What was your worst pregnancy symptom?

[Jasperlove]

Just curious what your worst pregnancy symptom was. Thanks.

After the sickness I'd say the heartburn lol

heartburn on my last 2. The itch was pretty unbearable too.

Migraines. Almost daily for two months.

what I thought was a sore rib from kicking that turned out to be liver pain from pre eclampsia

Exhaustion

Insomnia. I’m possibly the only new mother ever who got more sleep after the baby was born than before.

Sickness day and night for first 16 weeks and then the exhaustion towards the end where I just fell asleep anywhere!

PUPPS - an unbearable itch that was from head to toe. It burned constantly and left a dreadful rash. I couldn't sleep and would wake with blood on the sheets where I was scratching myself in the night. I itched constantly and I was just so low at that point. Only thing that helped was calamine lotion. I put it in a spray bottle to spray when it got bad! It was a hormone thing I think. It was meant to go away after birth but it came back worse when I breastfed. Oh and the heartburn sucked too. That was horrible!!

First trimester, morning sickness.
Second trimester- heartburn
Third trimester- uncomfiness and heartburn

CONSTANTLY feeling desperate for the toilet, like a 9 month UTI!

Nasty morning sickness, I was sick about 5 times a day, almost every day for 5 months. I know others have it worse but that was pretty shit. I had really bad sciatica too, which stopped me exercising which used to be my coping mechanism for stress etc so that led to some challenging emotional states and the consumption of an awful lot of chocolate.

24/7 nausea up to 20 weeks

Carpal tunnel syndrome in the last few weeks - tingling hands keeping me awake at night

Hyperemesis throughout. It ruined my dental health for two years

Carpal tunnel which is still agony 18 months on

Insomnia and the subsequent exhaustion

I honestly don't know how I did it twice. So please I am done with pregnancy!

I already developed weird swelling in the third trimester that resulted in losing my hearing and having a tongue so swollen I had a lisp for the last 6 weeks.

*Also developed

Raging horn! I'm in danger of trying to incite an orgy on the train home most days 😂

Baby sat on my bladder and sent me into urinary retention so I couldn't see. Had to be catheterised for two weeks.

Restless leg... but only in my left leg! It was tortuous and drove me to tears some nights. My husband instilled a nightly routine of bath, leg and foot massage, banana and magnesium spray and this helped a bit. Strange how something that doesn't really hurt can cause so much discomfort and distress! De

Hyperemesis with major weightloss.

And then the food aversions. So many of them

Severe SPD. I've cried most days in my last 2 months because of it. It's hell.

Only 2 weeks to go now!!

Sickness with all 4 pregnancies. It lasted every day till I delivered

The constant worry about things going wrong.

Just the one? It's hard to choose between SPD, heartburn, sickness and fatigue.

A strange burning sensation and cramps in my calfs during the night in the 3rd trimester and mild heartburn...apart from that I've made it to 34 weeks relativley unscathed :)

I hadn't hyperemesis followed by SPD and I ended up on crutches. I don't do pregnancy very well and I'm very pleased to have finished with it!
