10 THINGS THEY DON'T TELL YOU ABOUT PREGNANCY | WEIRD SYMPTOMS OF BEING PREGNANT

[@sally_1574]

my mum walked in while I was watching this, and she was like "ARE YOU PREGNANT"

[@AshJackson]

Hahaha oh no haha!

[@AJG2508]

[@katiecaldwell9834]

I just found out recently that I'll be able to have kids in the future (I'm 17) and that makes me so happy! I was born with a heart defect vut since it was repaired I'm able to have children safely for me and the future baby! Really exciting news even though it won't happen for a few more years

[@AshJackson]

Thats fabulous news! A huge congratulations beauty I could not be happier for you!

[@edenkcooper1114]

Your pregnancy stories are my favourite! I'm 19 and have just found out that I'm pregnant (with my boyfriend that I've been with for 4+ years) and your videos really helped me with telling my parents! Xx

[@Robertasblogxo]

congratss

[@edenkcooper1114]

Thank you :)

[@ashamae7663]

Congrats x

[@AshJackson]

Congratulations beauty! Wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy with all the love and support you need

[@selinafraser2052]

Congrats! I got pregnant at 20 and am now 21 and have a 6 month old and it was hard telling my parents as well but it always works out in the end. Best of luck with everything

[@AdventuringWebers]

A girl I know, the minute she is pregnant she goes completely off coffee. She is a massive coffee drinker, and within days of conception that is it she can't stomach the smell, can't walk past a coffee shop - nothing. She jokes now about not even needing a pregnancy test because she just knows. 3 kids in, it has been the same every single time.

[@alisonryley3207]

Mr&Mrs - Our Adventures lol....I had the same with tea and crisps!

[@AshJackson]

Thats amazing! I feel like after having Heidi, I knew pretty much straight away with the boys and got quite early results with my pregnancy tests. Sometimes you can just tell!

[@rhy_tay_andy]

So the reason why you have shortness of breath is the increase of fluids in your body. A woman's weight gain is about 40% fluids increase (blood volume, water, and fluid in the amniotic sac). During the early part of your pregnancy the blood composition changes. More plasma is found in the blood which is the cause for women being of short breath during pregnancy. Also, craving non food items is a condition labeled PICA and affects around 8-65% of women. There are some theories that PICA is caused by a lack of nutrients like iron and zinc, but these theories haven't been proven in studies.

[@mzstephie]

Once I cried my eyes out because we were eating KFC nuggets and my husband thought I'd finished and threw away the sauce. I cried for about an hour lol. What is it with KFC lol

[@AshJackson]

Hahaha why oh why would he do that!! Don't worry I totally would have cried along with you girl!

[@julia.carr1129]

im actually 39 weeks pregnant. when i was about 5 months pregnant, our car broke down and we got a new one couple weeks later. my husband and i were sitting in the car one night talking and i burst into tears because we would never have to memories we made in our first car back. he sat there staring at me like i was dumb. i started sobbing and saying stupid stuff like "humans only ever use cars and throw them away. cars work so hard for us and now we sent our little car off to get crushed and melted down just because it got sick!!"my husband started laughing so hard and then realized i was serious. later that night i realized how stupid it was and started crying again because i turned into a frumpy emotional pregnant woman when i told myself in the begging in i would be a cute pregnant woman. (lets just say my poor husband has had to deal with a lot) :)

[@ClarissaXplainsItAll]

😩😂😭 this is hilarious

[@SwahiliSpicE]

Julia Pack this made me laugh so much, thanks for brightening up my day 😀 hopefully ur back to normal now

[@jaynewarren1427]

I stepped on a snail and cried, I felt so bad, It was ridiculous :)

[@AshJackson]

Oh my gosh haha I don't know whether to laugh or be sad for you!

[@divinelov3777]

Gheeze that's me even when I'm not pregnant

[@mochitwa]

the shortness of breath is def my main issue at the beginning of pregnancy, so weird

[@AshJackson]

SO weird hey!

[@valentinastrom]

is that a tiny cabinet, or a giant candle? O.o it's messing with my brain

[@user-zw6qb5pn8i]

Val Maple it's a tiny cabinet!

[@abbeyrose5631]

Cariana Spivey giant candle

[@izexo1132]

Val Maple Both!

