Changes in pregnancy

Ask:
What changes did you experience while pregnant? Both physically and in your mannerisms or persona [that's not the word I'm looking for... ugh!]. One really strange thing that happened to me while pregnant was that I started driving TERRIBLY! Seriously, DH would almost break down in tears while we had to go somewhere together; I had to drive to minimize my car sickness but my driving was just horrible! I always had to focus so intently on driving that I couldn't hold a conversation or listen to a song (totally opposite to normal), and my judgment was off sometimes (like in turning too close to a curb for example). I had a hard time thinking of the right words for what I was trying to say. I had to have my hands into things, to feel what I was doing. Normally, I put ziploc baggies on my hands to mix meatloaf and have rubber gloves on while I'm cleaning, but when I was pregnant, I wanted to touch things and immerse my hands in what I was doing. It was......different. Anyone else have other things that were different just while pregnant or continued on past pregnancy (permanent change)?
Answer:

I get freckles when I am pregnant and skin tags. Both fade away within a year of having a little one for me.

Answer:

I was so timid and afraid to speak up about anything. If someone made me angry i would hold it in and pretend everything was okay. If we ordered something at a restaurant and they gave me the wrong thing, i kept my mouth shut and just ate it anyway.I didn't want to complain or speak my mind about anything, because i was afraid i would look like an idiot..........then i got pregnant....lol, and i didn't hold anything back at all. I embarrassed my dh many times during my pregnancy when i would tell someone off. I went from timid to outspoken in those 9mths. LOL, and it's stayed with me too!! Honestly though i think my thyroid issues started during that 1st pregnancy and it wasn't discovered until i was pregnant with my 2nd, i have read thyroid issues can change your personality sometimes.
Answer:

I was tripped and fell over my own 2 feet!! I also got skin tags.. They went away right after the baby was born.
I think I have also lost half my mind!LOL
Answer:

OMG!!! I was just saying the other day that pregnant women shouldn't be allowed to drive. Its is horrible. I can't drive at all. I was driving dh's truck on Sat and ran into a pole in front of a parking space because I went forward instead of reverse!!!! I honestly don't drive any more than I absolutely have to. It's nuts!

I am also clumsy but I am normally a little bit of a klutz. But now my balance is off a lot more. Oh and I started hogging the bed. I've never done that before and dh just laughs at me because now I need a ton of space when I'm sleeping.

I'm sure there are more and I would post them but my memory is also gone. I can't remember things I was going to do or even say. And my spelling has been horrible. I swear the baby is using all my brain cells.
