abs or peeing when you jump on a trampoline, necessarily...
With my second child, I started having gagging issues while brushing my teeth.
I still do, 19 years later.
I even have problems with certain types of toothpaste that create a lot of foam. BLEH!

I lost my seasonal allergies after my first was born. I had stocked up on meds waiting for them to hit, and nothing. Still allergy free 15 years later.

I can't eat portobello mushroom sandwiches anymore. I tried to have one while pregnant with #2 and it made me so sick and I haven't been able to even watch someone else eat one ever since.

I used to be able to drink a margarita or glass of or 2 wine and be fine. Now halfway into just one regular sized one I am just smashed. It is rather amusing to my husband how much of a light weight I became.

My teeth shifted. I have a tiny gap between my front teeth that was never there before.

Minty118 that's great! I wish I could make that claim! melanell , I've never had a portobello sandwich, so I can't say what pregnancy may have done for me on that subject. icedcoffee14 and I thought that *I* was a lightweight! That's really extreme.  lumo I guess your cartilage and stuff loosens up when pregnant, right? I can sort of see teeth loosening and shifting, but I'd never heard of it.

My hips are wider. Not just fatter (which they are), but they never settled back after my last birth. That's not too uncommon though.
My OB measured me before my first child was born because my pelvis was so narrow. I mentioned to him about a year after my second was born that I still felt "off" when I walked, almost like I had the waddle still a bit. He measured me again and my bones were significantly farther apart than with the first measurement.

My feet got wider. And I'd never had acid reflux before but now I have to take meds for it.

I can't eat olives and it took me a few years to like oranges (the white stuff made me sick).
ETA: I did go up a size in shoes.

I had very thin straight hair before I had my first. Since then I've got really thick, wavy hair.

I can't eat fried chicken. The first time I experienced pregnancy nausea was after eating fried chicken.

I still like sauerkraut.
My feet are a half size longer, but narrower (WTF).
My inflammatory condition went into remission while I was pregnant and has stayed there (knock on wood).

Although I never liked it much prior to pregnancy, I started craving peanut butter. I still like it a lot. When I was pregnant the first time I started to get a horrible lingering aftertaste from fountain diet Coke (not bottled or canned). Still do!  |

My feet also increased by a full size. I used to go to Bally's shoe sale twice a year, and treat myself to beautiful luxury shoes at a fraction of the price, and after DS was born, none of them fitted. I held on to many pairs in the hope that one day they would fit again. So far, they don't.  |

The same thing that happened to my mother, happened to me; we got really dry skin on our hands and have to moisturize like crazy. My mother can't even use handlotion, it has to be the really greasy ointment kind to make her hands somewhat normalfeeling.
Not sure if it was the pregnancies, or if it was all the handwashing that inevitably happens when you have a baby.
And my hair changed, it used to be very straight, now it's wavy. Which is kinda cool, cause I don't need to put in much effort to make have that beach wave look. But I thinks it is very common for the hair to change due to hormones in pregnancy. A lot of women have their hair change when going on hormonal birthcontroll pills aswell.
No thigh gap though *sigh* Still waiting for that one to happen.

Oh, and ginger. Can't stand it! When I got morning sickness, everyone told me ginger would help ease the nausea. To this day, over ten years later, every time I smell ginger it reminds me of that morning sickness nausea. Blegh! Good thing it wasn't a favourite flavour anyway. Can you imagine if I felt nauseous every time I smelled apple-cinnamon?  |

I would say the changes I've experienced post pregnancy are due to aging and my autoimmune disease. The only directly related to pregnancy are the obvious changes to my female anatomy.  |

42 years ago when I was pregnant with my first I ate a whole bag of nacho cheese Doritoes  Let's just say they didn't sit right on my tummy  . All these years later just the smell of them makes me want to barf |

My shoe and ring size went up with each pregnancy. It is a good thing I only had 2 kids or I would have some seriously long feet and big hands!

Due to DD #1 not sleeping more than 2 hours at a time when she was an infant, if I fall asleep and am woken up I am wide awake and can't go back to sleep. I also can't nap anymore (unless I'm sick) or I can't fall asleep at night.
I can't think of any unusual changes from being pregnant except the 25 lbs I can't seem to lose...

I can't ride some theme park rides because they cause motion sickness. Never had any motion sickness before being pregnant. This! Not only can I not get on amusement park rides (which I used to love), I can no longer read in the car or be on boats. When my son was younger, I used to have to look off to the side when I pushed him on the swings because just watching the back & forth would make me feel icky. |

My gag reflex is also more sensitive than it was before kids. I was fine with the 1st two girls, I went back to normal after each. After my 3rd, it stuck around.
My feet are larger (and they were big to begin with)
I hate the smell of maple syrup. Actually, that was because I when BF with my oldest, I couldn't make enough milk so I took Fenugreek and there was a strong maple syrup aftertaste. Yuck.
