Oh, I forgot about that one. It was nice.

I always thought it was so weird that I couldn't pop my back (something I LOVE doing when I wake up). Too much relaxin, I guess?

Same--slow growing leg hair. It was awesome.

@Truth Bombs: I had that last time with my daughter but now with a boy, my hair is growing so fast!

@Truth Bombs: Same here! It's weird!

My weirdest thing for both pregnancies was my jaw totally mis-aligning so I couldn't bite down!!

First pregnancy my hands were also sometimes cramped and stuck when I woke up! Weird.

@reverie: me too. I actually threw up the other morning after it triggered my gag reflex.

My knuckles and little finger on each hand get really sore when I sleep and I can barely move them when I wake up but get better throughout the day.

And the disgusting amount of discharge since late in the second trimester. I have to wear a liner constantly and I can feel a gush sometimes when it comes out. So gross.

@Truth Bombs: Right? I couldn't get something nice. Had to have a disfiguring skin condition. Fucking pregnancy

Ugh so many weird ones. But the weirdest was a growth on my gums, triggered by an overactive immune response, and then it just fell off one day. (Dentist thought I would need gum surgery after delivery).

@alphagam84: yes yes same here

I also had little to no leg hair! and armpit hair! Went back to normal after delivery, boo.

The scent of my BO changed!! It's actually only JUST changing back now and it's been more than 3 years since my last pregnancy.

I feel like there were more but I can't remember!

Remembered another one! My laugh changed! When I'm laughing uncontrollably I used to be silent and now I have this raspy sound.

Mine was hypersalivation. It was ridiculous. My mouth literally made insane amounts of saliva, so much that I couldn't swallow it and had to constantly be spitting it out. I had to keep a cup with me to "dispose" of the extra saliva during my first trimester.

The extra saliva was always a bit bubbly and if I tried to swallow it I got ill really quickly, a combo of nausea and gas pain from the extra bubbles. It was such a pain, and SO WEIRD.

Luckily the hypersalivation went away after the first trimester. Sadly the hyperemesis did not, and I was sick until the day after I delivered my LO.

@Truth Bombs: I experienced the same thing! Leg hair grew way more slowly and other body hair became less noticeable in general. I didn't go back to my regular werewolf self until a year pp! It ruled.

Another weird pregnancy thing I noticed is that I became SUPER sensitive to sodium. If I ate takeout food one night, my mouth felt like it was on fire, I'd be crazy thirsty, and the next day I'd be bloated and gain 2-3 lbs in water weight. So intense.

@Truth Bombs: another with the really slow growing leg hair. It's extra nice now that reaching my legs is a challenge. But weird since my nails grow like crazy.

@alphagam84: the f-ing discharge. It's so gross and I'm tired of feeling disgusting all the time. I have been wearing a panty liner at all times since the first trimester. And I know it just gets grosser after I have the baby. I had it a little last time but not like this- sometimes I wonder if I would know if I was leaking amniotic fluid or just assume it was discharge. But at least the liners help when leak pee...

Oh and my nipples are crusty and flaky, have been since first trimester this time. It's itchy.

I'm a hot pregnant mess... With very little hair on my legs.

Nose bleeds! And being so weak that I felt like I couldn't walk. I would sit on the ground to stop myself from fainting

@alphagam84: Yessss on the discharge! I didn't have to wear a panty liner AT ALL with Evan, but I'm changing it every two hours with this one!

I did realize, last night, that although the hair growth on my legs and arm pits had slowed I've grown a new level of down on my stomach! Luckily it's very blonde, but still!

The only unexpected thing with my first was when I went to the dentist and was told I had pregnancy gingivitis, which apparently is fairly common, but I hadn't heard of it before.

With my second, things got a little weird after about the halfway point. First I developed pica- I had the urge to eat ice and snow, a bar of soap, my daughters blocks...
Then I started itching like crazy, especially in my hands and feet, which turned out to be cholestasis.
