I'm 22 weeks gone on my first and here's what I've found:

A couple of mornings recently I've woken up with leaky boobs! thank god only at night though!

Iron tablets don't necessarily make you constipated - they have great side effects too!

you'll want to hear all the old wives tales of 'it's a boy if you've this, it's a girl if you that'. But remembering to take it with a pinch of salt!

you'll feel so much closer to your dh, it's a really wonderful time!

you'll be having a bad day and the baby kicks you and you can't help but smile!

you won't necessarily have cravings or go off food. I am looking forward to a class of chilled white wine next autumn though!

everyday you'll be so amazed that a beautiful little creation you and dh made is growing inside you - it's just the best feeling!!! (and right on cue, baby just kicked me!!!)

+1 Its been 10 years since my last pregnancy and I can STILL remember what the movement and kicking felt like. Just lying in bed feeling the baby moving. Oh and the hiccups. How amazing are they?!

the hiccups are the best ever!! I've been really lucky with my pregnancy so far - the only bad side effect i've gotten is round ligament pains - that painful stretching in my abdomen. it's from the baby growing though so i really don't mind it. it's reassuring in a sore way! I really can't wait fro August when our baby's born but I will miss being pregnant!

Things I didn't know were that apparently your baby can have bleeding from the vagina or milky nipples when they're born.. Something to do with hormones passing from mother to baby..

The 'morning' sickness that arrives at 4 weeks and you still have it 24/7 AFTER 12 weeks :weep

the waking up in the middle of the night coughing and then puking pure acid - awake all night last night with it, doc says its a reflux thing cause baby is pushing everything up to make room for itself