[@allisonbrowning4945]

I can’t stop looking either way

[@emc5807]

It’s a candle

[@CharCo]

Omgg sleeping was the worst during pregnancy! I would wake up in the middle of the night on my back and freak out haha. I also found that as soon as I got comfortable I needed to pee again 😂

[@AshJackson]

Haha sleeping can be a nightmare can't it!

[@ciaobella9310]

Yess girl yesss!! Im goin thru this right now

[@kadripress1]

I find I am so much healthier when I am pregnant (I am at my last trimester of my third pregnancy) . I don't get sick when everyone else does, also I am not lactose intolerant during pregnancy, which I am when I am not pregnant. I have also heard of eyesight improvements etc during pregnancy etc... Sad to hear you had the opposite effect.

[@AshJackson]

Wow thats awesome girl! Sounds like your pregnancies have been a dream! I'm so jealous haha!

[@theonewhoones5356]

I'm too young to have children, single af, and a virgin yet here I am

[@karlamarcial8202]

I started crying when my boyfriend brought me a chicken sandwich from jack in the box, lol i was so happy.

[@AshJackson]

Hahaha that must have been some chicken sandwich ahha!

[@sarafouts1531]

One thing I wish someone told me about was when the baby starts kicking, it feels so freaky and weird! I felt really queasy because it felt like I had a live octopus inside me. Also the AVERSIONS! I couldn't even keep down water. I survived a few weeks on red Gatorade which luckily my midwife said was totally fine, as long as I get something in me to keep my energy up.

[@MagenWolmart]

love how your so honest and straight up with everyone! you're an amazing role model!

[@AshJackson]

Thanks so much girl! xo

[@MagenWolmart]

Ash Jackson you're welcome!! :)

[@mimiicaakes9993]

i'm not anywhere near to getting pregnant anytime soon but i am sooo addicting to watching your baby/pregnancy related videos 😂😍

[@megandart6461]

Also the getting emotional over nothing thing is the worst! I remember one morning we got maccas pancakes and found out once we got home that they didn't put my syrup in! I got so angry and had to walk away from my partner so he wouldn't see me ball my eyes out over it 😂😂 Another time was when I was double checking my hospital bag before I went to be induced and my puppy came inside and I sat on my bed with him for a good half hour crying because I had to leave him, I ended up taking a FRAMED PHOTO of him with me and put in on the hospital night stand... 😂 but even now 4 years later I'm still emotional for no damn reason!

[@AshJackson]

Hahaha oh my gosh you made me remember once when I was pregnant with Archie James wen't to maccas to get ice cream and bought me back the wrong thing! I was mortified and cried for an hour over it!

[@jadebateman5089]

the faint and breathlessness is low blood pressure and low iron. i had it in both my pregnancies, to the point i had to have a blood transfusion.

[@AshJackson]

Oh my goodness that's awful! Pregnancy is hard enough without having to have blood transfusions! The things we do for our little ones!

[@karajayde23]

I'm a couple of months late but the shortness of breath from the beginning of pregnancy thing is caused by the increased blood volume you get right from the beginning. More blood means you need more oxygen which means you produce more carbon dioxide as waste. Carbon dioxide levels control our breathing cycle so we feel the need to breathe faster in order to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide - the same way you do after exercising :)

[@karajayde23]

Oh and the increased urination from the start is also due to the increased blood volume. The more blood you have, the more blood your kidneys filter, the more urine they produce, the more your bladder becomes full. Plus your uterus starts to grow right from implantation and its not long before your bladder gets a little squished!

[@shaereid3598]

Omg crying over KFC 😂 I feel you girl

[@AshJackson]

Haha I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

[@heatherpatterson9564]

One pregnancy side-effect i get is a swollen nose.. yup thats it. Totally glamorous. My nose spreads!!!

[@kayhill3073]

Heather Patterson mine did as well lol

[@heatherpatterson9564]

Haha weren't we lucky!!! :) Thank goodness mine went down afterwards.

[@AshJackson]

Oh wow! I've never heard of that symptom before! I wonder why that is!

[@heatherpatterson9564]

I did a little research during my second pregnancy and came across 'Rhinitis' which is a technical term for widening of nose and is caused by high estrogen levels. Which brings on the fluid retention.

