Most of mine have been touched on. My lady parts have a distinct smell now that they have never had in the past. As does my urine. The little hairs on my chin are fun. But also.. I get these teeny tiny pimples on my neck. Not a lot. Just one at a time. But there is always one there. So annoying and not at all attractive!
Lol this thread is awesome! I don't have much to add since you all have listed everything I'm experiencing, thank goodness I'm not alone! The only thing I can say is that during my last pregnancy I got a skin tag on my areola, right at the base of my nipple, and I thought "omg my nipple is growing a nipple!" I squeezed it off and it bled like crazy but it never came back. I check daily now during this pregnancy, I don't need to feel like any more of a freak show than I already do.
I had a skin tag when I was pregnant with DD. I picked at it all the time and it finally fell off without much pomp and circumstance.
Another +1 on the smell of my lady bits...I'm very self conscious of it all the time....
I have this weird spot on my shin that randomly feels wet. I wore a skirt to work today and kept having to check my shin to be sure I didn't have pee running down my legs.
I'm not sure if that is a pregnancy symptom or a phantom symptom. I keep waiting for and expecting the pee leakage.
In the first tri my inner thigh constantly felt warm. I kept thinking I was leaking or spotting or something. Google told me I had a blood clot, but phew I survived.
Also, I think I've been more eager for sex lately than my husband - total role reversal. I even initiated morning sex this morning, which I like never do because 1) bad breath - agh! And 2) this is way tmi, but... Normally I hold my pee too long and feel like I go numb down there by the morning. Not anymore!!

The gas, oh the gas, from both ends! The discharge is terribly gross and the constipation makes me an angry little troll. I really don't remember this last pregnancy. I must have been lost in bliss somewhere. That or my body is 5 years older now and says "Screw you, lady!"
My nips are so itchy but they're super sensitive and I can't even scratch them.
My boobs aren't really sore anymore, but my nipples are so sensitive! I have to shield them when I'm in the shower so the water spray doesn't make me cry!
When I saw the title, I was thinking to myself, "Yes! An appropriate thread to share my frustrations with excess discharge and subsequent smell and irritation!"
I didn't realize the ear wax and excess boogers were due to pregnancy! Just thought my body had went nuts!
For all of you with new hair, I'm sorry to say that mine didn't go away after birth. I actively have to work to make sure I'm beard-free these days. WTF.

Last time I had a mole turn into a skin tag. It was near my lady bits in a place I shave so it was a pain in the ass. So one day (after DS was born) I drank some liquor, took a pair of sharp nail clippers, and now it's gone!

I've had the problem of chin/jawline hairs since puberty, and it really is annoying to need to pluck a few hairs out every other day. It was kind of a relief to learn that the likely reason I have had this hair problem is I have PCOS (not saying I'm glad I have PCOS, but it explains some things).
I also second the discharge, different smelling urine, and the prenatals also make my pee neon yellow which freaked me out at first but a simple google search calmed my tits Also have to share that I'm super thrilled to still have a BM every morning considering I've been so regular over the past couple years I don't think I could handle being constipated.

This is me too. And it doesn't help that my husband always pinches them to make me squeal.
My prenatal pill makes me pee neon yellow. I have a competition with myself every night to see how light I can make it by drinking more water.
Also, my first pregnancy I had so much discharge that I constantly thought I was losing amniotic fluid. My dog would seek out my underwear to rip up because apparently he thought it smelled appealing. I lost several good pairs of maternity pants as well. This time I'm using more pantliners and keeping that jerk away from my pantaloons.
My dog has totally done this! She's always had a thing for small pieces of fabric- socks, underwear- but a couple months ago she'd regularly go rooting around in the laundry pile and come running into the living room with a pair of my dirty undies triumphantly clutched in her mouth. *gags*
My dog has done this since I've had her. So for five years I've dealt with lost underwear, holey underwear, and my favorite; when I stay at my moms she drags my underwear out into the dog pen for all the world to see. You could probably see a few flashy pair out there on Google Earth.

This is TMI, embarrassing, and slightly graphic just to warn...
So when I was pregnant with my first I was dilated to 4cm the last month. I had him July 3rd 2011( Sunday) on June 24 (Friday) I went in to see a male doctor in the practice I had never seen. He did my internal exam and nothing has changed...until he went to pull out his hand and it was covered in what looked like A gigantic bloody snot booger. He said, "well and that would be your mucus plug!" I was going between being mortified this had happened and wanting to vomit. He was like oh relax happens sometimes no big deal. But still one of the most disgusting and embarrassing moments of my life!
My TMI for the day: Had a mean poop (finally!) this morning. Wiped to see bright pink blood. Trying not to panic I separately wipe each exit area to find that I indeed, was bleeding from the pooper. I will be so happy when this constipation thing is done with.
This is more weird than TMI, but I realized this week that I'm reaching the point where it no longer "feels good" to pee. I don't know if everyone experiences this or not, but I definitely remember it from my first pregnancy. Like, I never get that 'ahhhh' relief feeling because the pressure is just constant.
doctaco if I can get away with "bleeding from the pooper" on here, I'm so doing it. Lord knows FI would give me the most disgusted look if I said anything to him. Glad I could make someone laugh about it!

this! i remember my first pee after my water broke during labor last time... it felt so good!!! it was like i hadn't peed normally in months!
TTC: 2/14 DX: w/PCOS:6/14 1st round of letrozole: 9/14- bust 2nd round of letrozole: 10/14- thought it was a bust BFP: 11/7/14 Discovered baby B (twins) 12/1/14
My nips are so itchy but they're super sensitive and I can't even scratch them.
And this! I have been rubbing instead of scratching, and I have made this hickey looking spot right next to the one on the left from rubbing through my shirt. WEIRD!
