Five Strange Things That Happen During Pregnancy

Due to the increase in hormones and the vaginal blood flow, pregnant women constantly give out a sticky white or pale yellow discharge which leaves one with a queer feeling and the need to change the underwear every five minutes. This is one of the strange things that happen during pregnancy.

The irritable bloating and cramping in the belly is another strange thing that happens during pregnancy. Women also find the urge to break wind often, but rarely is successful in doing so.

Even during winter, you have the tendency to sweat. The reason for this is that the metabolism, which is on an overdrive, provides extra blood pumping throughout the body, thus warming up your skin. Therefore, perspiring is your body's way of cooling off, thus making you over sweat even when it is cool.

One of the weird and strange thing that happens during pregnancy is the change in skin colour. One day you wake up looking flawless and the next hour, you are suddenly developing dark patches on your face, underarms, and on the rest of your body. This is due to the body producing extra melanin.

Legs form a road map with the protruding veins, which looks scary and is indeed one of the most strange things that happen during pregnancy. The reason behind the protruding veins on the leg is because of the accumulation of blood in the veins which is usually due to pressure from the uterus.
