I'm curious, did your child from that pregancy also end up being a "meatatarian" as my son did? During my pregnancy with him, I craved quarter pounders with cheese and ate them at least 4 times per week. Disgusting to think about now, but I couldn't help it. |

totally normal but as soon as i started feeling the intense fatigue (about two weeks after conception) i just knew. i took a test on a monday and was surprised it was negative. took another one on saturday and...positive!
also glad to hear that others have mellowed out too! i thought it was just me. i am usually so high strung and anxious and i thought for sure my hormones would make me have an even shorter temper. but i feel much more relaxed and calm now. |

| I'm very very emotional. I eat about every two hours and I have crazy dreams including the sex dreams and so much worse. |

| I throw up when I brush my teeth in the morning. And, I have crazy food aversions - I used to eat salads every day for lunch, and now just thinking about eating a vegetable makes me want to throw up! I've eaten more donuts in the last two days than I did in the year before that. And, if we didn't have a blizzard outside, I'd be at Dunkin Donuts for another two. So unhealthy, but I don't feel like eating anything, so donuts it is! |

I also had intense thirst, like I could not drink enough water. It was crazy. And I slept ALL the time. Luckily during the first two weeks we were on vacation but I was not that much fun--went to bed at 9pm and took a 2 hour nap during the day.
So so sad that it's a blizzard outside because I would practically give my left arm for a 5 Guys burger right now. |

| Nobody talks about drooling.... too much saliva should have given away my pregnancy this time around, but I must have been in denial. |

| Weirdest thing ever: I could get high off the smell of lavender. Has to be the real deal and no extras like Vanilla or other mix-ins. I prefer the products by Avalon, Method and Aura Cacia. Wish I could just eat it, but instead stand there smelling it like some kind of addict. Interestingly, my SIL who is a nurse/researcher says that lavender has estrogen in it, so I don't know if that's related. I just know that as soon as the baby comes (3 weeks!!) I'll stop my sniffing. |

Yeah both kids are little carnivores. That's why my evil DH did what he did because we'd been arguing back and forth about raising them veggie. It also turned out I was very anemic, so along with the meat cravings I had almost extreme fatigue. Then when I was pregnant with DS 2 I didn't find out for awhile, but I should have known because every night after work I made a mad dash to McDonalds for a quarter pounder meal. Now I'll only stop at Mickey D's under extreme duress, and then the only thing I want are the fries. |

| Sponge-lady, you have my dirt-craving beat right there! At least with dirt, I figured I needed some sort of mineral (and I started drinking the most chalky tasting mineral water I could find). Not sure what kind of nutritional needs are predicted by a kitchen sponge, though! |

Two new freckles -- one on my tummy and one on my palm. I'm fairly freckly, but these are definitely new, and darker than the freckles I already had. And they weren't caused by sun exposure -- my tummy was definitely covered from very early on!
Also, towards the end, the hair on my legs barely grew at all. I could easily go a week without needing to shave, whereas usually it's every other or every 2 days at most. That stopped immediately after giving birth. |

everytime i pee (which is very frequent), i sit and make sure all is gone, wipe, flush, stand up, wash hands, leave and then 2 minutes later a little pee (or something) drips out. what is that? this is my first pregnancy, and i have heard of this happening after you have a baby...but not before.
oh i have crazy dreams, last night i dreamt that my breast implant fell out of my chest and there was a gaping whole in my chest and i could see my lungs and heart. and i couldn't for the life of me get ahold of my plastic surgeon to fix it. i'm always dreaming too that i am single and sleeping with all of these different hot guys... |