[@aimeewhitling6577]

Right about now adoption is looking really good

[@AshJackson]

Haha adoption is a wonderful thing to do! But there are also a lot of lovely things about pregnancy which I didn't mention in the video (just wanting to focus on the weird/ gross parts)

[@arose92795]

Some weird symptoms I have had: Massive pelvic pain. Through out the whole pregnancy. Lately it has spread to my back, often sending a huge surge of pain from my hips all the way up my spine to the base of my skull. This often causes me to just want to sleep or lay in the bath for hours. Worsening allergies. Particularly to nuts. Immediately after becoming pregnant, walnuts started making me have huge lumps in my mouth instead of just making my throat a bit scratchy. Peanut butter started giving me absolutely masive headaches and some stomach pains. Being super hungry for one item only, and not able to eat much of anything else until that craving was satisfied. I often don't even have a clue what that one item is until I see it or taste it. Most recently this has happened with Immitation crab meat. Anxiety and depression being worsened. Now, I don't mean to get all mellow dramatic on you all, but I have had strong thoughts of suicide ever since I became pregnant. The only thing keeping me from doing so was the baby inside me. Suddenly, every mistake made me feel like a complete falure of a woman, every item that i could not find made me feel worthless, and any time my husband got a tad bit upset I felt like he was furious and absolutely hated my existence. All extremes of my normal fears. Oh, and when I'm super anxious, I clean to calm down. My husband still probably doesnt fully understand why sometimes I would just start crying and cleaning the house at 2 o'clock in the morning. For some reason, the trash bin smells amazing to me. No idea why. Headaches. Now, I was having headaches before, but nothing like these. Usually my headaches are obvious, feeling like I was hit in the head with a rock... Or a train. But these are super dull, kinda like someone has a grip on my hair and is just slowly slowly pulling it harder and harder. These are more draining than my typical headaches, and also last until I nap even if I took meds. All in all, I'm far more tired than i used to be. Fatigue. Now, this isn't really weird, but i feel the need to address the extent of the fatigue. Simply going outside to check the mail or doing laudry feels like I just ran a marathon. Doing the dishes feels like I just spent the last 3 hours weight lifting. And I'm a pretty strong woman, not in the best of shape, but not completely out of shape either.

[@samanthawittenberg1446]

Speaking of being emotional.. this video gave me the urge to cry & I have no idea why lol.. I'm only 2 months pregnant, but all of your symptoms are so on point to me!

[@teganstephens1]

I live for your videos Ash. Im 19 and not pregnant, but i find these videos so interesting, and informative for the future :)

[@AshJackson]

Thanks beauty! I'm glad you could still enjoy my videos even without being pregnant or having a bubba. Be sure to let me know if there are any other kinds of videos you would like to see as well! xo

[@lilamilkamaus]

Don't forget the heartburn during the pregnancy, because the baby's also pushing the stomach together, so that when at night you finally found your right sleeping position, the baby's asleep and you don't need to pee, the heartburn is starting at the right moment. So I endet every night sleeping almost sitting in my bed because nothing did help :/

[@jadebethj4807]

My issue is the crying! I cried because I was in the bakery section of the grocery store and I couldn't figure out which cake to buy. BTW, I couldn't decide and ended up getting cookies and cream brownies instead. :)

[@CheekehCherreh]

It's not really the fact you get shortness of breath, it's actually the fact you need to take in more oxygen for your baby, so with that said, you take more breaths, which leads to feeling like you have shortness of breath :)

[@DoingNadii]

Am I the only pregnant women that can pee like a Normal non pregnant women? I pee only 3-4 times throughout the day that was normal for me when I wasn't pregnant

[@sarafouts1531]

Nadii Lyfe same. The constant peeing didn't start until the end of 25 weeks for me.

[@julia.carr1129]

you are the luckiest woman alive. i pee like 10000000X a night. its horrable

[@unapologeticallynique2928]

Nadii Lyfe same lol i only have to pee when I first wake up and then a couple more times that sit I don't wake up in the middle of the night

[@vgang9857]

Julia Pack me too i pee every 20minutes i don't even want to leave my house anymore haha

[@arose92795]

I can easily hold my pee for a normal amount of time, however I get the urge to pee at least 20 times a day.

