like a golf ball during my period now.
-Skin is crazy - I get those deep, painful zits, which I've never gotten before in my life
-My boobs are super sad now
My kid is 3, so I thought I'd be back to normal, but honestly, I don't think my hormones have ever recovered, which is why I'm having most of my problems.

My feet are bigger and I now have to permanently wear the reading glasses I got years ago but never actually needed. I'm pretty sure my hand is wider as well (my jade bracelets no longer fit). Not to mention my breast size (although they're getting smaller), they're still no where close to my original size.

It did regulate my periods, but unfortunately, it made my hair super thin and prone to breaking. Even now that I'm pregnant with LO #2 and taking extra folic acid...no where near the same

@Foodnerd81: Weird! My lactose intolerance improved while pregnant, came back to normal after having DS1, and now that I'm pregnant with DS2, it's WORSE! Blech.
Definitely more grays here. My hair also gets oilier faster than it did before.

Feet are 1/2 size larger and I feel like I'll never have the same amount of muscle tone in my abdomen ever again. I feel like motherhood has aged me, in general, probably due to the added stress and lack of sleep.

My hair has gotten wavy (almost curly in some places). I have really bad hip pain from time to time that I think is because of pregnancy.

hair is thinner, feet are half size bigger and wider/flatter, ribcage got wider, and boobs are in an extremely sad state of flat pancake-ness.

My eyesight got worse (confirmed by optometrist after having stable eyes for 10+ years), my PMS/ovulation pain is now 10x worse, and my waist is wider (I weigh the same but don't have as much of an hourglass figure). I also have way more fine lines on my face and hands, but I'm not sure if that's pregnancy or just aging in general. I think maybe it sped it up.

Wrinkles and gray hair (although that's probably less pregnancy, more parenting 
)
My hips have spread a bit, and my right foot is a little bit bigger than my left.

My eye color changed from brown to almost completely Green. And my boobs look so sad

My stick-straight hair got super wavy in the back, my hips are slightly wider, boobs still much bigger, but I'm also still breastfeeding.

My hair is oilier. My torso is much thicker. Also, not a body change but I cry ALL THE TIME now. It's crazy. I have never been a crier!!

Wow, I'm surprised how many of your feet grew! Mine are the same size.
I would say my permanent pooch and it seems like my rib cage is bigger like just my whole middle is thicker. I hate it. And I'm sure once I'm done nursing, my boobs will be flat.

My vagina got bigger. It was a welcome change, so I didn't try to 'fix' it. Slightly saggy boobs after nursing. That's about it? Eager to see what pregnancy number two does.
