1st Trimester Pregnancy Symptoms I Didn’t Expect

When I first found out I was pregnant, I thought all my symptoms would be the typical ones you hear about... Nausea, tiredness, and sore breasts. Though I did experience all of those, there were a few symptoms that I didn’t expect.

01. Increased urination - this is one that I didn’t expect and thought would be more common in the third trimester. I had to go to the bathroom a lot more than I usually did even though my water intake was pretty much the same.

02. Food aversions - I know this can be a more common symptom but I thought I would have cravings as opposed to aversions. I had 0 cravings at this point but was turned off by foods I typically eat, such as vegetables, salads, chicken, and fish.

03. Strong sense of smell - this symptom certainly did not help my nausea! My sense of smell was insanely strong, I could smell food in the refrigerator that I absolutely did not want! I would tell my husband to throw it out and he was shocked I could even smell it!

04. Random nipple pain - I would get random sharp pains in my nipples, especially when I was cold! It felt like knives were stabbing me, it was so uncomfortable!
