I'm still having issues wiping enough to get all the poop off.... I'm even wetting tp to help but then I just go pee next time and there's more poop on tp....
31 weeks with twins makes wiping anything after using the bathroom way too freaking hard. I feel like a potty training toddler "it's to haaaaaard to wipe!!" lmao
@WombThereItIs You're hilarious. Like, I love laughing (with you) when reading your posts. Thank you.
The discharge, crusty colostrum nipples, oy.
@Yiggle09 Have you tried flushable wipes? Maybe you need more fiber to bulk up your stools.
On the topic of wiping, I'm having a hard time reaching... I'm normally a front-to-back-from-behind but it's getting hard to reach. But I'm still managing to hit all the necessary bits.
Last night, DH and I had sex for only the second time in almost 10 weeks- since my placenta moved at 28 weeks (which was preceded by 8 weeks of pelvic rest). Anyways, when I got up to pee in the middle of the night, I stood up and felt a gush. In my sleep induced delirium, I majorly panicked and thought my water had broken. Then I remember sex was an actual thing that had happened, and that the gush was definitely no fluid of my own creation.

I have a terribly painful ingrown hair on my FUPA. I think I have another one in a more sensitive area too. I'm really glad my doctor didn't do a pelvic exam today.
Using witch hazel to try to clear them up before my pelvic exam next Tuesday and hope that further shaving doesn't create more.

I just died when I read FUPA so sorry about the ingrown hair though!

Hand your man a pair of tweezers and put him to work!
I woke up to a large crusty spot on my shirt. And I still haven't changed my top because I dgaf. Kiddo was sick with a fever yesterday so we're not going anywhere today. Now I just hope nobody comes to our door for whatever reason.
So far in this pregnancy, I've been fortunate enough to have very normal poops. I really haven't had an issue with constipation, except for this past Sunday when I was sick. I was in the bathroom forever, stubbornly refusing to give up and try again later. I ended up gradually shedding all of my clothes except for my bra, because I was getting so hot from the physical effort. Thought about yelling for my H to bring me a glass of water...decided against it. Finally, success (not even a huge poop, c'mon). H was very concerned and sympathetic when I finally reappeared.
I have what I now believe to be a sinus infection, and I woke up suddenly this morning with that lovely phlegm in the back of my throat. As soon as stood up and attempted to hack it up (gross in itself) I managed to pee all over myself. Awesome start to the day.
Lets seeeee.... My stomach hangs over my previous csection scar so my underwear is pushed into it and it hurts constantly! I ended up cutting the elastic to my panties and it looks so ridiculous. Glad no one is really looking.
Also i feel like im constantly peeing myself and i feel ya on not being able to reach to wipe. As uncomfortable as going to the restroom is, ive become a toilet paper brat and refuse to use anything other than my favorite haha
I woke up seven times last night to pee. SEVEN! Add that to the pregnancy insomnia and it's any wonder how I function during the day with the lack of sleep.

After 3 days of not going I have finally pooped. Feel like there's more that needs out, but oh god, what a huge and I mean huge, relief.
@fbmandy55 dying at your FUPA comment because I was literally just complaining to DH that I've gained weight there and didn't even think that was a thing until now

I have been far from lucky with normal poops. Got sick of it so I finally broke down and bought a squatty potty. This thing better be the amazing ray of sunshine I've been promised.
I've got a cold so I've been snissing my pants! and ladies the sweating is unreal. I gave my doc a heads up at my appointment today (she checked my cervix and gbs) she was like oh you can't help it plus it's 80+ degrees today.
This discharge whatever it is can go away. I didn't have this with DD. Between that and peeing myself all the time, I've been going through pads like crazy.
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
I posted this in my ticker change but I seriously can no longer poop on days that I don't go for a walk/jog on the treadmill. When I do, I usually poop within 10 minutes of starting my walk but if I don't, I can go 2-3 days with nothing but nausea from the constipation. It's ridiculous. Last Friday I was feeling so sick from the constipation that I went on a 20 minute walk/jog after the kids went to bed and I had the biggest poop I've seen in weeks. It's nice to have the answer to the constipation but frustrating that I can't just poop normally even while taking probiotics and fiber gummies.
Also, holy amount of discharge lately.

I was sitting in a meeting today at school in a dress on a kid's chair. By the time the meeting was over, the chair looked wet when I stood up. Was it sweat? Discharge? Urine? I pushed that chair in so fast...gross.
@0408Bear I've had them for a little while but just got REALLY bad today. Im not happy that I read they can stick around until after baby is born. I'm SO uncomfortable
I'm officially out of comfortable underware and have reverted back to thongs that are a bit smug at this point... this may be a FFFC but I still haven't done a load of laundry even though I've gotten to this point.
@Jens_Hoes you nailed it with the "rabbit pellets" coffee and high fiber cereal help in the morning. And using my sons bathroom stool as a "squatty potty" highly recommended!

My underwear have also been rather conceited lately...
Haha. I own maybe two pairs of thongs. And they never got worn for more than like.. an hour? I overbuy panties so I probably have like a month worth. But at lesat half of them are too snug now. #grannypantiesforlife
I have NOT been able to stay off the toilet today. I'm currently lying in bed with my underwear down and hemhorriod pads between my cheeks, because it's so raw and ouchy back there.
Thongs?? I would die. I haven't successfully worn one since DS was born. Props girl.
Yea it was a brutal 2 days I don't know that i'll ever go back at this point.
I broke down and asked fiance to wash clothes for me last night so i would have comfy underwear today. He did without complaining (after he basically did everything else at home with DD last night) I think I'll keep him around
Re: TMI Tuesday
My mucus plug came to visit again this week. This thing is like a pregnant period, we see too much of each other.
Also if my husband corrects me one more time that discharge is actually called leukorrhea I may slap him with my used underwear.

Also, extreme nausea and gas have returned. YAY!

Seriously, I haven't had an eventful poop in DAYS. When I do "try" it is rabbit pellets
