First I developed pica- I had the urge to eat ice and snow, a bar of soap, my daughters blocks...<br /> Then I started itching like crazy, especially in my hands and feet, which turned out to be cholestasis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336497 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 07:25:50 +0000 LulaBee 2336497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Discharge (how can there be so much?), carpal tunnel (sleep with braces on both wrists), slower growing leg hair (still shave about once a week). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336439 Wed, 28 Oct 2015 05:37:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 2336439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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! </p> <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336378 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 23:26:35 +0000 simplyfelicity 2336378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leg cramps, moles, and hairless legs....I loved not having to shave! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336374 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 23:05:30 +0000 HLK208 2336374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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 😁 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336368 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 22:48:10 +0000 Mrs Panda 2336368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leg cramps, uncontrollable bloody noses, skin tags... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336341 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 21:18:16 +0000 Foodnerd81 2336341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> <p>@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...</p> <p>Oh and my nipples are crusty and flaky, have been since first trimester this time. It's itchy. </p> <p>I'm a hot pregnant mess... With very little hair on my legs. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336338 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 21:15:19 +0000 alphagam84 2336338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: My hands do that too! It's so weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336282 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:18:27 +0000 MoonMoon 2336282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336261 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 20:04:57 +0000 mrsrain 2336261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: I have the BO issue this time, too. I feel like I stink all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336108 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 18:12:25 +0000 stratosphere 2336108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336012 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:32:46 +0000 Golden 2336012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My weirdest is that my right shin would itch like mad every night in bed. Only the right. Only right before bed. So odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336005 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:23:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 2336005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had little to no leg hair! and armpit hair! Went back to normal after delivery, boo.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>I feel like there were more but I can't remember!</p> <p>Remembered another one! My laugh changed! When I'm laughing uncontrollably I used to be silent and now I have this raspy sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2336001 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:13:48 +0000 wrkbrk 2336001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Now that you mention it, same for mine! HUH! I think the weirdest symptom has been being soooooooo hot all the time. I used to run cold! Now I cannot stop sweating at work everyday. Charming, I know. #37weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335987 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:06:11 +0000 travellingbee 2335987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alphagam84: yes yes same here </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335979 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 16:01:06 +0000 travellingbee 2335979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: I have that with the hands. Trigger fingers. One is really bad now.</p> <p>Also the nose bleeds. And random sores on my tongue. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335942 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:26:06 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2335942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335936 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:22:13 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2335936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Increased ear wax! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335920 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:08:45 +0000 blackbird 2335920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: Right? I couldn't get something nice. Had to have a disfiguring skin condition. Fucking pregnancy :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335916 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:07:39 +0000 josina 2335916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I only had weird pregnancy symptoms... frequent bloody noses, and my ears were constantly plugged / needed to pop. Sooo annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335911 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 15:04:07 +0000 alphagam84 2335911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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.</p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335899 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 14:56:15 +0000 reverie 2335899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsrain: @pastemoo: @BandDmommy: Ha you're all making me feel more normal! I got a sonicare when I was pregnant with my son and it times you 30 seconds for each quadrant.... I thought I just sucked at brushing my teeth previously. Then once I had him I was fine. Pregnant again and it's even worse! If I opt to floss before hand I have to take like a twenty minute break before I attempt to brush! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335896 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 14:52:49 +0000 mrsrain 2335896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@reverie: me too.

Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weirdest-pregnancy-symptomside-effect#post-2335881 Tue, 27 Oct 2015 14:44:56 +0000 BandDmommy 2335881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@reverie: same here.
