Hello all. I'm having number four! With all of mine I have had a heightened gag reflex (brush teeth, gag/puke..repeat), extreme sensitivity to smell (Eternity perfume especially!), aversion to all drinks except for decaf green tea and ginger ale, bad taste in the mouth, and extreme nausea if I don't eat every 2-3 hours.

Anyone else have a shooting pain up their rectum? Nasty, but it hurts, esp. when I'm trying to carry my 11 month old around. ugh.

Yuck...all of the above! I am exhausted all the time, I can't kick the nausea, food doesn't sound smell or taste good anymore, I can't sneeze, cough or hiccup without vomiting. My heart races and I loose my breath with the slightest exertion! And the migraines...my goodness...does it ever end???

I have peeling and cracking of skin around my cuticles. Does anyone else have this? I have had it with both of my pregnancies in the first trimester.

If you are experiencing morning sickness I tried Zofran and it helped a bit. This is my second pregnancy but my nausea was helped by the medicine. It won't take it away completely but it might keep you from jumping off a cliff. By the way, I am with you on the heart racing thing. I hate it, sometimes I feel like I have to take a deep breath just to get my heart going again.

Can anyone tell me whether it is normal for your belly button to be ALOT hotter to touch than the rest of your belly? (8 months pregnant?)
