Heartburn

Lightheaded
Fainting
Varicose Veins

Anemia
Perma. to mild back injury
Scarring can include c-section scarring as well as stretch marks. Common sense.

I love how you can find the list symptoms on pro-pregnancy sites, and people will still call it fake gonk

Yup.
A lot of those I was surprised to find on pregnancy supporters, and a few I didn't include were heavily linked to pro-life websites. surprised

Please post this somewhere in the Library of Logic in case we ever need to find it quickly. There's probably already a thread for the list.
