    Okay here is my question... When cloth diapering how do you clean a poppy diaper?
    You have to get rid of most of the poo somehow or other. I use flushable liners, so we just toss the liner with poo into a plastic bag lined trash can by the changing table, then toss them in the toilet at the end of the day.
    I didn't know those existed. It almost makes me reconsider going with disposable diapers, almost.

    Cloth diapering is nbd when they are little, but DS rarely has solid, well formed poops. Our toilet was old and not able to use a sprayer with it, so we abandoned cloth diapers when he quit breast feeding. His poop is just normally really wet and his pedi says that everybody has a different "normal".

    Previously we used a five galling bucket half way filled with water and vinegar. Dump whatever solids you can into the toilet and then lay the diaper poop side down in the water. Bucket had a tap on the side so I could drain it off and then I'd dump the contents in the utility sink and hose it all down before washing it. I did three sanitary wash cycles, only using soap the first time.

    Now that we live in a different city with higher water bills I'm not sure that well cloth diaper past BFing.

    If its in the first 6 months and breastmilk its water soluable and can go in the wash. After solids you can rinse in the toilet. We usually just scrape it off and then throw it in the wash. 

    Cleaning the diaper is not nearly as bad as cleaning the baby bottom

    Dumb question.

    Can you put yogurt right on your vag to fight an yeast infection? Just curious for those suffering. Obviously one with no flavor.

    Yeah I've done it. It's very soothing.

I think so...but you just have to be really careful about what yogurt. It has to be one without a ton of sugars because that could mess you up even worse.

    you can just wash FF poops, too.  Only need to start worrying about getting poop off the dipes once you introduce solids.  Both breast milk and formula are water soluble, so the waste from both simply washes away with water.  Solids aren't water soluble (think corn in the poop), so you try to limit how much solids go in the washer.

    We use a diaper sprayer for messy poops.  Most are ploppable now... particularly since DD seems to have chronic constipation :(

    I do. And I am multiorgasmic. And my orgasms have been really hard lately.

    Orgasms cause the ute to contract. I cramp not pregnant after sex, its just worse pregnant, presumably because the uterus is bigger so we feel it more.

    So I meant to ask my OB last week and forgot, but I randomly get this horrible pain that literally feels like my vagina is being stabbed. It is not cramps, it is not my uterus, it is just pain inside my vag. Stabby, stabby pain. It is usually brief, lasting anywhere from a few seconds to no longer than a minute, and may happen a few times a day. It is not sex related, because I'm in no mood anyway, plus the nurse and doc said no sexy time until my spotting stops. It is just Random Vag Stabbings. What is up with that?

    Its also referred to around here as lightening vagina, because it feels like your vagina is being electrocuted. I had it with my youngest DS but not until later but some women get it now, I've seen a few on here talk about it a while ago. Hope it stops, it would come and go for me.

    I've heard this described as lighting crotch. I've never had it, but apparently it is normal!!

    I had random vag stabbings (RVS) with my last pregnancy and I have it with this one too. I have no idea what it is. If you ask your doctor, let me know what he says.

    Oh my gosh I think it's so funny when I get further along, when my uterus pops over the pelvic bone, because after you O, not only can you feel your uterus get rock hard, but you can eventually SEE it! Mine would crunch up in a funny shape for a minute or so. It was so weird! I was embarrassed at first, like I didn't want my DH to notice. But by now, whatever. He's seen it all! ;)

    Also, after each pregnancy, my O's are much better & more easy to come by! (No pun intended!) :D

    Eta - oops I quoted the wrong person, but you get the idea. To whoever mentioned cramps after O'ing - totally normal & it gets more intense. :)

    When you orgasm, your body releases oxytocin, which causes your uterus to contract (and later - letdown of your milk). Fun stuff.

    I got the cramping after sex with DS. That's how I figured out I was pregnant. I don't think it's happening this time, though. Weird.

    Normally, I do not like to make light of others pain but every time I see 'lightning crotch' I picture bolts of lightning shooting out and it cracks me up. In my mind it's some cartoonish super power, like Spider-man shooting web... I know, I am twisted. I can imagine the pain is awful, but I just can't get past the name. In all seriousness, I really hope you ladies are all doing well. Please don't hate me for my twisted brain.
    That's what if feels like - wait until the 3rd tri when the baby starts to drop. My doc said it was from pressure on the cervix. I remember getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night a few times and would have it - I probably looked like a cartoon. It "hits" and you sort of jump and go stiff for a second like a damn cartoon being hit in the ass with lightening  - they call it lightening crotch for a reason. I think I would also scream and scare the shit out of DH the first few times, perhaps yell out a profanity or two. There is no mistaking it. Ugh, not looking forward to that again!

    Oh, duh. I wonder if my RVS/lightning vagina could be happening to me now because I have a nerve condition. Geez. Derp. Seriously, some of my medical conditions I have lived with for so long, I forget that they are a thing. So, yeah, it is probably just nerves in my vag going haywire as a result of more blood flow in the 'hood.

    Yep - almost every time.  Pregnancy sex is SOOOOO different for me.  I always have a cramp after the big O but usually just one long cramp.  But it's totally worth it  :D

    This was known as lightening crotch on my previous BMB... I don't know the real name, but lightening crotch accurately described the feeling for me.  Like being hit by lightening in the crotch.  Apparently totally normal.  I guess due to *changes* going on down there (I feel like that's the answer to everything).

    I have one...
    I apparently have an u/s scheduled for Thursday as part of my initial consult with my MFM. I'll be about 11.5wks. Will this be the NT scan or will they have me schedule an additional u/s for the next week? I could just wait & ask my OB Tues (or, you know, find out at the appointment), but that makes too much sense!