[@chanellehudson2681]

love ur videos! round ligament pain is the worst thing for me at the moment im 18 weeks pregnant and its the worst thing ever!

[@AshJackson]

Oh yes! The round ligament pain is awful isn't it! I hope it eases off for you a little bit! xo

[@marvo0]

I have no idea what's on your lips here, but you look AH-MA-ZING! I'm not even close to be pregnant or sth, but I'm totally obsessed with your videos! Great job :)

[@AshJackson]

Oh thanks girl! Its called Trap by Colourpop!

[@bigjayprnstr]

I Have heard of women wanting to eat cigaretts, the theory that was suggesyed to me is your body was actually craving a nutrient? Ash carries it, something to do with potassium?

[@barbaracaron900]

Once again, such a good video!!

[@AshJackson]

Thanks so much beauty! xo

[@hr-ana]

+1 thing= smelly gases, lots lots of farting 😭😩

[@AshJackson]

Hahaha yes I have heard of people getting that one!

[@laineygrace9018]

Im 26 weeks and have hardly cried at all, only about three times, 2 of those were for pretty normal reasons 🤣 also haven't had any kind of strong or weird cravings, just things i craved before pregnancy, and i normally get hit hard with things like bugs and colds but my bf is so jealous i haven't been sick at all apart from morning sickness and acid reflux

[@radiantgrxnger]

My Aunty craved chalk like crazy!! Would literally beg her husband to let her eat it haha

[@AshJackson]

I actually read just recently that cigarettes, dirt and chalk are sometimes craved by pregnant women! Its like a thing!!

[@gracytoyschultz4416]

I craved ice so much that when I had a bag of ice in the freezer and mostly ate it all my husband called me the ice monster. 😂

[@adb8003]

Just give her cornstarch lol

[@danipietro4762]

Hey Ash!! Love your videos 😍 Please can you link the top you're wearing in this video?? 👚 x

[@AshJackson]

Hey beauty its actually a dress from supre! SO comfortable!

[@danipietro4762]

Thanks so much!! Looks fab on you :)

[@gabrielad7753]

I'm 7 weeks and a couple days pregnant and since I found out at around 4 weeks I was already short of breath! I read it's because of the hormone surges. I've cried a couple times for no reason, and feel anxious. Lately I'm more moody since entering week 7.

[@savvielovesyou]

Weird hair growth. Like my belly now has crazy peach fuzz (luckily i'm blonde) my arm hair is so much longer than usual

[@AshJackson]

Haha definitely lucky that you're a blonde! I also found that my hair grew HEAPS when I was pregnant with Heidi but not so much with the boys interestingly enough!

[@alisonryley3207]

You've certainly blossomed as you've got older! I enjoyed all 3 of my pregnancies. I had a craving for cold cabbage sandwiches, must be for the Iron lol. I would sit with my top up and watch the baby move, you could see a knee or an elbow go right across your stomach. Fascinating! ☺

[@AshJackson]

Awww thanks lovely! Wowee I've never heard of cold cabbage sandwiches before haha! Amazing!

[@victoriamather2267]

Lol, I loved this! Thanks for making this video!

[@AshJackson]

Anytime :)

[@karinarosas17]

I absolutely love my pregnancy ! ❤️ My daughter was so nice to me I slept like a baby through all my pregnancy !The only time i crave something was a corn 🌽 after work made me so impatient and mad that it was not at my mouth 😣, other than that I love the smell of the nature in the mornings and wet ground 🌳🍃🌻❤️

[@AshJackson]

Awww thats lovely to hear! It must be nice to be able to sit back and relax while enjoying the whole experience! Well done mama!

[@alexandriawilliams6237]

I found out I was pregnant when I got super sick for no reason when I'm not used to ever getting sick. It has to do with a low immune system.

[@callietaylorr5697]

The craving thing is so true! My friend would dip her hot cheetos in pickle juice and she was so clueless why cause she thought it was disgusting but craved it through out her pregnancy! Lol

[@AshJackson]

Ewwwww thats crazy!

[@jillianlemay3297]

My younger sister (17) would come over while she was pregnant, open my fiance's cigarette packs, and smell them. You're not the only one!! I thought it was so weird but she couldn't help it. She would smell fig newtons as well..

[@silvia6319]

My first pregnancy I craved bar soap and my second pregnancy it was wet dirt.. no any wet dirt but the one after rain!

