TMI Tuesday!

WombThereItIs

It's my favorite day of the week, TMI Tuesday. 

Dish on anything especially gross going on pregnancy related or not. Things are only going to get weirder and grosser as we get bigger! 

Just remember, nobody wants to see your mucus plug. Ever.

This isn't THAT gross but the poop situation is driving me crazy. I don't go for days at a time and then I have diarrhea. Like wtf. And I'm getting horrible upper abdominal/epigastric cramping off and on and it's making my nausea even worse! If I could just get my GI tract on board I'd love this pregnancy!

My crotch is sweaty. If this keeps up, I'm sure it will smell real nice when they start checking me. I don't remember this with my first. Please tell me that I'm not alone.

@ShadeofGreen816 story of my life!! I'm so unhappy - My husband asked me if I had a bump already and I said, No honey, it's just poop. I'm so gross LOL

WombThereItIs

@clebl24 that happened to me last time. Being huge in the summer was gross. I make all my OB appointments for the first thing in the morning to minimize the damage!

My 23 month old told me completely out of the blue last night "mommy, poopy. Potty?" And I'll be dammed if by the time we got upstairs he didn't have a little bit of poo prairie dogging it but he really tried to wait and finished on the toilet! Now I'm worried I have to potty train. Nooooo. 

Also my aereolas are encroaching over most of my boob. Retreat!

@clebl24 you're not alone. I have a definite case of swamp crotch going on.

slam1110

Oh man, these are cracking me up, I'm glad we all still have a sense of humor! @WombThereItIs love your aereola comment! 
+1 to the sweaty crotch. 
The past couple of days I've been gagging and getting that lovely pre-saliva that means I will be throwing up shortly.  Luckily I've been able to hold it off, but it's getting harder and harder.

FatPony

@clebl24 - your post made me LOL so hard!! Sorry, I had forgotten about swamp-crotch; I'm not there yet. 

Tmi- I'm still pooping okay......but I know Mr. Constipation is waiting right around the corner

mamasmurf12

The constipation makes me look like I'm 5-6 months along. Every time someone says "wow, you're showing already!" I just want to say, "No...I just need to POOP!"

pshaortao

Also team swampcrotch lol. Its gross and Im self conscious of it. I used to be able to wear whatever bottom for at least a couple days. Now? Forget it. Good thing I have a large number of LLR leggings so I have enough to wear.

BM is still pretty regular as long I have my daily coffee. This does have me wondering if those who are constipated also drink caffiene? I can't imagine otherwise!

amprince22

Agree with all of these! The needing to poop makes nausea so much worse, too! @slam1110 I had the Presaliva about to gag for a few weeks, but never actually puked and now it is starting to subside. So there is still hope for you! 

ShadeofGreen816

@pshaortao I actually haven't been a regular caffeine drinker for over a year but I never had constipation issues prior to getting KU.
@amprince22 how far along are you? I am really hanging on to anyone who says their nausea is subsiding so I have some hope. I'm down 10lbs and can hardly eat anything!!

MamaMiller

Ladies..since you all have been honest- I have some funky crotch going on too! I change my underwear in the evenings just to try and help out.... my urine too- it is rank! I am probably over compensating on my perfume to help even things out! 

cnsdjs

Total swamp crotch here. I've also had some chest congestion so the coughing fits cause me to lose control of my bladder a little. Always fun to be sitting on the couch with DH, have a coughing fit, and have to bolt to the bathroom so I don't pee on the couch. DH thinks it's hilarious and the dogs give me a "what the hell?" look. 

MrsFox2008

Im right along with most of you ladies.... swamp crotch! 

starphish18

Burping. All the time, and loudly. My husband thinks it's hilarious, but after 4 weeks, I'm sick of it.

ShadeofGreen816

@starphish18 my burping is SO out of control. Unfortunately it's worst at night when DH is home. He basically doesn't comment on it but I'm very self conscious and apologize about every 3-4burps! 

