I have begun to notice several side effects of pregnancy. Most of them I could do without.
First is mood changes and extreme irritability. (Eric can amen this one.) The slightest little thing can send me off the deep end and at work I can get very agitated.
Second is leg cramps. I remembered what charlie horses felt like from all those years of basketball, but man, constant all day long cramps really hurt. I've only had one maybe two really bad charlie horse cramps in the past couple of weeks.
Third is the memory thing. I can be in the middle of a sentence and then realize I have no clue where I am going or sometimes what I was even talking about. It is really annoying when you are leading a meeting.
The last thing I'm not sure how pregnancy related it is, but my dreams are getting weird. I won't go into details, but things I have no clue about or what rabbit I chased down the hole. They seem to be getting more detailed also. But they are very strange.

#1 - Aren't hormones fun!
#2 - Did you know that you're not supposed to massage your legs when you're pregnant?
#3 - It only gets worse! I never believed the "your mind goes with children" thing until I had them.
#4 - I definitely think that it's pregnancy related! I want to hear the details. :)
Jen,
I had charlie horses too with J (only 2 times, then I talked to the dr about a cure). You need potassium...found in bananas, raw spinach and cantaloupe (those are what I forced myself to eat from the list, there is more if you google them). It really will help, honest!
Dreams are more vivid while preggo and usually in color too, so enjoy while they last! HAHA
what?? No leg massages and I have to eat healthy!?!?! you guys are killing me! Okay I can do the bananas and cataloupe... but not the green stuff. I have noticed that lately the cramps are more in my feet and especially bad if I try to stretch them out. Seems that just makes them worse.
