My feet shrunk too! Also, I used to be a mosquito magnet and it was terrible bc i was really allergic to them (my bites would swell to the size of pancakes and last for 2 weeks) and I just realized I barely had 1 bite this whole summer! Maybe my chemical composition changed slightly to be less appealing to them??

@chibee I've noticed the same thing with Mosquitos! Ever since I was pregnant, they totally leave me alone.

My feet grew half a size. I'm no longer lactose intolerant (I was VERY intolerant since grade school!). My teeth are very sensitive to cold. Rib cage expanded.

My feet shrank slightly and I have worse acne than high school.

My rib cage permanently expanded, too. My weirdest one though is that my eyesight got better! I can't remember how much it changed, but when I went to get new glasses (because baby grabbed mine and broke them of course), my prescription was significantly different. And LO is two years old now and it has stayed better.

@su9su9: Me too. I was always prone to motion sickness before but it's definitely worse now.

My hips spread in a way that my tailbone is more exposed... so now, it gets bruised almost every time I try to do a set of sit-ups.

I also get motion sickness easier now! So weird! I can barely stand to sit in the back seat of a car anymore. I used to only have it if I was reading in the car or if it was a really winding bumpy road.

On the plus side, my vision improved! I've always been near sighted and my prescription improved a little after having my daughter.

My feet shrunk too, although I think the might be due to weight loss? I had put on a lot of weight after getting married and I lost most of it after being pregnant. My hair also got curly/wavy!

My eyesight got worse. AF and O got way worse but cycles got more regular. My waist got wider even with the same weight (I used to be more hourglass, now I'm more ruler-like).

I have allergies now...

I have way less armpit hair now! Major plus.

I have really bad foot pain that doesn't seem to be going anywhere despite only being ~9lbs from pre-pregnancy weight. It's so bad I have to hobble around after I wake up or if I've been sitting too long. my skin is also a total mess.

Ribcage expanded, eyesight got worse, I get motion sickness realllly easily, I don't really turn red when I drink alcohol anymore (I used to get the Asian glow after just a sip!!), and I've developed a gluten allergy. Yesterday I took just a bite of granola (bc I love granola! Couldn't resist), and I started breaking out in hives all over my arm. SUCKS.

Negatives:
- developed asthma (sucks!)
- easy to trigger lower back pain
- poorer short term memory
- tongue hurts when eating acidic things
- when I sleep my arms need to be resting at my side or they get numb and tingly really easily

Positive:
- face cleared up and hardly breakouts anymore
- eyes are whiter and more moist (used to have dry eye)

I am pretty sure I sweat a LOT more now. I never used to be sweaty so this is a big change for me!

@Chuckles: my eyesight got better too! It is still terrible but both eyes improved.

I also think my skin is worse. It was amazing during pregnancy but now it seems like I always have a monster zit somewhere on my face.

My husband SWEARS my toes are longer. I have very very small toes and he thinks they're hilarious, but PP he always tells me they're a little longer even though I don't think so.
