My skin has been completely unpredictable, i.e., normal one day and completely parched the next.

Oh, and my hair was on the oily side during my first trimester, but now is back to normal (at 22 weeks).

@SorryCharlie: I totally agree, If there's pain, You should gain! I was worried that my boobs would grow too much (I started with a 32D), and right now I am starting to spill out of my 32DD. : / (I hope they stay where they are! *fingers crossed*)

@JessLC: My body hair hasn't increased (knock on wood) . . . although there is a small chance that I am not fully evolved. The range of symptoms and differences between all pregnancies, even as between women who experience multiple pregnancies, is fascinating!

@JessLC: I also did not expect the fast growing body hair!!

Some say it means you are having a boy! I added to my conflicting list of old wives tales

My first symptom was a rash under my wedding ring. Also, I have so much extra hair that when I had my eyebrows done today, she offered to do my upper lip for the first time. So embarrassing! (My tummy is ridiculous with hair. Though my nails are PERFECT with zero effort.) Also, I knew to expect and increased sense of smell - but I didn't realize I'd be able to smell my husband's wedding ring from 4 feet away (on the plus side, there's NO point to use a timer for the oven.)

I'm 10.5 weeks at this point and my acne is out of control (I feel GROSS). I also had what I refer to as stabbing vagina pain for about 3 weeks---occasionally made me gasp for my breath, but according to my doctor is was totally normal. I still get that pain occasionally, but not nearly as often as during weeks 5-8.

For me it was the constant runny nose... and the 9 months of nausea. My mom never had morning sickness, so I was totally surprised when I had very severe morning sickness.

I had a horrible taste in my mouth, usually a metallic taste for weeks.. I also got lot of hair on my belly

@mediagirl: OMG, groin pain too! Sooo bad.

Also the constantly stuffy nose, and the crazy dark hairs that are now growing around my belly button (TMI?) I'm a little too scared right now to pluck them off

lower back pain as soon as I entered the second trimester, I thought that was reserved for the 3rd! I could barely walk for a couple days due to the pain.

My body hair growth actually slowed down for me both pregnancies (don't hate me!). I haven't shaved my legs once this pregnancy so far! And usually I have to shave at least once a week.

My head hair growth, however, has been out of control. I look like a lion.

My body odor went through the roof! It's still not so bad, probably not noticeable to others, but I usually have ZERO. Now even when I wear deoderant I can smell myself, and I have to wash my clothes so much more often.

@Alivoo01: don't be sorry. It's so out of control. I need to get it thinned out or something. But I'm in a wedding in a week so I'm waiting til after that. Until then it's lion time.
