Both drove me crazy in pregnancy #1 and now they've started again in pregnancy #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2132463 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 19:34:09 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2132463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped being lactose intolerant, just until I gave birth. Weird!!<br /> I get awful patches of scaly, dry, itchy skin all over my body, especially on my inner knees/thighs.<br /> I sneeze ALL the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2132452 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 19:05:32 +0000 Hazza123 2132452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2129207 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 10:21:37 +0000 Mommy Finger 2129207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128952 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 06:49:37 +0000 ValentineMommy 2128952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow - I've had a few of these and never attributed them to being pregnant!</p> <p>A few moles on my back have become more sensitive.<br /> I have a pain under my left bottom rib - like a stitch in the side. It's so annoying!<br /> 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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128935 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 05:52:45 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2128935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128931 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 05:04:03 +0000 MamaB 2128931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gotten a bunch of skin tags under my boobs. Bizarre. I just pull them off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128907 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 01:20:55 +0000 Mama Bird 2128907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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 :)</p> <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128885 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:14:54 +0000 singingbee 2128885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I threw up whenever I sneezed. I also ate a hamburger every day because I craved beef all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128883 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:10:31 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2128883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: I have 2 moles on my back that've raised &amp; are more sensitive. I don't like it... :meh:<br /> @FannyMae: lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128881 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:07:23 +0000 FannyMae 2128881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128878 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 23:02:15 +0000 macintosh 2128878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128867 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 22:29:26 +0000 Kezzeranne 2128867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128821 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 21:02:19 +0000 cascademom 2128821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128801 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:26:31 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2128801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: OMG I thought I was imagining my mole raising up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128791 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:18:46 +0000 avivoca 2128791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128767 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 20:02:47 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2128767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128685 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:28:33 +0000 skipra 2128685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128679 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:23:55 +0000 babycanuck 2128679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128672 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:19:38 +0000 hellobeeboston 2128672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: I had one that did this too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128671 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:18:39 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2128671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128662 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:14:11 +0000 MsHangry 2128662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had that pins &amp; needles feeling all along the top of my abdomen for several weeks in the second trimester. </p> <p>I noticed around 30 weeks that the hair on my legs above my knees disappeared! I will assume it is a permanent change ... :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128658 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 18:10:09 +0000 buttermilk 2128658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128632 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 17:49:50 +0000 MenagerieMama 2128632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My teeth got insanely sensitive, particularly where Id had fillings a few months prior, in the week before and few weeks after my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128528 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:20:36 +0000 hellobeeboston 2128528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128526 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:18:30 +0000 lady baltimore 2128526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. :silly: TMI, I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128523 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 16:16:19 +0000 meredithNYC 2128523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128455 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 15:31:53 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2128455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, i had dandruff. So weird. I have never had it before and haven't had it since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128420 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 15:10:02 +0000 wrkbrk 2128420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My eye twitched during the entire TWW. Never happened before, hasnt happened since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/strangest-most-random-pregnancy-symptom#post-2128414 Tue, 31 Mar 2015 15:06:47 +0000 catlady 2128414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p>
