The heart burn. Some people told me they got it and some said they didn't. This is my first and The heart burn is bad. I have to take alot of tums so my husband got me the big bottle at Costco.

My contractions, I thought I would know when I was in labor. I didn't and throughout my whole labor they were not as bad as I had antisipated. I really thought they would be extremely painful, I was very pleasantly surprised!

Black knees...really!  They look dirty but the doctor said it is from the increased melatonin due to pregnancy hormones.  He said it "should" go away!  It looks like I haven't scrubbed my knees in months.  

It is 8 weeks post delivery now and they are still black, although fading.

The pregnancy symptom that surprised me the most was the fact that I couldn't stand to cook in my 1st trimester.  I don't know what it was, but the thought of opening up the fridge and looking at or touching raw meat really disgusted me.  Obviously I had heard of morning sickness and/or cravings (both of which I haven't really had)...but the fact that I couldn't cook the hubby some food was very surprising!

Plus I was lucky enough to get the dark line across my stomache which still hasn't left!!!So swimsuits are out-- but what surprised me even more was how much I could love the little man i gave birth to, and that he could make it all worth while.

PUPPP. It's a real condition that involves papules that appear on your skin around the legs, butt, and adjoining areas. I had a few of these appear during my first pregnancy with my son. It was very uncomfortable and embarrassing. There wasn't anything that could be done about it. But I had to keep them clean. I am now left with scars, small skin tags, indents etc... Luckily with my current pregnancy this did not happen.

Snoring!  I had never snored before I was pregnant (my husband wil vouch for that!), but I started to really snore in December and googled reasons why this would start all of the sudden.  When pregnancy was listed as one of them, I decided to test and sure enough...  Hopefully (for my husband's sake) it will stop once the baby is here!

Only real symptom I've had - ny ribs have been aching since about week 26 (33 weeks now).  The skin all around my ribs feel sunburned and are painful to touch.  I haven't been sick, I haven't had unusual back pain, just my ribs stretching and burning.  Didn't think THAT would be my "big problem" during pregnancy!

I asked my doctor about it and he said it was the most shocking thing he's ever seen and said it was most likely like a stomach gargle but not.?! didn't help too much but it did go away like days before she was born and haven't had it since! But it is extremely difficult to even look at pop rocks without thinking about the feeling in my throat let alone the feeling my little girl gave me in my stomach!

The DISCHARGE!  I have had to wear a panty liner through the entire pregnancy.  I was hoping to be done with panty liner's once I found out I was pregnant but that wasn't the case.

Where do I start!?  I'm at 36 weeks so many things have surprised me over the course of my first pregnancy.  My hands, feet and breasts are very warm to the touch.  They're so hot it feels like they're sunburnt!  My doctor says it's from all the increased blood flow, I just didn't read about that anywhere.  Too bad I'm not in my 3rd trimester during the wintertime, it would've been a much easier adjustment.

This mom of four could certainly use a bit of pampering. I'm just to busy to worry about myself for those sort of things because I'm to busy caring for my children's skin. Dealing with eczema with three of my kiddo's makes all the lotioning I can handle with no time left to feel like lotioning my self. Lather me up, I'm waiting.

Gestational Diabetes--I was cruising along my first pregnancy and was very healthy.  At 26 weeks, during a routine test they found out I had gestational diabetes.  I had to watch everything I ate, write it down in a journal, and prick my finger four times a day to take levels.  I thought all pregnant ladies could have ice cream....but not me!  

Posted by MommytoHenry2    Friday, June 06, 2008 2:23 PM

re: Mama Mio Emergency Repair Kit Giveaway

The symptom that suprised me the most is the separation of my pubic bone.  The hormone relaxin, which is very necessary during pregnancy and should guide the pubic bone to become "nibble", has over-shot and caused it to pull apart more than necessary.  Actually sooner than necessary as well.  The pain has been incredible and sleep is impossible.  Thankfully it returns to normal after the pregnancy, but yeah I had no idea about that one.

re: Mama Mio Emergency Repair Kit Giveaway

For me, the symptom that has been the most surprising is the attack on my own self image.  Before pregnancy, I felt confident in myself and my own beauty.  I wouldn't have considered myself a knockout, but I thought I was pretty and I was happy with the way I looked.  Now, as the belly has expanded, I've noticed that my self image has taken a hit.  It's been tough for me to realize that who I am hasn't change... just the way I look on the outside.  I've had to relearn what I like about myself and make sure that it includes the fact that my body is beautiful because it is growing another human being... another girl, who may one day battle with issues relating to HER self image.  I need to make sure that my self image is strong, no matter what happens to my body, so that one day down the road, I am a good example to the daughter who is currently growing inside me.

My biggest fear is being put on bedrest. Many of my cousins on both sides of my family and my mom (for her first pregnancy) were put on bedrest. They all said it was really hard, and sometimes when they stood up they had contractions. Their babies also had problems for the first few months. It's my biggest fear because I live in another state than my family so nobody would be able to help me while DH is at work.

I was prepared for most things, but my early-onset anti-craving took me by surprise.  I've always loved any kind of olive.  About 4 days after we conceived, we were at a family event and I avoided olives entirely--I started suspecting I was pregnant then and there (I think my family did, too).  Months later, I still avoid olives.  It's not a harmful food and I still want pickles quite often, so I can't figure out why delicious olives are so unappealing!

During my pregnancy I ended up with gallstones.  Apparently this is very common for prenant women due to the elevated hormones.  The pain was excruciating throughout the whole 3rd trimester.  Good news is gallbladder removed when DD was 2 weeks old so my next pregnancy I will not have to worry about gallbladder attacks.  Now I will just have to live with the swollen watermelon feet :0)

I was most surprised by the crazy vivid dreams! I've always been a big dreamer, but almost as soon as I got pregnant, they started getting more and more vivid, weird, and just plain freaky! I've had DH wake up several times from me tossing or talking in my sleep, I've lost the sense of where I was on waking up, and I've even "seen" our little one in my dreams. No one told me about this, but as soon as I mentioned it to my mom (after a rough week of sleep during my first trimester), she assured me that it's very common. Luckily now, I'm used to it, and can get back to sleep without worrying what things mean, but it sure doesn't make it any less weird.

re: Mama Mio Emergency Repair Kit Giveaway

The whole labor and delivery experience was the shock of the pregnancy. I must have been leaking fluid for three days looking back, I just figured it was leukorhea. Then my water broke eight weeks early and I thought maybe I had peed my pants. The contraction monitors at the hospital didn't show anything and it wasn't until we were talking with the ultrasound tech as she was running us upstairs to labor and delivery that we found out we were in labor and were more than halfway dilated!

I expected the morning sickness, swelling, growth in the boobie region, etc., but I had severe heart palpitations and shortness of breath, which I end up having to wear a heart monitor for.   I really wasn't expecting that!  The doctor said it was mild tachycardia and nothing to be concerned about.  I am glad that I mentioned it to my doctor, though, because they were able to rule out anything serious. :)

I know now how to help prevent it and recognizing the signs and we are trying for number two.

I think I was most surpirsed how hard it was going to be to go to work.  I expected to feel bad but I never related it to actually making it to work - the train ride alone is tough to get through with the newly developed motion sickness.  I really don't know how women do this - and usually without telling anyone until 12 weeks.  I'm have such a higher respect for my sex!  Women are strong (though maybe we don't feel like it all the time!)
