Some research points to the changing hormone levels being the cause of ‘metal mouth’ while others say the increased sense of smell is partly to blame. Known as dysgeusia, this odd symptom can resolve itself by the end of the first trimester but for some pregnant women, it can continue throughout the 40 weeks of pregnancy. Weird pregnancy symptom #1: metal mouthĪ funny taste in your mouth – one that feels like you’ve sucked on a bicycle chain or licked a metal handrail – is one of the more unusual sensory changes that can arrive in early pregnancy. And some women experience some very strange symptoms of pregnancy along the way. Basically, most women don’t find out they are pregnant until around five or six weeks into their pregnancy, when their levels of the pregnancy hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) are high enough to register on a pregnancy test. If you’re still confused, you’re not alone. Your first month of pregnancy really only takes you up to your missed period. It’s that first missed period around four weeks later that’s one of the earliest signs you may be pregnant. The 40 weeks of pregnancy can be confusing, but it’s worth getting your head around this: technically the first week of your pregnancy starts from the last day of your last period. Constipation or even gas – it’s natural for your digestive system to slow down during pregnancy and for some women, this starts early.Implantation bleeding – a lighter, spottier version of a period when the fertilised egg implants in the lining of the womb.Tiredness and not feeling quite ‘right’.There are some telltale early symptoms of pregnancy, which include things like: Some women claim to ‘know’ they are pregnant from the minute of conception, while others don’t have an inkling until that first wave of nausea takes over or they take a pregnancy test. And that’s what can make each journey so precious. All pregnancies are unique … and sometimes that little bit unusual. Just as every tiny human is different, so too is the human body. But some women experience rather odd symptoms of pregnancy, too. How is it possible that incubating a tiny human has so many unusual side effects? Of course, most women will talk about the bursting bladder, difficulty sleeping and the swollen ankles as though they are a rite of passage into motherhood.
