For me, it's heartburn. I asked my nurse about it, and she told me Tums or Maalox should help. Then my ob just wrote me a prescription, for it. I don't believe in taking prescriptions or having surgeries that are unnecessary. I went and had it filled but I never took it because I'm a little afraid to I guess. Then I tried Tums, but I got this pain in my chest after taking them, so I never took them again. So, I've just been dealing with the heartburn, which is pretty bad. What is your worst pregnancy symptom?

I feel really lucky to have an easy pregnancy and delivery. I didn't have that much of a hard time. I didn't even had morning sickness. But I guess the worst pregnancy symptom I had was during my first month on my first baby. I had a flu-fever, cold, cough, headache, which is really unusual for me. It was just a flu, I know but what makes it really bad is the fact that I didn't know yet I was pregnant at that time and I took a couple of meds which I thought then would harm my baby. I feel blessed, that it didn't. I had a healthy, adorable son 8 months after:)

When I was pregnant... As gross as it sounds, going #2 was the worst thing ever. I swear, i would start crying anytime I had to go #2. I think it was most likely just all of the abdominal pressure.

Hi There Mrsgoodygoody,
My worst pregnancy symptom was nausea and vomiting. I did not know it was a pregnancy symptom until i had my home pregnancy test. I was working in my office table when i suddenly experience like a vertigo. Good thing i was sitting down so i just close my eyes but after a while i felt like vomiting. Minutes later, i had vomitted, and it was just awful. I feel really sick that i was not able to go to work the following day. But still i am very happy to learn i was pregnant. I'm on my 14th week now and i feel good already. :)
