The first is: when I'm pregnant I develop a mild allergy to onion. Yep, when I'm pregnant (and only when I'm pregnant) eating raw onions causes my lips and tongue to get all tingly and a little numb. It's nothing that keeps me from eating onion, but it is a little strange.
The second is: my hands fall asleep ALL THE TIME. This one at least makes sense; I'm sure it's related to increased blood volume during pregnancy, but still, it's a little much. For instance, working on a stitchery causes one and sometimes BOTH my hands to fall asleep. Even though one of them is moving! Spending more than 10 minutes or so online (if I'm scrolling a lot) makes my scrolling fingers fall asleep. If I sleep with one hand under my pillow it will be SO asleep when I wake up that I can't even move my fingers.
I wonder if I'll have these with every pregnancy. Anybody else have any crazy pregnancy things?
crazy about the onion. every time i ate fresh peas or carrots, i got that same tingle on my tongue, only my throat hurt too. weird stuff pregnancy does to us, eh?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure there are things but I can't rememeber. Afterwards there are all sorts of changes. Like bigger feet and thinner hair.
ReplyDeleteOh and my teeth hurt.
ReplyDeleteI was VERY allergic to bananas pre-pregnancy. I would get hives and have problems breathing by even being close to bananas (kind of like severe peanut allergies you hear about).
ReplyDeleteDuring pregnancy and post pregnancy I am no longer allergic to bananas. I eat bananas like they are going out of style!!
Crazy pregnancy things? Yea, I wanted to eat every second of every day! Maybe not so much crazy as ANNOYING :)
ReplyDeleteI just got crazy kids out of the deal...those never go away either.
