Were there some things that worried you but then you discovered you weren't alone? Or were they things you had to get help for? Please email and tell me.

During my first pregnancy I had a weird craving which I don't know if anyone else had.I'm ashamed to say I
liked sniffing ashtrays,yes full ones.The really shameful part and I promise I never did it was I fancied a taste and I mean actually eating a cigarette.I thought cravings mean you need something in the food you're craving,but there nothing good in cigarettes surely.
With my last pregnancy and now this one I couldn't stop brushing my teeth.It wasn't just the minty taste but the whole brushing thing every time I went to the loo,bathed the kids,any excuse.
This pregnancy I'm cold all the time.I usually find I get hot when I'm pregnant.This time I'm cold all the time'Just can't get warm.

oh Jo there was a lady I was in Hospital with who craved Cigarette ash aswell.

My weird one is my legs. I find that they ache beyong belief and I just cant get comfortable, its weird coz I do alot of running and dancing when not pregnant so my legs are usally quite strong but when pregnant they loose all strenght and are wobbly and weak all the time no matter what I do. I just call it achy leg

Thank goodness for that.I kept the cigarette one secret for years I was so ashamed.Even Darren doesn't know.I get achy legs.I have support tights.Don't wear them often cos they're hideous but they help a bit.