Yiggle09

I don't have sweaty crotch I have ovulation like mucous constantly through the day and sometimes when I stand up from sitting my scrubs down there feel moist. It is disgusting. I have diarrhea so bad today i took half my clothes off because I got so hot and uncomfortable. And I had my first throw up out of nowhere this am

SparkySunDevil

Swamp crotch and gas. Good grief. I have my first doctors appointment in a couple hours and I just got done showering. My DH said "I think you groom more for him than you did for our wedding" haha

CherylE418

Omg yes to all of the above! The constipation/diarrhea, swamp crotch (going through undies and bottoms so much faster than usual!), burping, gas... And my latest is tons of spit allll the timeeee. Sitting at my desk at work eating a ring pop someone just gave me, took it out of my mouth, and definitely drooled blue sticky crap all over my sweater! Ugh I look so gross and stupid! 

klabuda17

OMG I am laughing so hard. But seriously ladies the prenatal vitamins are why you are so backed up, my dr. prescribed me one with a stool softener and life is good .

mamasmurf12

I have to wonder if "swamp crotch" is legit, or if our super-noses are making it so we can just smell everything that much stronger?

Gross...

MamaMiller

@mamasmurf12 very insightful and equally horrifying thought- do I always smell that bad!

CherylE418

Well... The hubs has noticed some too... So unless I'm just extra disgusting (geez I hope not!), I'm afraid it's not just the sensitive nose

chickyclg

Well since we are talking about crotches mine feels like it's on fire, thank you Progesterone suppositories.

CajunSnowWhite89

Omg yes to the progesterone suppositories. I told my doctor it felt like a UTI or yeast infection and she took swabs, but said she didn't see anything and it's probably just and irritation. I have literally worn a pad every day since I got my BFP because of the leakage from these things. It's so gross.

arels483

Yes to so many of these! Discharge, gas, and constipation are my big three. I feel like a sack of gross.

pshaortao

I joked about swamp crotches with DH tonight and hes all like..


Its not very often he gets speechless haha

FatPony

^ahahaha!!!

amprince22

@ShadeofGreen816 I am almost 11 weeks. I still get some nausea but it is getting better! I was taking unisom and b6 and I have been able to stop that. 

flychick-2

@cnsdjs yes! I had a super minor cold a week ago but I ended up with the most bizarre cough that won't go away. I have to just wear a panty liner now, I can't deal with it anymore.

rkstro2

@CajunSnowWhite89 and @chickyclg I hear ya with the progesterone nastiness!  I have had to buy stock in maxi pads due to my twice daily progesterone suppositories.  The swampiness and irritation has been really fun on top of my general exhaustion, GERD, and nausea.

@rkstro2 Yes! I take them 3 times a day and they make me sick lol

Jkp7749

hahaha I loved reading these! Sorry you all feel this way, but it made me feel better about how nasty I've been feeling... I have a different problem though. The smell of going to the bathroom makes me barf. Yuck! Can't wait for second trimester.

Cubslove12

X100 for the gassiness and constipation! I'm so bloated I just want to poop and be done with it! It's also like russion roulette when I do poop in regards to the smell... I get so freaked if I have to go at work! 

MrsFreeman2010

I'll join the swamp crotch team! I don't remember it being this bad last time. And just general feeling of wetness down there all the time is getting old. Also have the constiption (I cut caffeine out which might be the culprit because it was making my nausea worse), rank gas, and heartburn.   Pregnancy is so glamorous

RissaAnnmaria562

So. Much. Discharge

It almost looks like my mucus plug but I highly doubt it's possible.

SparkySunDevil

So last night I was standing in the bathroom taking my medication and prenatal. I, um, passed gas....and it was THE most relieving thing ever. My DH said, "wow, I just watched you deflate" hahahaha. I had no shame. It felt so good. 

CarmCeG

I hope I'm not alone in this, but I have more body hair than usual. My under arms as well as my leg hair grow at an alarming rate -__-

I am also on TeamGassy, its horrible haha

Omg 3 times a day?!?  I'll totally stop complaining about my 2 times!

The extra hair is probably from the prenatal vitamin! But there is always the old wives tail of more hair is a sign of a boy! 

On the the opposite spectrum of hair, mine is falling out in masses. I feel like I'm already at the post-partum hair loss stage!
