Topic: Weird & Wonderful Pregnancy Symptoms Posted: 04 July 2011 at 3:26pm |
Hi there, thought I would start up this topic as its always interesting to find out other peoples unusual PG symptoms, there seem to be so many out there, and it helps us all to understand whats going on with our bodies, especially to know that someone else is feeling it too.
A couple that I have come across this PG are feeling really cold, it seems normal to be running on the hot side but I've gone through times when I've been freezing and had to walk around with a hottie as well as the heater going. Googled it and found an american site where lots of women experienced it.
My other favourite  is a form of hayfever, (which I don't suffer normally) usually in the middle of the night I will wake up and sneeze a few times, then have a blocked nose the rest of the night, which makes it hard to sleep, some days I get it all day too, remember it briefly with PG 1.

yes have the weird sneezing thing too!
my first symptom before I tested positive was porn star nipples - so combined with my already large bust they were really obvious - it was mid summer and people kept asking me if I was cold - so embarrassing!
also get the cold thing too - especially if I am tired - so I often go to bed cold and then wake up overheated and have to push all the sheets/blankets off - it's like my temperature regulator is faulty

I'm with you choco, I've got insanely large boobs but my nipples took on a life of their own before I got my bfp!
I also developed the most attractive habit of spitting while talking- delightful for the students I teach.

I get the nose thing too ... constantly feels blocked and I catch myself sniffing lots (yuck). I have also had quite a few nose bleeds which is something I don't usually get. I seem to have lots of symptoms so will be glad to get my body back in less than 4 weeks! Yay!

I have the allergy thing too. Think my immune system can't cope with too much at once.
For me I was really hot after ov till about 5 weeks. That is the opposite extreme for me. That is why I thought I was pregnant.
Now I just have really bad hayfever, lots of abdominal pain (I get it anyway) and I did have nerve ending in my breasts that felt like someone was electricuting me lol

I've got the sneezing thing too and the constantly blocked nose. Morning sickness any time of the day it feels like.
Also can't stand raw meat and love cleaning products.
First thing I noticed was really sore boobs like I was going to get my period only it never came and they are still sore.
Lots of abdo pain too and the temperature regulation thing is Faulty.
Super tired all the time, I've been having lots of nana naps. Had lots of random food cravings even before I found out I was pregnant, it is how my husband knew before I did!

I sneeze every morning during breakfast. I did it with DD too, then once she was born it stopped. DH has hayfever all the time so I blame him!

Brrrrrr am with you on the feeling the cold! I don't remember feeling this cold with DD but this pregnancy even with the fire cranking and DH telling me its soo hot in the house I am still cold!
Also insane itchyness over my whole body, legs, tummy, back, arms! No rash really just itchy. M/W didn't seem to worried but driving me fricken insane. I remember getting it with DD too so must just be one of those things.

Hey Mum mum- check the soaps and stuff and shampoo and conditioner you atre using. I get that all the time. I need unscented hypo allergenic sort. Find the protex soap great. I would try a different sort. You will know within a day or two if it is.
It might be that you are more sensitive to somethings. When I am pregnant I can't take any antibiotics as it makes me incredible sick!!

My weirdest "symptom" is that I'm nowhere near as clucky as I was before, even just a few weeks in- I think my biological clock was really ticking, and now that my body thinks the "goal" is achieved, it's kind of calmed down. It also could be that cluckiness was always a symptom of ovulation, but I never really realised, as I wasn't charting.

I have freezing cold feet and the rest of me is stinking hot.
I have started producing ear wax at an alarming rate.
I've had a cold roughly every 4 weeks and when I'm not sick with a cold I'm sneezing and sniffing and dripping from my nose constantly anyways!
I nap randomly hahaha quite annoying to wake up and think 'Oh sh*t I fell asleep again!'
as well as all the usuals - sore boobs, pointy nipples, cravings, tired etc etc Oh and I'm as moody as all ##*! hehehe