[@KionnaLCollier]

I think the worst parts of pregnancy is the smell sensitivity, I can smell one thing and be sick for the rest of the day, & the vivid crazy dreams. Like where do these come from?

[@AshJackson]

Amen girl! I was SO sensitive to smell with my first! I wouldn't be able to eat all day and then when I went to make dinner the smell would put me off again!

[@KionnaLCollier]

Ash Jackson I'm literally the same way. 😭 I'll think about what I want to eat for hours & as soon as I'm done making it the baby is like nope I don't want that! I try to eat mostly fruit when that happens, cause it's sweet and appetizing.

[@lorrainemorris5601]

I had placenta privia(spelling) with my 3rd pregnancy and had that horid pelvic pressure from week 16 to 38 when he was born and weighed 4.79kg. I was also told I am was allowed to have anymore.

[@AshJackson]

Oh my that would have been awful girl! Snaps to you for getting through it all! xo

[@chaniyaharris5089]

Lorraine Morris I'm so sorry to hear that

[@sharon6981]

the fainting comes from low blood pressure, i passed out twice during my pregnancy.

[@AshJackson]

Oh that must have been awful!

[@b_porcelain]

I've just hit 32 weeks today.. and by god the rib kicks.. Baby has been in perfect position for the last few months so I've been kicked in the ribs for so long now, but even then they're just getting stronger and more painful... he's also took a liking to kicking my sides when I start eating.. that being said.. I haven't really experienced any "typical" pregnancy things.. I'm not really emotional.. my bump is still surprisingly very very small considering I'm due in just 8 weeks! I do feel really heavy though and out of breath especially going up stairs or a hill! And the lower back pain!!!

[@xEloodii2e]

Beautiful as always :)

[@AshJackson]

Aww thank you :)

[@soaperadorable]

My friend absolutely hates peanut butter like when she wasn't pregnant she even hated the smell but when she was pregnant she ate a whole jar with a spoon

[@AshJackson]

Ewwwww haha! Its crazy how pregnancy can completely change our taste hey!

[@luciatat4084]

Her baby was the one liking it! :)

[@katelynskool1]

that candle is huge ❤

[@AshJackson]

Its a glasshouse candle! I love them so much!

[@katelynskool1]

Yeah I have the regular size ones

[@ashelydiaz2083]

I get the part about balling your eyes out for no reason. I was watching an informative video about baby poop and I started crying

[@bernadellecesarz9202]

Who else here experience nose bleeding when they were pregnant?

[@AshJackson]

I was lucky enough to avoid that one! Nose bleeds freak me right out!

[@sublimekams4276]

Me too

[@lext1313]

still watching the video so idk if mentioned this...but SPITTING. omg spitting. the increase in saliva is one of my most annoying symptoms 😭

[@AClutterFreeLife]

The cigarettes craving is probably cause ure not allowed to.. So even if u are not normally into it if crave what's not allowed.. Awesome video!

[@AshJackson]

I've actually heard there's something in the cigarettes which pregnant women are sometimes lacking in their systems. I'm not entirely sure what it is but its interesting to know!

[@AClutterFreeLife]

Ash Jackson we all have nicotine in our systems already maybe pregnant bodies act as if they need more? I will do my research hehe

[@evelinacartasova5593]

Love your channel! Keep up the good work:)

[@AshJackson]

Thanks so much beauty! xo

[@danicatherine2303]

Im 19 and just found out Im pregnant.....can you please make a video on being pregnant at 19, i.e. advice, your experience, the works please and thank you!!

[@aleksandraisaeva1122]

Dani Califorina she has already made one😀

[@danicatherine2303]

Alex 4eva oh yea I forgot thanks for the reminding me

[@kaylagrosso2025]

Ash to answer the short of breath question (I took a biology of reproduction class last year at college) - you're heart is preparing itself to pump blood to both you and the baby, therefore it is really doing much more work than it normally does. That's the scientific answer anyways, I've never been pregnant so I'm not sure if there are other factors that can cause it!

