What's your favourite side effect of pregnancy?

[knittingirl]

We all know (and are experiencing) the nastier side effects of pregnancy, but what symptoms do you like?

For me, both with ds and with this pregnancy, my leg hair pretty much stops growing so I go from shaving every day to maybe once a week especially good when I'm getting too big to easily reach!

[mummyneedinganswers]

Oh god my hair doesn't stop growing :o I am shaving constantly ... Favorite side effect though would have to be nail growthmy nails are so healthy while pregnant where before they broke constantly x

[Sbear22]

All the attention

[CheesyWater]

My bump.

[FreeButtonBee]

hair much less greasy - wash it only twice a week now rather than every other day.

Leg hair slowed down a lot

Loving having nice white eyes - down to the reduced amount of !

[Unsureif]

My leg hair stopped growing too!

[MrsGentlyBenevolent]

Goodness, I've had an opposite body hair issue - from really slow hair growth, to looking like Chewbacca's mother.

Being on a smoking/drinking break is obviously having great health effects. My taste buds are thanking me as well. Enjoying bump, although still find the squiggles strange. It's the effect its had on my partner I enjoy the most though, never realised what a soft git he was! He seems very happy, which makes me happy (yes, vomit inducing right ).

I've lost 9lbs! And my nails and hair are growing.

[ISpidersmanYouMeanPirate]

Nothing physical - it was 9 horrendous months (both times).

I did sometimes enjoy the kicks, but DS1 had an awful habit of stretching out which was unbearably painful (and made me throw up) and DS2 drummed his legs non-stop for ages. He also did it as a very young baby and everyone flinched when I said it reminded me of his kicks

Feeling them move and knowing that they come everywhere with me in my tummy. It was lovely.

Oh and not having to hold my stomach in to look slimmer, like I try and do when not pregnant.

Being able to ask for (or be offered) a seat on the train and tube

My hair (on my head) is thicker, everywhere else more sparse. Nails become, well, as hard as nails! Enjoying what my body is capable of rather than lamenting its wobbles, dimples etc.

[Fanby]

My skin! It's never been this clear!

[Momzilla82]

For me it was the ahem enhanced libido and the absence of having to worry about getting pregnant

[BeautifulBatman]

My hair has been amazing - I get it washed and blow dried once a week. I barely need to brush it in between.

[GlitzAndGigglesx]

I liked the sympathy . Not that anyone took any action but it was nice to have attention for a change. Oh and of course no periods!

[knittingirl]

Lol momzilla

And no periods! How did I miss that one!

[Mummybear8]

Leg hair is so slow growing, I'm loving it!

Skin is really clear.

Indulging a little bit more in things I fancy because obviously the baby "needs" it...

[milliemanzi]

Being able to wear bodycons etc and not worry about my pot belly cos now it's a preggo belly!
Just having a bump in genera and feeling movement.
Missing wine but enjoying the benefits of not drinking, Monday mornings are a lot easier after not having a boozy weekend!

[moonfacebaby]

My psoriasis disappeared (but it always comes back afterwards )....

[60sname]

Finally having a cleavage! Also clear skin

[twinsandapenguin]

Boobs. Amazing illustrious pregnancy hair and no leg hair

[HaHaPants]

My hair and skin were the best they'd been since I was a child...I thought the skin was due to using Liz Earle...but unfortunately not

[CarShare]

My husband doing his own ironing (too exhausted!)

[ARV1981]

I have a cleavage. Never really had one before. It's a nice novelty!!!

[magpiedreams]

Crazy, vivid dreams - I love that! Only just had BFP this week and getting them already, I'd totally forgotten from my previous pregnancies but v pleased they're back!
