Physical changes

Breasts-
Early in your pregnancy they will feel tender and may be larger. As the pregnancy progresses and your breasts prepare for breastfeeding, they get even bigger and may leak an early form of milk called colostrum. Make sure you wear a well-fitting bra that provides both comfort and support.
Congestion-
The higher blood volume of pregnancy can lead to congestion and runny noses. Try using a saline spray to clear out the mucus, or a neti pot, a small device available in health food stores that squirts water through your nose.
Frequent Urination-
Your blood volume increases during pregnancy, putting increased pressure on your kidneys. Plus, later in pregnancy the weight of the baby on your bladder increases the pressure, making you feel like you always have to go.
Tooth Changes-
Your body needs extra calcium for the baby; if you don't provide it through your diet, it will steal it from your bones and teeth. You may also find that your gums bleed more easily, thanks to pregnancy hormones.
