Hi there,
I didn't notice a change in areola color until my second trimester, I never got a linea negra, and braxton-hicks like contractions didn't happen until well into my second trimester.  I felt painful cramping, like period cramps, earlier but not painless BH contractions.

This is so exciting for you!  I still can't hardly believe that you had your tubes tied and are now pg.  How amazing!  When is your due date??  You're remembering to take your prenatals, right?

Good luck!!!

Being a fair skinned chica myself, I never had the linea negra down my belly, nor did I have to deal with the "mask of pregnancy" I did however notice the darkening of the nipples pretty early, by about 5 or 6 weeks.

As far as orgasms, as your uterus grows, you will notice the uterine contractions that accompany orgasms more easily.

Hope that asnwers your questions somewhat.

Like andi, the only thing I got was the areola darkening.  It got slightly darker in the first trimester, and then even darker in second.  

As far as contractions after sex, that started for me in the second trimester.  

Take care,

Amanda
