Random pregnancy things

I have just noticed that my belly is always cold to touch even though it is just as covered as say my arms (probably more so)
I have just googled this and seems it's just one of those random things due to being stretched out.
Just wondering what other random things you have had during pregnancy that you never would have thought of?

Thick dark hair on my belly!

Yes it disappeared now

AlfieandAnnieRose · 21/12/2015 18:01

No this is my first! Wow so a hairy belly seems common, just one of the many unsavoury pregnancy things kept quiet.
I'm still waiting to glow and look radiant, which is much more talked about! Hmm

My knickers have started to shrink (I refuse to believe it's because my hips have got wider or my ass fatter) Xmas Grin

Yeah restless legs too - horrible feeling!!

Featherstep · 21/12/2015 18:47

Swampy knickers, did not expect this. Feels like a small leak once an hour sometimes.

Nicky333 · 21/12/2015 20:36

My face is falling off every morning - I'm trying loads of different creams but this is dry skin that's drier than I've ever seen before!

My hair has gone greasy. I've had to buy special greasy hair shampoo because I could wash it and by lunchtime it'd be greasy again.

But on the plus side, I am now known to say, 'Baby wants... doughnuts/ice cream/peanuts etc' Grin

"Swampy knickers"
Hilarious and had me giggling because I totally empathise BlushGrin

cheapredwine · 24/12/2015 18:37

Aversion to water on my forehead, just feels horrible.

cantbelieveImquittingcoffee · 24/12/2015 19:29

My lower back is madly itchy on a daily basis - so weird! And the excess dark hair on my face I could do without (it was there before but definitely worse now!)
And how has nobody said farting??

scaredmum2be · 24/12/2015 19:51

Restless bloody legs and tingling feet the second I sit or lie down. It's got me in tears every night, can't watch TV, can't relax. Argh!!!

mrsjskelton · 26/12/2015 15:12

Today it's feel and ankles the size of footballs! They jiggle when I walk Shock

toohardtothinkofaname · 26/12/2015 17:27

I didn't realise reflux could make you vomit Sad

AmyLouKin · 26/12/2015 18:43

Bunged up nose.
Indigestion and heartburn that makes me throw up!
Horrid constipation!
Only feeling like sex in the morning ( which doesn't correspond with when OH fancies it)!
32 weeks and hoping the next 2 months go quickly!

GiraffesAndButterflies · 26/12/2015 18:49

Itchy bump! Could claw at my stretch marks Confused

mrsjskelton · 27/12/2015 19:31

Itchy bump giraffe - get to the midwife!

GiraffesAndButterflies · 27/12/2015 22:45

Xmas Smile thank you but don't worry it's not OC- just bog standard itchy!

cantbelieveImquittingcoffee · 28/12/2015 08:26

A very very grumpy DP - is this normal??
Also have developed weird blotchy red cheeks this week, hoping it doesn't stay forever...

I get fat ankles only after a day at work.

Cantbelieve- how far along are you? My DP has been more dressy during pregnancy (either that or I am taking his attitude the wrong way)

AmyLou - this is me also. Thinking I could become a nun it's been so long Grin

OP posts:
cantbelieveImquittingcoffee · 28/12/2015 20:02

sepa 21 weeks - though the nun situation also applies here (srsly...3 times since the BFP I think??) so perhaps the 2 things are connected??
Also we are renovating out kitchen and has turned into a 2 month fucking disaster saga which is most of the cause of the stress I think!

Kaytee1987 · 29/12/2015 16:10

Feeling sick if I don't eat then feeling uncomfortably full after eating as if I can't digest the food.
Also burping constantly.
And farting which is preferable to the trapped wind pain anyway.
Losing weight whilst stomach and boobs get bigger Hmm
Also 'morning' sickness myth. All day long nausea / sick at any time of the day.

10 weeks.

Kaytee1987 · 29/12/2015 16:12

And dh now thinking it's ok to tell me I have a round stomach. He never would have dared before.

Sneezing hurts. I'm assuming this is to do with organs being pushed out the way.
I look forward to sneezes not hurting again

4 wk i had the driest lips ever and was covering with Vaseline every minute but still looked very scaley. Ok now at 10 weeks. Also the restless legs. They just cant keep still. My main worry at the moment is through no sickness which is worrying. Is this normal.. Also no breast pain. If it wasnt for those 4 pregnancy tests and two months of no periods i wouldnt know i was pregnant at the moment. Mumkin im having the difficulty eating toowithout chocking. Also why do you wake at 3am every morning! Ive never done that.

Kpo58 · 29/12/2015 21:56

My DH being the one who is nesting. Hmm

To feel drained all the time and can only a small amount of plain food in the evenings.

cantbelieveImquittingcoffee · 30/12/2015 22:24

I'm 22 weeks tomorrow, and since yesterday my left heel has been numb.
So weird!!
