What is/was your most bizarre pregnancy symptom?
I am 27 weeks and the area under my right breast feels like it is asleep with that pins and needles feeling. I have no idea what causes it but I definitely didn't have this before. It's pretty annoying.
What about you?

I had a horrible pain in my left ribs right at the bottom of my rib for so long. It was so annoying.

My butt/crotch keep falling asleep when I sit for too long. It's not precisely a pregnancy symptom, but it's definitely not something that normally happens.

Burping. I burped constantly from about 6 weeks on. It got slightly better during my 3rd trimester, but it was still there. I couldn't help it. It was so uncomfortable.
With my 2nd pregnancy, my coworker figured it out before I told. The burping gave me away.

I had muffled hearing all throughout my pregnancy. It only went away when I'd lay down. Sucked big time!

My nose has started wigging out the last couple of weeks. I swear I smell cigarettes everywhere. But no, just me.

With my first pregnancy my left knee locked up for my entire 1st trimester. I just couldn't bend it without a lot of pain. As soon as the 1st trimester exhaustion lifted it was back to normal. My doctor refused to do anything for it or look into it at all because she said it was just one of those weird pregnancy things.

My weirdest symptom was that I couldn't stand my husband's breath through the majority of my pregnancies. Super annoying!

I had weird spurts of uncontrollable sneezing...like 2-3x a minute for hours at a time. It happened three times when I was pregnant, and I was miserable.

@Mrs. Coral: During my first pregnancy, I could drink gallons of cow's milk without any problems. This pregnancy, I can't drink any cow's milk. I've been drinking almond milk since 9 weeks.

I got restless leg syndrome at night. In the third tri, I also got something that felt like a super long contraction anytime I walked too long. My whole middle would feel super tight and painful. I guess that doesn't sound weird, but it was really different from real contractions.

I have had sinus issues this entire pregnancy (37 weeks now). My nose is constantly stuffed, or just really dry or dry/bloody. It's so irritating and I need it to go away after the birth!

I'm only a few weeks in, but I realized that the first "symptom" that let me know that something was up is that my poop smells totally different. 
TMI, I know!

My first pregnancy, toward the end, my jaw kept going out of alignment, I think from sleeping on it. It was SO weird and annoying and uncomfortable. My doc thought it was the relaxin hormone. I couldn't get my bite to line up. After baby it was totally back to normal.

My teeth got insanely sensitive, particularly where Id had fillings a few months prior, in the week before and few weeks after my BFP.

My hands have cramped up 3 times in the past week. Keeps happening when I'm gripping something like a coffee carafe or rolling pin. Can't unclench it for a few seconds!

I had that pins & needles feeling all along the top of my abdomen for several weeks in the second trimester.
I noticed around 30 weeks that the hair on my legs above my knees disappeared! I will assume it is a permanent change ...

I read that peoples moles can grow, even my SIL who had some removed they grew back. Well sure enough some that were flat on my skin got raised during pregnant. SO weird!

So far I can't stand the smell myself (like...I'm showering 4 times a day) and every time I sneeze I feel like I'm going to throw up. 11w 5d

I became a vampire - I couldn't be around anyone that had consumed garlic in the past 24-48 hours. I could smell it seeping from their pores days later and it made me gag.

@cascademom: that's craziness! I wonder what the science behind it is. Thank goodness for almond milk...that is also what I survived on. The dark chocolate variety is delish!!

I had one spot on my stomach that got so itchy and sore. It was so bad that I had to get a cream from the doctor. It hasn't happened since then.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: OMG I thought I was imagining my mole raising up!!

@Mrs. Coral: yep, my OB was glad that I figured it out. I miss regular ice cream and milkshakes. Glad that my stomach's not taking hits from regular milk thanks to almond milk.

I got a pyogenic granuloma, aka "pregnancy tumor," on my bottom lip. I thought it was a zit, then a blood blister because it bled like the dickens. I mean blood poured out of me and all over my shirt. Picked at it for a month, never went away, and finally went to a dermatologist who knew what it was immediately. I had no idea it was related to pregnancy as it wasn't in any of my books. My OB never pointed it out at my prenatal appointments. I had to have it burned off, and still have scar tissue on my lip. Annoying!

Throughout my entire pregnancy, water has made me nauseous. I have to drink carbonated water or I can't drink it at all. It suuuucks because as soon as my carbonated water goes flat or gets too warm, I can't drink it.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: yes!! i'm a moley moley mole person lol I have then all over me (though they are flat). they even line up symmetrically on either side of my body! many of them got darker through my pregnancy, and I got a heck of a lot of teeny tiny new ones and some skin tags.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: I have 2 moles on my back that've raised & are more sensitive. I don't like it... 
@FannyMae: lol!

I threw up whenever I sneezed. I also ate a hamburger every day because I craved beef all the time.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: oh, interesting! I have one that's done that, and I was freaking out something's wrong. Good to know it might be just a pregnancy thing 
This time, I got really bad angular cheilitis (cracks in the corner of my lips) before I knew I was pregnant. I had them with DS too, so I was googling to find out if they're a symptom but couldn't find anything. Started taking vitamin B just in case because they're sometimes caused by a B deficiency... good thing I did!

I've gotten a bunch of skin tags under my boobs. Bizarre. I just pull them off.

In the first trimester, I constantly felt like I had something stuck in my throat! It was so annoying. It gradually faded away as I got into the 2nd. Thank god! I would swallow and it would just feel like there was a lump there or something, and no one I talked to knew what I was talking about!

Wow - I've had a few of these and never attributed them to being pregnant!
A few moles on my back have become more sensitive.
I have a pain under my left bottom rib - like a stitch in the side. It's so annoying!
As for milk, mine went the opposite way (in my 1st preg, not this one)....I am lactose intolerant and when I was preg with DS1, I could have dairy without lactaid. It was so weird! I was hoping it would happen again this time, but nope.

@Mama Bird: I had the same thing for like a month! I thought I was having a reaction from the lip stuff I had been using and switched to just vaseline until they went away.
Otherwise, I've had a constant cold since the beginning of the year. I just got diagnosed with pregnancy rhinitis. So that's been fun. And I have to wear a full on pad b/c I basically pee every time I cough. Which is a lot.

I knew I was pregnant when I had a blood nose one day for no reason! It just kept coming. That night I got my BFP. I also had a twitching eyelids from my BFP til the end of the first trimester.
In my third trimester I had pregnancy induced carpel tunnel syndrome which was extremely painful... I had to sleep with my arms above my head and splints on my wrist.

I stopped being lactose intolerant, just until I gave birth. Weird!!
I get awful patches of scaly, dry, itchy skin all over my body, especially on my inner knees/thighs.
I sneeze ALL the time.
