    I've a list...most of these are uncommon (as you can tell by most of the questions on here:

    Incredibly vivid nightmares - usually I can't wake up or even control these dreams

    Insomnia - With my latest pregnancy I wake up at about 6am and go to bed at about 4am. I'm getting on average 3 hours of sleep a night. This started just recently, however I've always had sleeping problems.

    Braxton Hicks ALL pregnancy long - started within the first two weeks

    Car sickness - everytime I am pregnant and even immediately after pregnancy, I get really carsick/motionsick

    Constantly hard belly - my belly gets really hard around the 6 month mark and STAYS hard until I give birth. Most people will tell you this is cause of contractions, however mine is hard all day and all night

    Foot cramping - I can actually see the muscle in my foot cramping up, usually starts for me around 4 months

    Itchy eyes - I can't wear my contacts because my eyes itch, also my prescription for my contacts/glasses changes during pregnancy. After pregnancy it goes back to what it was.

    PMSing - This has only happened to me once, during my 2nd pregnancy. I pmsed started from 3 months in to about 6 months in. Then it suddenly stopped again. So 3 periods total.

    Peeka (spelling?) - I crave ice immediately, all day long during all of my pregnancies. I'm anemic with very low iron. My personal fave is the ice from 7-11, I use this to shave it down into little ice chippies.

    Restless Leg Syndrome - Muscle TWITCHES in my legs when I'm laying down, only this pregnancy though.

    Adema - Only this pregnancy again...my feet, hands and tongue swell up incredibly and feel hot to the touch. This isn't the normal swollen from too much salt, this is almost like an allergic reaction to something.

    That's just a few, I'm sure I've had more...but I can't really remember anymore off the top of my head.

    Wow there are so many! im a mother of 3 with my fourth on the way. There are loads of symptoms but here a few that are most common ; From around the week of a missed period i get cramps in my lower abdomen and sharp pains down the left and or right side of my lower abdomen (these are due to womb stretching and functional cysts that occur in early pregnancy) needing a wee more often and also you may feel more tierd and irritated and also tearful to boot! woohoo! By about your 6-7week you may be in full swing of nausea and or sickness this is usually accompanied by dizzy spells going off certain foods/drinks or even smells that you usually enjoy. Unfortunately the mood swings are still in full force! and now you may have breast growth and discomfort and heartburn. Some women go off food altogether and some find they HAVE to eat every 2 hours or they feel faint and just awful. The first trimester is most commonly were you will experience the worst of these symptoms. This is not to say that some poor ladies have these and more up until they give birth and some lucky devils don't get any! hope this has helped you? Taryn x

    Who knows what is common? I hear all kinds of things from pregnant women that never happened to me. But if I had to choose a symptom that I haven't heard a lot of women complain about it would have to be nightmares that were so horrible it led to insomnia and I had to be medicated for it.
