I got the funny taste in the mouth too... I am always chewing gum after everything I eat now. And heartburn... never had it before in my life and now I am eating antacids all the time! It's really not pleasant.
... spending 4 months solidly in bed throwing up 10+ times a day...
... here is one that I never knew about: blocked and bleeding noses. Since I have been pregnant I have had a permanently blocked nose which normally has blood when I blow it (sorry its yukky!) Apparently this is normal for many women in pregnancy because the hormones can make your blood vessels dilate and block up your nose, also making them really close to the surface and easy to bleed. Am I the only one on here with that? Because no one has mentioned that one!

Janey - my sister (17 wks) has that except her nose doesn't stop bleeding. She's been flown to hospital because of it (lives in outback Queensland).

Janey77 I have had constant nose bleeds and a blocked nose the whole way through my pregnancy too. The nose bleeds only stopped about two weeks ago and I haven't had another one since! So your totally normal by the sounds of it!

Same with the nose thing for me.
One major surprise I've had recently is the swollen girlie bits - no-one mentioned that (although it does make it a bit closer for wiping!)
What about the good things - not having a period is fantastic, and the other day I was in a toilet q and all the ladies insisted that I go first!

Ok since all you mummies are revisiting this thread...
did any of you start feeling MS grotty in 3rd trimester?
I've started feeling seedy the last few days and it's the same seedy feeling I had for about a week in the first trimester. Trying to figure out whether I'm sick and should go home or whether I need to suck it up because it's pregnancy related

Great thread GandT...
I'v got the blocked and bleedy nose.... When I got a head cold I ended up bursting my eardrum from blowing my nose. Very painful. Doc said being pregnant had caused my adnoids etc to all swell.
A lot of the above kinda freaks me out!!  but only a bit.

Eww I had this from about 28 weeks onwards, I would feel terribly sick from between 1pm and 3pm every singe day until I gave birth. Only threw up once from it though.
I also craved weird stuff, including tooth paste. I would brush my teeth up to 10 times a day just to get that fresh minty taste. I also had to eat ice cubes all the time, eat peppermints and sniff things that smelt like mint or menthol.
Oh and rolling over in bed is just about not possible when you're heavily pregnant. It hurts and feels like you're ripping something.

The fact that you will have very very VERY few full nights of sleep for about 3 years or so (including last part of pregnancy)

The scans are exciting - they help you fall in love with your little one and give you a perk up when you wonder what the hell you are doing.
Not everyone has bad symptoms - while I did puke a lot until 22 weeks, the rest of my preg has been great. I've got very few aches and pains, can roll over in bed no problem, and have only just started getting up in the night this week.

Some of the good bits:
- Having that chuffed feeling knowing you are making a human being, only mummies can do that
- Seeing baby on a scan
- Feeling baby kick around
- Never feeling alone while pregnant, you always have your bub with you
- Being able to talk to your bump in the car and not feel crazy (even if you look it)
- Having a bump!
- Being able to put on weight without too much worries - you are pregnant not fat
- Giving birth and joing the mummies club. And holding your little treasure in your arms. Ahhhh...
- Kengaroo cuddles with a newborn! I miss those sooo much
- Dicovering what endless love feels like 
I'll stop here, I'm getting too mushy. I just think it's all soooo worth it

yeha i hope so...mw checked iron etc and said it was fine..i honestly think it's him kicking me as she agreed it probably was...interesting though as i have anterior placenta..but guess it doesn't stop side kicks etc:)
I used to need 8-10 hours so it's been a massive adjustment ...one of the reasons I'm not working anymore :)
