January Randoms

Seeing as it is no longer December... What random things/thoughts/questions are you having?

LilLambie

I'm trying to decide which one of these I'm going to do for my next appointment. Any opinions?

DarkCat

I'm 12 weeks today. Woot! But something has been bothering me since my last U/S. Based on my LMP I'm 12 weeks on the dot but baby measured 2 days behind. I asked the nurse if I should change my due date from July 15 to July 17 and she said no. But every time I get to a milestone I think I'm technically two days behind. So what would you guys consider? 12 weeks 0 days or 11 weeks 5 days?

SparkySunshine

@LilLambie dreds definitely. But they must be blonde

Weville

@DarkCat I measured ahead my last ultrasound but we've been sticking with the initial EDD.

Go with what they say. If you are within a few days they go with the lmp. I was more than a week off so my due day changed . Baby is now growing a day ahead. They change and grow but go with the 12 and try to not overthink it. The reality babies rarely come on their due date anyway.

@LilLambie uh what the actual eff...

Weville

@LilLambie Maybe the nether regions version of this:

stillcozy

@Weville you have to use < > not ()

LilLambie

Haha @Weville could you imagine the Dr's face if someone showed up with that? O that would be great haha.

Weville

@Lindsayleigh1989 haha yeah. Brain broke for a minute

DarkCat

Thanks everyone. I'll enjoy my 12 week milestone Next week I'll officially start my 2nd trimester!

Weville

@LilLambie It would be priceless!

My toddler and I took a 3 hour nap, it was amazing.

Serious question for STMs- what do you do when your belly is so big that you can't groom your pubes anymore? Seek professional help? Go full on Tarzan down there? 

(I've been meaning to ask this so thanks for the segue @LilLambie )

stillcozy

We had an entire thread on pubic vajazzle and never once needed a gif...ugh I'm irritated that a bunch of pubes show up when you open this thread. Yeah I'm pissy today but I mean come on..

@elenabrent I know some ladies wax, I personally can't do the pain but I've heard people do both some get help, some let it grow I think it's more personal preference. I'll probably try to nair spray it as best I can.

I had laser hair removal years ago. My hair grows back now, due to my first pregnancy. It is still a whole lot less than before.

I shave some, but once I can't really reach, I will start getting waxed. Since I will be a scheduled CS,I will get waxes about 3 or 4 days prior to that.
I have found out that the natural musky smell after birth is a lot more mild with less hair.

LilLambie

Opps sorry @Lindsayleigh1989. Mixture of feeling constantly crappy and tired means I find weird things funny. Saw it on facebook and just about died laughing. My bad.

quartz02

@elenabrent I shaved everything all the way past my due date, no problem.

stillcozy

@PugsandKisses I was almost done with laser on my bikini (by done I mean 7 treatments) and it's all back!! Ugh sucks!

PugsandKisses

Yikes, that does sucks. My hair grows back thicker during pregnancy but thins out once my PP hormones level out.

Since thus is our last child, I will have more laser hair removal. My initial one was about 10 years ago.

fantasticmrsfox

I never had an issue not reaching with my first pregnancy. It may not have been the neatest shave job but it was sufficient.

I tried, but towards the end I gave up. It looked a lot like a Jewish rabbi down there - complete with tendrils.

My doctor told me that if you measure less than a week off from your LMP, they stick with the original due date. If it's more than a week, they adjust. I'd stick with 12!

DH helped me. It was not fun for me haha

AAAG13

On the topic of shaving DH and I have agreed that once I can not physically see what is going on down there he will be assisting me in the grooming process. This may gross some people out but I figure I shave his back regularly he can help me out down south.

Yup my confession is that I do nap every day when DS naps. And will continue to haha

blackgirlmagic

@DarkCat I also have the same issue. My baby is measuring six days "behind", according to my lmp but it's measuring on time according to when I ovulated, but they won't change my edd. The issue that I have with it is that I had to redo my blood work for my NT scan because according to the baby's measurement I got my blood work done a week before I should have. I get that the baby most likely won't come on its due date but clearly the baby's measurements has more say than my edd.

elenabrent

Thanks ladies! Hopefully I've got some time before I have to call in the reinforcements.

Wait. Isn't this a ransoms thread? What's the issue with the pubes post?

ButterMyBiscuit

I am fighting an uphill battle with stomach acid. There's not enough zantac or Tums in the world right now. I didn't deal with this until much later in my last pregnancy. Waaaah!

Do my best without being able to see. I don't trust DH with a razor down there. Haha. Anyone remember this?

I had to switch to doing a Prevacid in the morning and two Zantac at night.

nopegoat

I have successfully groomed through each of my three pregnancies with a mirror and crazy yoga positions lol. It's take a bit longer but it works.

calico34

I have freakishly long arms...so luckily I don't have to worry for a while.  But when I do, I probably won't worry about it...DH isn't going anywhere near my lady bits with a razor!

AAAG13

@Taymiller and @ButterMyBiscuit I switched to Prevacid also and it has been so much better than Zantac!

PinkLady2015

With the current threads going on in FFFC and here, I just had a disturbing thought... What if my belly gets so big I can't reach myself to masturbate?

SparkySunshine

@PinkLady2015 just scrunch over to one side and go around the belly. It's possible

@SparkySunshine
Phew!
