My asthma got better.
I developed lactose intolerance.
I consider it a fair trade-off.

I had an emergency C section... and my intestines did NOT get put back correctly. Lots in GI problems. I still am having trouble getting my abdominal muscles back to snuff even after 2 years. I try to do very gentle abdominal work but I get these horrible charlie horses IN MY STOMACH that has me writhing and crying on the floor. It's so F-d up. I can play 4 ice hockey games in a weekend but if I plank too much I'm turned into an invalid. I don't know if these classify as weird or not. Probably not. But I'm griping anyways.

Haemmerhoids (sp?) Much drier skin Thinner hair post delivery Looser skin in lower abdomen ( No matter how much abs exercise I do , I CANNOT get rid of them ) Good thing : my periods became much less painful.

My feet grew, my ribs spread big time.
I weighed 15 pounds less two months after DS was born than I did when I got pregnant. I couldn't button any of my cute little sundresses. Two inch gap! I could fit into my old jeans.
I breastfed both kids. At least 6 years after the last one, I'd still get the sensation of let down when I heard a baby cry.
Regarding your itching scar...I burned my leg when I was a kid with boiling water. Really not badly, I immediately pulled my jeans away from my leg. But all these years later, I will still randomly get a burning sensation in that spot.

My allergies went away, which was wonderful.
I love peanut butter now (used to be disgusted by the thought of it, but during pregnancy craved it.)
Over two pregnancies feet grew from 7 to 8. And I still have a few pairs of gorgeous size 7 fab shoes that I really don't fit into but can't bear to get rid of.
Things just hang differently. I don't want to elaborate on that one.

After we had a baby my body didn't change immediately, but by the time we had toddlers the sleep deprivation and stress started getting to me. Gray hair, acne breakouts, higher blood pressure. It sucks.

My feet grew too.
Lets just say if I have a cough, I make sure I'm using the facilities frequently.

Thank G-d I already have kids bc reading this thread would make me want to get sterile. Yeah....apparently the YM crowd doesn't want us childless YMers to add to the population. ETA: I'm already more of a 10.5 (which barely anyone makes) than a 10. I can't live with bigger feet. Alright, who here wants to have my kids for me?

I am now allergic to certain seafood now, things I used to love Scallops, mussels and the such now make me violently ill Oh, I also got stretch marks in my butt crack and they hurt sometimes I didn't get that big during my pregnancy so I have no idea how that could even happen, just lucky I guess ETA: I used to have a great memory but now I forget everything

My boobs are still bigger than they should be. Jumping is a dangerous activity - finally got control over sneezing. Mostly. Hair remains thicker than before pregnancy. I got super-anxiety with every cycle and had panic attacks and had to be on Xanax for 6 months. Fun times. Kids are the best.
At least the skin tags went away.
ETA: I just remembered, some of my fingernails grow in weird now. They used to be pretty perfect, now there are some that grow in oddly flat or with a weird curl where it shouldn't be.

The hair on my toes and feet turned brown. As if blond hobbit feet weren't bad enough...

Due to increased blood circulation "down there", toe-curling, ...ummm.. responses. And they weren't bad to begin with.
I suppose my abdomen is a little softer and I have a few stretch marks, but other than that I can't really complain.

Oh, my boobs got bigger with each pregnancy and never went down... And they were ginormous to begin with... But I got a reduction and it's been all good since then ETA: Oh yeah, I forgot about the memory thing...

I actually cycled normally for a few months after #3. Usually I don't cycle unless I'm on drugs of some sort (either BCP or to get knocked up).
My tolerance for alcohol changed. My 20 year old self would have gotten depressed knowing that at age 37 I get drunk on a half a bottle of Hard Mikes.
Otherwise, my body never really changed due to pregnancy. I still have the same shoe size, and I could fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes within a couple weeks of giving birth.
ETA: Who knew I could like myself?

Took some time to regain bladder control.
There's a tendon in my groin that hurts like the dickens whenever I stretch it.
Still working on my abdominal muscles. They're ridiculously weak compared to pre-pregnancy.
Jiggly belly.

Xanax! I want! I haven't noticed much yet... I think my feet got a little bigger, but I tend to buy my shoes too big anyway, so the ones I have still fit. No hemorrhoids or incontinence or stretch marks. I'm 5lbs over my prepregnancy weight, all in my abs, but they were never bikini-worthy anyway... I seem to cry a lot more these days but I think it's the sleep deprivation.

Jumping is not a recommended activity even if I have just used the toilet.
I have sciatica problems that I never had before. It drives me nuts. I hate having my back hurt.
neither of those are too weird, they just suc.

Sarcastic - while I was pregnant, I would experience what Athena talks about... in my sleep. Nothing needed, just wake up *POW*. Sometimes 3-4 times a night. Only part of pregnancy I actually liked.

I forgot about the skin tags. Like fifty of them, on my neck and shoulders. Sex has been better, though. Right after having the boy, the first couple of weeks, my appetite was really weird. I'd be fine and then all of a sudden so hungry I thought I would be sick. It was inconvenient. I ate a lot of English muffins and peanut butter...(And chocolate pie.) Bonus? The kid likes playing with the pie tins we saved.

yes skin tags. yuck.
hemorroids
hair fell out and grew in white
Funny looking genitals
dangling eraser nubs for nipples
weird body hair growth
can't stand wearing contacts anymore
Numbness and itchiness around c-section scar
Numbness and tingling on my right side after both pregnancies, lasting well over 6 months.. They thought it was MS, but the MRI came back clean. We're on a holding pattern on that.
And I am completely addicted to forums. I would be stuck for hours breastfeeding or holding my baby, and my smart phone saved my sanity! It allowed me to go on to forums to learn and not feel so isolated.
Last and not least, I dyed my hair in the last month of my pregnancy. I dyed it my natural color and only the roots to cover some gray. Apparently, that's a big no-no. The hormones make the dye react differently. I have a brassy band of hair that I'm still growing out!
