I'm not too far along with this pregnancy, but the last one it was: hip pain, heartburn, and never getting enough sleep (because I had to wake up to pee every hour)

Nausea that doesn't go away no matter what
Exhaustion, utter, utter exhaustion even if you don't do anything!
Indigestion (I have it right now in 2nd tri)

1. Weight gain (I'm really struggling with embracing this)
2. General uncomfortableness - whether this is morning sickness, RLP, heartburn... it seems every time one of those ailments goes away another one crops up. I am a revolving door of complaints to my husband.
3. Not feeling like your body is yours - I don't particularly love strangers touching me (I guess no one does?) and lately I feel like I'm a vessel for the baby, not me. I guess it's preparing me for everyone being disinterested in me once the baby comes.

No matter what, though, I am so happy to be pregnant and just really struggling today.

- throwing up 5x a day for 25+ weeks (oh, and not to mention PEEING from throwing up so hard - how depressing)
- feeling like I'm going to faint from not eating enough (whether from getting sick so often, not having an appetite, monitoring my diet closely from having GD)
- insomnia...at nearly 35 weeks, I'm getting less sleep than I did with my newborns.

22 weeks, so I'm sure more will pop up, but so far:

- horrible knee pain
- never feeling fully rested b/c I wake up to pee so often
- heartburn

*first tri - all-day headaches that nothing would touch

*second tri - horrific, rib-breaking pressure from carrying high and having a small rib cage

*third tri - my MIL constantly telling me how huge I was (even though I wasn't at all - I only gained 29 pounds and I was all belly and boobs). And my boobs taking over my face.

Only 15 weeks (almost! Tomorrow!)
Headaches. Horrible tension headaches
Hotflashes and nausea which popped up around 11 weeks and are still going strong
I am so blessed though

#1 - gallbladder pain that meant I had to give up all delicious foods
#2 & #3 - due to being a huge whale at the end, back pain and trouble getting comfortable enough to sleep!

Dislocated hips, which caused me to need PT, prevented me from sleeping for months, and gave me hell during delivery

Carpal tunnel from 22 weeks on, and the subsequent loss of feeling in both of my hands

Tie between 18 weeks of morning sickness (nausea all day, every day) at the beginning and 4 weeks of false labor at the end

@grizz: hip pain during pregnancy is a peach, isn't it?

Rib pain
Back pain
Constant bathroom breaks!

1. morning sickness - although i didn't have it as bad as some people, it made me absolutely miserable and i lost a bunch of weight in the first trimester.

2. sciatica pain - i had SEVERE pain that lasted for about a week and thank goodness the baby moved bc i feel so much better lately.

3. lack of pee control. that's all.

All day constant nausea for the first 20 weeks that returned towards the end of the 3rd tri

Heartburn / reflux in 3rd tri

Constipation

-Nausea. Every day until I pushed him out. I was even throwing up between pushes.

-Related, major food aversions. The only thing I could consistently keep down over my entire pregnancy were peanut butter sandwiches. I lost a good amount of weight at the beginning, and had a lot of trouble gaining later.

-My MW kept telling me it was RLP, and it might have been, but I had this consistent burning, tearing pain on the front right side of my belly, which got worse whenever I moved at all...it was almost unbearable to shift near the end.

Runner up: anxiety from a recent miscarriage.

1. Swelling - I started swelling around 22ish weeks, and it didn't stop until I delivered (I gained 8 pounds of fluid in my last week alone!);

2. Migraine that lasted 5 weeks (from weeks 16-21) . . . I was seen by multiple specialists . . . it was a nightmare;

3. Complications that resulted in an early, unplanned induction.
