I don't want to jinx myself... but heartburn. I'd never had it in my life, and it sounded so uncomfortable. So far, I only had something that I think was heartburn once in the first trimester. Now at 30 weeks, I'm still anxious about it starting!

@Sapphiresun: Same! I am 29 weeks today and so far no heartburn/indigestion. I am so hoping I luck out and never experience it!

Next would be insomnia--I am still sleeping pretty well and I feel so lucky for that!

Morning sickness! Instead I was blessed with extreme GERD...bleck.

@tlcbaby: same. So far so good but who knows what delivery will do.

Also, I read a lot about skin tags, I haven't gotten any.... Yet?

@.twist.: I just had two tiny skin tags show up in the past couple weeks (around 38 weeks)! I want to ask my midwife about them at my next appt. even though I have heard they are normal.

I am also terrified of hemorrhoids. Luckily I never got it with DD! I did get morning sickness and have it now with this pregnancy. It's awful. My boobs never got bigger, not even when my milk came in.

I'm half kidding, but I REALLY didn't want my belly button to pop out. DH thought it was hilarious and would check it every day and joke that it was on its way out. It hadn't budged when I delivered at 36 weeks. I did have most of the actually bad pregnancy symptoms though, so I guess it was nice to focus on one that didn't matter!

@mrsmate: did you do anything to avoid them?

@mrsmate: hahaha if you find any info on a 2x a day rice diet, let me know ! Hahaha

Um, I got all of them. My morning sickness wasn't terrible, but I did my fair share of morning/afternoon/night heaving. One time I was eating rigatoni, took three bites, and then threw it up right back into the bowl. Mmmm... pregnancy!

@tlcbaby: @.twist.: @JessKas: I never had a single rhoid in my life... including pregnancy. Until I delivered a baby. I was an effective/strong pusher & pushed myself right to hemorrhoid town. Almost 4 months later & I'm still dealing with it. Start praying them away now!

@JessKas: omg.... I'm sure that was horrifying....

Is there any pain a roid can be compared to? Honestly they scare me more than birth....

@.twist.: imagine pooping glass shards.

@photojane: nooooooooooo

Boobs here, too. They grew a little bit after he was born (when my milk came in) but definitely not porn star boobs.

Heartburn. I only had it once and it was because of something I ate. And I was really lucky with the swelling, even delivering in August I only had mild swelling--I did have to take my ring off but just barely.

Vomiting in public or at work. Luckily (hah) I only vomited in the privacy of my home.

Tearing. I'm pretty glad I avoided incontinence and morning sickness too. This thread's actually making me feel better about some of the things I don't like (lingering stretch marks, giant boobs, etc) because it could have been so much worse!

Definitely morning sickness. Never had that problem. A CLOSE runner up is the peeing myself problem. Didnt haventhat either.

Morning sickness! I had only one terrible day (involving christening the Target parking lot...twice), but I cannot imagine what you ladies with true morning sickness or hyperemesis go through. Superheroes.

I was afraid of bed rest. Thank goodness I didn't have to...

Morning sickness, bed rest, belly button popping out. With that said, there are plenty of symptoms I did get! Like stretch maps galore.
