• Heartburn - once, maybe
• Headaches - no
• Faintness or dizziness - just once
• Nasal congestion and nosebleeds - yes, by far the most annoying symptom
• Sensitive gums - slightly

• Swelling of feet/ankles/hands/face - no
• Varicose veins - no
• Fetal movement - yes, lots
• More energy - not noticeably
• Achiness in abdomen or back - occasionally
