I lost some pigment in my skin in some patches...My OB told me it would come back after DS was born ( of course I didn't believe him ) But sure enough it did!! and another thing I also got was skin tags (only little ones) 2 under my arm and one on the inner part of my thigh, they have never gone away though...gosh I sound like a right treat

I'm going through at least half of these symptoms. I try to minimize them through what I eat and do light exercise or short walks
Swelling: I like to juice fresh fruits and veggies. Strawberries, Kale, spinach are just some of the natural anti-inflammatory foods
For aches and pains I like to eat cherries, it works better than taking pain killers and is completely safe.
Sleeplessness I eat almonds, cherries, and or walnuts. They increase your melatonin and relax your body so you are in a better sleep mode.
NEPTUNE, you complained of leg cramps. I've had those so bad in each of my pregnancies at night it's horrible. I told my doctor about them and he said it was lack of calcium. So I started eating a yogurt before bed and sometimes took a calcium supplement and it almost completely cured my leg cramps.
