Kiwis reveal bizarre pregancy symptoms they experienced that you wouldn't think were a thing

Megan Papas - who is 32 weeks pregnant with her second baby - says she’s starting to experience a few weird pregnancy symptoms that most people wouldn’t know are even a thing!

"A lot of people experienced weird symptoms during pregnancy, and they just don't talk about it. So it's not surprising that there are a lot of weird symptoms," Megan explained.

"This I didn't know about. It's not gross, but I've had lots of changes with my skin. So a lot of pigmentations, that means a lot of freckles, a lot of dark spots appearing, and I've also had skin tags. Come up a lot on my neck."

"I do feel like a bit like a dinosaur, tiny little skin tags are appearing everywhere and I didn't know that that was the thing,” Megan continued. "Because your body's producing so much extra for the baby. I guess it produces extra stuff that makes extra skin?”

It turns out Megan isn’t the only one to come across bizarre symptoms while carrying her baby. Kiwi Hits callers chimed in to share their own strange experiences too.

“I couldn't eat steak,” caller Mandy said. “I could eat mince or any other kind of meat, but if you gave me a piece of steak and I stuck it on my tongue, I instantly wanted to gag.

Another lister shared that pregnancy actually cured their bad eyesight.

“My eyesight got better permanently,” the listener revealed via text. “The optometrist said, this is my eyesight now. So that's a positive”

Another texter said they got “wobbly teeth” and while “they didn’t fall out, but they started getting really wobbly and after birth, it just went away.”

The body sure is weird, huh?