[@AshJackson]

Oh wow thanks so much for the reply girl! You learn something new every day :)

[@kaylagrosso2025]

Ash Jackson you're welcome! And I learned so much from this video alone!! I don't know how you manage to post everyday on your other channel and make such awesome videos once a week on this one!💕

[@Sabrinasee02]

I didn't have any craving with my son. Now waiting to take the test. I'm so out of breath right now, upper back feeling sore, have CM, feeling bloated. Can I be pregnant?

[@AshJackson]

Maybe! Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you! xo

[@jessicacastle9233]

I cried because my son didn't want to come to the shops with me he wanted to stay home with dad

[@AshJackson]

Awwww girl I feel your pain! That makes me want to cry even when I'm not pregnant haha!

[@greenlaceblue]

that candle with plants on the back is a fire hazard

[@aalbor1]

I'm at my third trimester and I'm so ready to meet this baby girl! What about doing a 10 things they don't tell you about your postpartum body after baby?!

[@AshJackson]

I have that video planned haha I'll get to is asap ;) Best of luck with the rest of your pregnancy wishing you a safe and comfortable delivery! xo

[@aliciasmith599]

New sub✨ I'm really interested as my step mum is 19 weeks pregnant tomorrow☺️ and I instantly love your videos X

[@cyazzie3]

The lower back pain sucks and my tailbone hurts or aches. Indigestion sucks to!

[@gracytoyschultz4416]

34 weeks and craved spicy chips and sweet iced tea even though spicy chips would give me bad acid reflux. 😐

[@HannahN]

That cigarett thing you were talking about, about cravings, its totally true. My friend had like this weird craving thing that she wanted to smell gasoline... i was freaked out but she was like this is the best thing ever, when we were like filling the car, she would go crazy haha...

[@calebberkheimer9654]

thanks for sharing my girlfriend is recovering from a c section she's having some trouble emptying her bladder any suggestion's

[@sez_step4925]

Vulvar varicosities! Had no idea they existed in my first pregnancy, and I'm 'lucky' enough to get them this time around with my second! Ouch

[@jessicawarton5022]

I was 19 when I fell pregnant with my daughter. I also had a weird craving that lasted months where I really wanted to eat my dogs dog biscuits. My daughter is 3 and a half now and I can still remember how good they smelt and how badly I wanted to eat them.

[@AshJackson]

Haha oh my I hope you didn't give in and eat some haha! SO weird the kinds of things our bodies crave when we're pregnant!

[@lilyblagonya2730]

with my second pregnancy I craved chemical smells like nail polish remover, comet (toilet cleaner), rubbing alcohol, and cigarettes. . I didn't have any food cravings really, my husband had most of the food cravings.

[@Ariannauk1]

Lily Blagonya me too windolene cleaner I took it to the extreme and soaked kitchen paper folded it and put it behind all my heaters, ppl would visit and ask "have you been cleaning your windows? "😂😂😂

[@AshJackson]

Wow thats crazy! Its amazing how much our bodies change isn't it! xo

[@arelygalarza3126]

Is it normal to have headaches during first trimester ? And lower back pain ?

[@stacey-leejade1529]

my biggest thing is the itchy skin!! its like constant snake skin

[@stacey-leejade1529]

but my golly youre spot on with this list. just today i just started crying at work because i couldn't remember the name of something. my coworker had no idea what was happening as she didnt know i am expecting

[@AshJackson]

Oh my gosh I totally forgot to mention my underarm skin was SO itchy! I felt like an orangutan scratching under my arms all day ahha!

[@julia.carr1129]

omg yass. my tummy itches all the dang time...

[@star-ko6eg]

The crying part had me weak 😂😂😂

[@insertlamenamehere3522]

I think you have this cool genetic mutation like I do. It's called "Amber Eyes" where the light refracts in your eyes differently than most people, but I am unsure, it could be the lighting

[@emmawhite4763]

Can I ask what treatment you have had to your teeth? They look amazing now compared to 5 yrs ago - is it caps or bonding? sorry if you have already addressed this, but I would love to investigate this for myself - they look great!! Obviously they are whitened, but (apart from your 2 front teeth) they look bigger and more even.

[@AshJackson]

Hey pretty! Of course! I had four of my teeth 'built-up' and then some teeth whitening treatments :)

[@CLB0503]

haha love this video! mum craved ice cubes when she was pregnant with me and would have a cup full next to her bed every night haha my friend who is also pregnant at the moment has only wanted to coke but only mcdonalds coke and cried when her partner wouldnt go get her one at 4am haha bless her cotton socks.

