What symptoms did you have while pregnant?

Shortness of breath, morning sickness, craving certain foods. Wait. I'm a guy. What am I talking about?

i had "morning sickness" from week 5 until 2 days before i gave birth to my son. i vomited at least 3 times per day. i wound up with gestational diabetes and eventually wound up on insulin shots. that resolved right after i gave birth. i also had carpal tunnel in one of my hands/wrist which i had to wear a wrist wrap for at night. that also resolved as soon as i gave birth. i had the usual fatigue and ups and downs with emotions too.

The very first symptom I had during my first pregnancy happened LONG before I knew I was pregnant - my tastebuds betrayed me! I'd been an avid Pepsi drinker for a LONG time. Then one day I opened one, took a drink, and almost spit it back out. I passed it to my mother and asked her if it tasted funny; she didn't think so. I figured it was a fluke, but every Pepsi I drank after that tasted awful, and I had to give it up. I think it's was Sierra's (my daughter) way of telling me to lay off the caffeine! Other than my tastes changing, I had no symptoms for my first pregnancy until I started gaining weight. With my second pregnancy, I was nauseated all the time, and for the first month, all I wanted to eat was chili! Then I developed a strong aversion to tacos and soft baked pretzels - just smelling one of those was enough to make me vomit. Boy, I don't miss that.

In the first trimester my tastes changed. Couldn't stand coffee. I had an intense craving for fruit and I couldn't cook. I could eat anything other people cooked (after it had cooled abit) but I couldn't stand the smell of food cooking...any food,that was what would make me nauseous. I drank a lot of apple juice throughout my pregnancy. In my last trimester I remember a lot of heartburn. I had to put the head of the bed up on blocks. I also remember in those last few weeks eating a lot of waffles with strawberry jam, whipped cream and maple syrup. I've never eaten waffles like that again (too much sugar!) and I have never ever had apple juice since. I can't stand the smell of it - though for some odd reason I do like hot apples cider.

when i was pregnant with my son i was sleepy all the time. All i wanted to do was sleep. I could not stand the smell of mayo. I never got morning sickness. Heart burn on a few occaisions. By my 7th month i could only sleep on my right side and i was used to sleeping on my stomache. to this day i can only sleep on my right side. I didnt have any food cravings except once and i wanted nachos really bad. other than that just all the weight gain that i still have some left!

With all three of my children, the first pregnancy symptoms I had were a little bit of heartburn. I never experience heartburn when I am not pregnant, so I knew something was up. That symptom lasted throughout pregnancy. I also experienced morning sickness with each child, though it lasted all day, not just morning. The worst was my vomiting everytime I smelled coffee. I never liked coffee, but I worked as a hairdresser while pregnant with my first child, and the coffee station was right behind my station. Every morning as soon as the coffee was made, my coworkers could find me in the bathroom. The look or smell of raw meat (especially ground beef), made me nauseous as well. Morning sickness went away usually around the 5th month with all three of my children. Then the cravings set in. I craved chicken wings with my first pregnancy, and I never liked chicken wings. Now, I love them. I also craved pizza with all three of my pregnancies which I still enjoy.

I don't know about any symptoms while pregnant . Because I have no child . But I have missed my period now. But I have no pregnancy symptoms. Why?

I had mild and all very normal pregnancy symptoms. I LOVED being pregnant!! I had heartburn and morning sickness (all day) for the first three months. I had no idea I was pregnant until 11 weeks, so I was so releaved it was pregnancy and not anything worse. I had the pregnancy glow that you sometimes hear about.... healthy hair and nails, glowing skin. If I craved anything it was watermellon and iced tea. But I was pregnant during the summer in hot Texas..... I'm not so sure it was craving. I might have wanted those things if I wasn't pregos. I experienced some cramping due to dehydration in my last month, but I loved every single cramp. I felt like baby was prepping me for his arrival.... and reminding me "hey, mommy, you might need to drink a little more for the two of us, ya know". Did I mention I loved being pregnant??

While i was pregnant the only symptoms i had was my legs and ankles swellin about two weeks before i delivered. I also gained about 55 pounds while pregnant but, lost seventy two months after i delivered my son. I never really craved anything which was nice.

The last post that was posted was accidentally posted from my sisters account but should of been mine. If you wanna respond please respond to this.

I was ill for the first 3 months from morning until night! and then I craved coleslaw with my first child and food with my second I simply ate and ate all the time.

For the first month or so I had morning sickness but after that I didnt really have any other the urge to have a fried egg sandwich with ranch dressing. I guess I had a very atypical pregnancy to be honest I didnt really have any weird craving other then the one mentioned befor I was tired but hey I worked 12 hour days on my feet the whole time. My son however was born premature two and a half months early and was tiny he weighed about 5 lbs and 2 oz. I was sooo scared that I was going to break him. They do say that there is some kind of magnet that you can get and place on your wrist and that helps morning sickness. There are a ton of other routes then ginger.

When I was pregnant with my son I had severe morning sickness that lasted morning noon and night! It was aweful! Nothing helped I couldn't keep anything down, my OB put me on pills to help with the nausea but I threw them up! The only things that were able to calm my stomache was red gatoraid and those red/white mints. Morning sickness lasted until I was about 4.5months along. Then I felt okay for about 2 months, then I developed Toxemia (which they didn't detect until after i had my son) anyhow I had headaches (severe) every day my legs, arms, face everything was swollen! And I mean the kind of swollen that if I took my socks off i had like a inch and a half indent in my leg from them! The only things I really craved was fruit and chocolate!
