I would love to know about all those! We all know the popular ones like cramps, missed period, sore boobs and fatigue and all but really want to know about the ones about which people don't talk about 😆😆!!

Insane sense of smell. Someone drove by with their car window open and could smell they owned a horse and were a smoker 😂

@MrsHarrison87 I have a wide stretch mark on mine too where no hair grow 😂
And skin tags. The itchiest nipples ever. Random patches of eczema. Pulsative tinnitus in one ear. Carpal tunnel

I got the pulsatile tinnitus, still got it 15 years later.

The itching and the constant never ending thirst, which of course led to the constant never ending need to pee.

I had this too! Crazy!

UrsulaBursula · 07/07/2022 21:49

The desire to eat bricks and cleaning sponges

I could smell cigarette smoke the entire 9 months, both times. 24/7. My youngest is 7 now and if I smell smoke my first thought is 'am I pregnant?'

Chickoletta · 07/07/2022 21:51

Raging libido - I was permanently horny from about 10 weeks onwards, both times!

Twosidestwoplayers · 07/07/2022 22:03

So much saliva, waking up with drool everywhere.

Gagging when I brush my teeth and at the smell of deodorant (I still use them 😂)

Insomnia and super sense of smell too.

Sally7645 · 07/07/2022 22:08

Insane sense of smell which I think contributed to me having savage morning sickness both times for 6 months

In fact it never left and now my sense of taste is so strong as a result that I can taste the dishwasher tablet (regardless of brand!) on my plate when eating 😑

I had Geographic tongue with both pregnancies. It was really painful but thankfully cleared up near the end of each pregnancy.

My feet also grew and never shrunk back so I really struggle to find shoes to fit now as they're so wide. They also became really sweaty which is gross as they rarely sweated before and it seems to be permanent :(

Interesting to read the comments about pulsatile tinnitus as I suffer with this and it's been really bad for the past year - I had my second baby 4mths ago. Never occurred to me it could be due to pregnancy.

justasmalltownmum · 07/07/2022 22:26

Drool! I even read online that you produce more saliva in the first trimester.
Middle of a meeting, 6 weeks pregnant and I drooled. Gross

A sense of smell like a bloodhound. I could smell strawberries 100m away.

Yes to the bloodhound skills. I could smell hot chocolate 100m away outside

Rachaelrachael · 07/07/2022 22:29

Tinnitus which suddenly started around 6 weeks pregnant and never went away 😥

jamesspaderismine · 07/07/2022 22:29

Sleep Orgasms - woke up having a spontaneous orgasm a few times. Nice but rather disturbing

Chasingclouds100 · 07/07/2022 22:49

The first sign was a really sensitive face that couldn’t be touched. I also went off chocolate completely during both pregnancies - couldn’t stand the stuff and I’m a chocoholic!

I got permanent sweaty hands and feet too! I used a cheap iontophoresis machine to make it stop! Or apply driclor before bed and wash off in the morning and after a couple weeks you only have to apply it every now and then x

Gagging at the thought of a KitKat Chunky 😂

I had this too 😂and vivid dreams in general.

The insane desire to brush my teeth and guns all the time

wanting to eat / bite sponges. Or chew sponges / scrub daddy sponges

im so glad it went away after I gave birth.

Well that’s one way to make sure no one takes the piss with your hormones - have your gun ready 😂

romdowa · 08/07/2022 07:29

My sweat smelled different and increased in pregnancy . Also my feet grew in length , my consultant said that some women's hands grow larger 🤣 my eye sight got worse as well when I was pregnant.

DillonPanthersFNL · 08/07/2022 07:32

Crohns went away

georgarina · 08/07/2022 07:35

One of my back teeth really hurt. I kept going back to the dentist but they couldn't find anything. It went away after I gave birth and now it's hurting again 🤔

blitzen · 08/07/2022 07:35

Massive dark rings around my nipples

mrsgtobe97 · 08/07/2022 07:36

I can now no longer drink out of plastic cups, has to be glass or I instantly want to vomit 🥲