[@megandart6461]

claireabelle I had the ice cube craving as well! That was the only craving I had and was, thankfully for my teeth, only in the last month or so.

[@CLB0503]

Megan Dart haha yes i can see why, it must have passed on to me because i lovvvvvve eating ice cubes and im not even pregnant haha

[@AshJackson]

I LOVED eating Ice Cubes especially when I was pregnant with Heidi and Louis seeing they were summer babies! I don't know what it is about it but I'd constantly be crunching on ice!

[@veneyebony]

The shortness of breath in the beginning is due to a sharp increase of progesterone. I didn’t get it either so I asked. It also caused the loosening of ligaments

[@PrettyBalanced]

You are so so cute! Im so glad I found this video!!

[@IndieTheHorse]

the reason you're short of breath is that fetal haemoglobin (the molecule which binds with oygen to take it to cells) has a higher affinity for oxygen than maternal haemoglobin. This is because the foetus gets its oxygen from the mothers blood which passes through the placenta, so as soon as pregnancy starts, the placenta needs oxygen rich blood! therefore youre short of breath when you become pregnant! xx

[@AshJackson]

Thats amazing! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it love!

[@krissyk724]

I had to pee lots when I fell pregnant (unknown to me at the time), I had been camping and thought it was due to the cold nights shrinking my bladder. My mother in law goes 'or it could be your pregnant?' Which I laughed off... Well turns out she was right lol The breathless-ness and faint feeling would be due to the blood, you have so much more when pregnant. One thing you didn't mention was swelling! Swollen feet, I didn't recognise mine when they went back to normal cos I was so used to them being so puffy! I lived in thongs.

[@AshJackson]

Sometimes mother's just have that instinct I think! Just like my Grandmother knowing I was pregnant too!

[@niovistamatiou9726]

you are so good ...big bravo

[@AshJackson]

Aww thanks beauty! xo

[@niovistamatiou9726]

[@LiciaaBett]

I've never been pregnant but work in pharmacy. Lots of woman come in and didn't know that you can be more prone to hemorrhoids during pregnancy.

[@AshJackson]

I've heard that! I've been lucky enough to avoid them in my pregnancies but know a few women who have gotten them and it sounds awful!

[@LiciaaBett]

I totally agree! I have my fingers crossed that when I have kid I don't get them.

[@tatiannatyb9655]

i have that line and ive never had kids before.. why is that? lol

[@AshJackson]

I think its just hyper pigmentation so you might just have it in your genes

When my mom was pregnant for the first time since she was 4 babies in her belly she didn’t go into labor and I was one of them with 3 boys and I was second but not I’m a twin with my older twin brother who can’t talk and has austum and the 2 younger boys passed at 6 months old when I had my surgery and I have 2 little sisters 12 and 4 and we’re almost 14 and still can’t talk and it’s weird because he was first

Nobody told me about horrible gag reflex. I have never thrown up from morning sickness but I have puked many times from brushing my teeth. It's become a (twice) daily hell!

[@gryph3714]

pantstheterrible YES! I'm currently pregnant and Everything makes me gag. I saw a picture of a woman sipping ketchup from a spoon and I gagged so hard... (I love ketchup an normally don't react to things like that.) everything from cake fails, to medical stories, to just holding something in my mouth sends me into a gagging fit.

[@lizmccloud8450]

Oh wow that's amazing your also rlly pretty

[@xxmidnightxxshadowxx]

when my sister was pregnant with her first kid, she massively smelled like body odor. it didnt matter if she had just showered, or how much deodorant she used, the smell was always there. oddly enough, it didnt happen with her second kid.

[@Meelany261095]

I got the pregnancy line and it became hairy after the fourth month! :( and after the 6 month my bottom belly became black :s also around it. also I've been a person with acne problems because of POS and that's hard to control but I'm now totally clear of acne. I just wash my skin with water and sometimes soap (normal one) and that's it, I haven't got any single pimple since then Hahaha

[@AshJackson]

Its crazy what the increased hormone levels can do isn't it! I never had pimples all throughout highschool until I got pregnant (where I was lucky enough to only get a couple but for me that was weird)!

[@AutumnLeesLife]
