My already huge norks got even bigger. I thought it was because I'd generally put on weight, but I lost over 2 stones and they didn't change.

bigger ribcage (sigh)

My periods went the other way - from 7 days really heavy to 3 days really light!

20 lbs heavier.
Tits are much, much bigger.
Changed from a slim hour glass figure to a 'thicker in the middle' shape.

Hair now has more curl, if I get caught in the rain.

Don't feel the cold like I used to,I used to have iced water flowing through my veins.

Now, I have the heating switched off in our room, the spare room and only heat the bathroom and DS's room. This may be down to the high BP that followed the birth of DS.

I used to love spicy food, pre DS I loved Mexican. Chilli con queso (melted cheese with chillies chopped through it)would not last five minutes now I can struggle with guacamole.

Much the same weight, but my waist has disappeared, my ribs don't seem to have gone back to where they were, and I'm sure my feet are wider
