Most irritating pregnancy symptom

Not the most painful, the worst or anything: just the one that ANNOYS you the most (in my case for its UTTER pointlessness).

In my case it's the bunged up nose. Why? WHY, inventor of pregnancy? Why is it necessary to render it impossible to breathe? Do you have shares in Kleenex or something?

I swore I would not gripe or grumble about this very much wanted pregnancy. But it would be nice to be able to breathe AND eat and not have to choose one or the other. I don't know where my lungs are now but I suspect they are crushed to the size of a walnut next to my pea sized stomach. I am only 27 weeks. Wah!

itchy itchy skin:(

The bladder issues. Never properly emptying, occasionally getting nudged by the baby, needing to go far too often.

Ligament pains. Why did no one tell me I would spend the last three months of pregnancy with random stabbing fanjo pain Hmm

I have a list, blocked nose, needing to pee every hour, aching hips, waking up and unable to get back to sleep, but the last one has it. I could cope with not being able to breathe after walking up the stairs, with feeling like I'd climbed a mountain after walking along the High St (slowly) with the wind, the constipation, the aching feet, the greasy hair and the spots if I could just get a decent night's sleep! As it is I wake up at least four times a night and lie awake staring at the walls until I tire myself out enough grumbling to fall back to sleep.

Needing to pee almost as soon as I had stood up from the last one.

Mole overgrowth - annoying because they won't disappear afterwards.

Heartburn and being out of breath! I take my dog for daily walks for 30-40 mins and I'm exhausted after 5 mins ! DH finds it really funny how it can suddenly be like that lol.
Heartburn is bugging me, esp when I got it in class last week(primary teacher) and had to dash out to grab some milk! Was so uncomfortable!

Other than that I've been very lucky my skins always been pretty crap but think it's bit bette

Thrush, itchy boobs and fanjo piles...

theonlyhb2 · 07/05/2011 09:17

my left nipple.....its got massive!! It is now blatantly twice the size of the right one.

nickelbabe · 07/05/2011 09:45

I've also realised that I get a period-type pain, exactly where it would be, whenever I need a poo.
It's quite frustrating, and is actually quite painful. Confused

PavlovtheCat · 07/05/2011 09:51

I shan't talk about the worst bit as that is not what you are asking, so the most annoying thing (in addition to the worst bit), was from about 32 weeks onwards when DS decided to 'hang' off my ribs! In fact, both my children did this!

Facial hair :(
I have sideburns that noddy holder would be proud of.

JBrd · 07/05/2011 10:26

Oh, the bunged up nose, no doubt. I have not been able to breath properly since November, and (sorry, TMI) the amount of mucus I've been producing is unbelievable...

My most irritating pregnancy symptom, the one that annoys me the most?

It is, without doubt, my DH.

I am really suffering with MS and fatigue with this one, to the point where yesterday I had to lay flat all day or I got dizzy. But still he manages to say stuff like "Are you going to put another load of laundry on?" or "If you're making a tea can I have one?" grrrrrr.

Sorry, I know that's not what you meant.

Oh, and the constipation!

WiiUnfit · 07/05/2011 11:19

Another vote for restless leg syndrome :(

Oh and TMI - leaky (and consequently crusty) nipples! Blush

suntansue · 07/05/2011 11:47

The thing I'm really hating is the sudden cramps I get in my feet/toes, it's really bloody painful, wakes me up or makes me drop with the pain and it's getting almost every day now :(
Never suffered this before so it's got to be a pointless pregnancy symptom

Famouslastwords · 07/05/2011 11:55

Too many to choose one!
Trapped wind, constipation and the itching! The bloody itching!
Ooh I must have been so attractive!
