Weird Body Changes You Might Get During Pregnancy

Weird Body Changes You Might Get During Pregnancy

When you’re pregnant you may notice some weird body changes that are actually perfectly normal.

Here are a few weird things that affect some moms to be.

Growing hair on weird places 

You could grow hair on your face or neck. The extra hair should go away about six months after you have your baby but this is definitely not a welcomed surprise.

Dark patches on your skin

If you’ve noticed dark patches on your cheeks, forehead or nose, you’re not turning into a monster, don’t worry. It’s totally common to get dark patches on your skin during pregnancy. It

usually fades after you deliver. 

Nosebleeds

A nosebleed may seem scary but most of the time you do not need to worry. Gently squeeze your nose for a few minutes to help it stop. Give your doctor a call if that doesn’t work or if you get nosebleeds often.

Darker nipples

The skin on and around your nipples may get darker or browner. You might also see small bumps on them. You do not need to worry because these just keep your nipples from getting too dry.

Sensitive or loose teeth

If your teeth loosen up, blame your pregnancy hormones. It may affect the bones in your mouth. This weird side effect goes away after your baby forms.

Dark navel line

Notice the dark line that goes from your navel to your pubic hair. Good news it tends to fade with time. 

Skin tags/growths

Finally, you could get small loose flesh-colored growths on your arms or breasts. They’re called skin tags and they’re not cancer. If you don’t like the way they look a doctor can remove them for you.

Remember lots of these weird symptoms and body changes may go away or look better after a while and think of the reward for putting up with them – a happy adorable bundle of joy.
