So what types of things changed while you were pregnant that have not gone back?

Other than the obvious ... my girlish figure

I gained 1/2 shoe size with each pregnancy. Figured I'd better stop having kids before I had to start wearing skis! Many years later and my feet are still 1 1/2 sizes bigger than when I started having kids!

Also, my allergies got ten times worse. At least this last pregnancy. It was really odd. After Jessi, my allergies were terrible. Then came Cody and my allergies cleared up. Then TJ ... and I'm really bad off now! Sigh ...

I developed Asthma.

My girlish figure!

I like ranch dressing now.

I liked beer for a while.

You mean other than the fact that my skin stretched out and never went back?

I don't really know?

I developed allergies too Dawn. I think that's pretty much it though.

It was pretty strange ... after Jessi, I had allergy testing done and I was very allergic to dust mites and moderately to mold. That's it.

After TJ, they retested me and I'm highly allergic to dust mites, mold, and about 10 trees and grass! BIG difference!

Dawn maybe you need one more baby so your allergies will clear up again.

I haven't noticed anything besides my booty

Pg induced changes: Girlish figure is now matronly
I used to go on rides at amusement parks etc, now I get nauseus watching the kids on a merry go round and even after 20+ years it's just as bad.

Doctor screw ups while pg leaving me with innumerable scars and chronic health problems: To many to count.

Maree,
I'm the same way. I can't look at rides especially rides that go in circles. If you put me on one, I'm sure I'd puke.
Umm...my boobs got bigger and haven't went back to their normal D's
My size 6/8 body left and has yet to make its reappearance.
My foot went from a size 7 to an 8 and got wider

Oh yeah I forgot to put down that my feet and boobs grew as well the boobs I can understand but the feet??

I guess nature figures we will be run off our feet from now on so they had better be bigger than before

I gained 1/2 shoe size with Darien's pregnancy.

I became lactose intolerant after my first miscarriage. I still have a bit of a problem, but it has gotten better over the years.

My hair is darker. It used to be very blonde but now it is light brown.

Also, instead of "rolls", I now have the "c-section flop".

Let's see, other than my (most of the time) wonderful little boy, pregnancy gave me:

Terrible stretch marks on my belly (I feel your pain, Brittany)
A size 8 foot (I used to wear 6 1/2!!!)
I lost a cup size (now I'm a 38 D instead of a 38 DD)

My belly!
I don't have a clue how I'll get it back under control. Little Debbies don't help, I know that.

My lord, I have quite the list!
Stretch marks all over my hips/thighs and boobs.
Speaking of boobs, I now only have soft droopy skin where boobs once lived.
My belly skin is stretched out and soft. I could really benefit from a tummy tuck. My belly is really big but the skin is just gross looking imo.
I hated mexican food until I got pg with Payton. Craved Taco bell and now mexican is my all time fav!
I think that my hips are wider too but I have no proof.
