@carries2018 when you are a teenager drinking beer on gravel roads you quickly stop overthinking it and just pee. Lol!

I feel like we all just got closer together through these stories. Slash are now super concerned about each other's parenting skills (just me?) and the state of each other's bladder/anal sphincter.
Since everyone is talking about poop I will share with you ladies that this weekend I was searching for a useable portapotty at the beach, and I saw the biggest turd log that I have ever seen in my life. I am still traumatized by what I saw and I actually ran out of there with my eyes tearing up. We ended up driving until I could squat a pee somewhere.

lol @ChocolateIsLife I used to work at a tourist attraction and someone left a turd the size of a human infant in one of the toilets. One of the employees went to use it and came out crying and laughing so hard she couldn't talk. The maintenance people were just arriving to service the bathrooms and she was just gasping and pointing at the stall. Now these are big guys who I'm sure have produced some big turds. And they go in and I hear the biggest one go "OH MY GOD!!!" and then runs out and pukes in the bushes...it was a fun day to say the least.
Fun fact. I poop in the upstairs bathroom instead of the downstairs if DH is downstairs. And if he's upstairs, I'll go downstairs. Even after 14 years together.
@canonmom413 me too! The biggest fight we've ever been in was because he thought it would be funny to bust in on me while I was pooping. I lost my mind!
@canonmom413 our master bathroom and our main bathroom share a wall. When we're getting ready for bed, if dh is in the master bathroom, I won't poop. You can hear everything that happens from the other bathroom. I also won't poop if he's in the downstairs bathroom and I'm in the upstairs for the same reason. We've lived together 9 years lol. I haven't even peed in front of him
@canonmom413@shan24@sjohns08 how have you gone years without ever pooping close to/around your DH's?? What if you're sharing a hotel room? What if you're desperate for a toilet and just gotta do it? SO MANY QUESTIONS!
DH and I poop in the same bathroom, around each other, on a pretty regular basis. Sometimes with the door open. Except during 1st tri when the sound made me gag.
Just going for all out honesty here, because we're all BFFzzz now ...
I used to be like that around DH, that was until we had a baby and I told him not to look and he LOOKED! That and PP ewwiness, he's seen it all. I won't poop with him in the same room and the door is closed, but I announce it and poop while he's in the bedroom.
@sdarling2010 if I have to poop while he's around, like a hotel room, I usually do it before getting in the shower. The shower masks sound and by the time I'm out, the smell is gone!
That being said, I did poop massive amounts on the delivery table, so I guess that mystery is gone.
@sdarling2010 TMI but I have chronic constipation, so I only go a couple times a week, if that. It's awful. But on the off chance I have to in a hotel, I either do it like @shan24 said with the shower, or I make sure he has the tv on and then usually most hotels have fans that turn on with the lights.
We used to live in an apartment when we were first together, like, we had only been together maybe 4 months at this point (Yes, we moved super fast). I had a stomach ache and let out a massive fart on the toilet that echoed. It was dead silent for a moment and then I heard him bust up laughing in the living room and then I lost it. He still gives me grief over it to this day.
This conversation is the best. Add me to the doesn't poop within hearing distance of DH club. He calls me his poop ninja. I swear for the first few years we dated I had him semi-convinced I just never pooped
@canonmom413@shan24@sjohns08 Up until a few months ago, i had never peed in front of H (and we had been together, and living together, for almost 4 yrs). I also had NEVER went to poop if he was home. Id wait for him to leave and then do my thing. Full disclosure, we tried Molly a few months back and we were so high (didnt want to stop carressing each other, touching, kissing) that he just flat out said "there is no way im wasting a minute not kissing/touching you while you pee, im coming with u!". Since that pill, we pee in front of each other and i go take a dump (lol) even if hes in the room next to the bath room and can totally hear me. One time he got in the bathroom while i was showering to pee... Turns out he had diarhea that morning. So his pride took a hit, he took a shxt in front of me even though he was very adamant about not wanting to cross that line until then. End of confession(s)
Edited cause grammar and to add : i can poop anywhere though, public restrooms included, even at work. In less than two minutes im. Done so i never had issues (leaving before the lady in the bathroom would come out and see me). Lol
Since getting pregnant, my pooping habits are like a daily part of the conversation with my SO. Usually me complaining that I don't feel good cause I couldn't poop that day (I'm still having the one in every two or three day movements) or how many prunes I've eaten and am worried it's too many. He's picked me up laxatives and softeners. And he's kind enough to tell me when he's had a movement that makes his butt hurt. That's love people.

+1 to trying to keep the mystery alive and not pooping in front of DH. But then I had a baby in front of him, so there's that. Right now I have all the gas though and sometimes there's no holding it in to get far enough way so he gets to enjoy that. Yay pregnancy!!
@sdarling2010 we travel often for the girls dance. In hotels I literally wait until he falls asleep. Or I'll go first thing in the morning when he's busy helping with the girls. Nine out of ten times, I hold it until we get to a venue where they are dancing because dancers stink up the bathroom first with their pre comp jitters that no one can tell it's me.
Eta: I do the shower trick too if push comes to shove ..... pun intended.
@cooaladolll I may be secretive about when I'm actually pooping, but I totally make daily conversation about dh about it. I'll complain about how I haven't gone in x amount of days, so I'm bloated and uncomfortable. And I frequently use it as an excuse to get out of sex.
I can't tell you how many times I have complained about hemmorrhoids to him in the past week.
This thread is making me laugh! I love you "ninja poopers". I'm in awe that you've kept it up for so long. Props!
@sjohns08 I have the same constipation issues. No fun at all!! DH is always asking how it's going, how long it's been, etc.
When DH and I were first together, I was working in Alaska for the summer and he came to visit for a week, staying in my small little cabin with one bathroom. (We'd only been together for 2 weeks before I left for AK) The first thing he said when we got to my cabin was "alright, if we're going to be staying in this small space together for a week, we need to get farting in front of each other out of the way, I can't hide that". So we each took a turn farting and busting up laughing. It was a real bonding moment. Ever since it's never been a thing!
I'm with you ladies on trying not to let DH know I poop! We've lived together for 4 years now and I still maintain that I don't poop. I do the shower trick, try to poop when he's not home, or if I really have to go I tell him I need to go powder my nose like a lady
This thread has me laughing hard enough to grab my laptop for a meme. The poop ninja thread (thank you @bluejeanbabi05 for that terminology) is now one of my favorites.

@sdarling2010 that's hilarious! One of my first pregnancy tells was really bad gas. We had just gotten a puppy and I kept blaming the farts on our new dog. SO caught on after a while though, lol.

I use to have a thing where I HAD to be at my own house to poop. Since pregnancy. Nope. I gotta poop, it's right then. And here lately it's first thing in the morning on the dot.
Squatting, yeah I'm a professional at that. You learn a whole different kind of balance when you're drunk and don't want to pee on yourself lol
Sooooooo how bout them.... uh.... what sports teams are playing these days? I think hockey and basketball are in the playoffs right? (Just trying to do an amazing job changing the subject here..... Anyone else feeling a little dry heave-y at the word poop today? Probably just me )
In other news, today I used prime now to get sweet potato fries and reeses peanut butter cups delivered to my house (I needed a small fan for DD2's room anyway so that got me to $20. Woo!). That may be the most pregnant thing I've done in my life to date.
So my phone popped up that there was an update for TB that had bug/issue fixes. I got so excited and immediately updated it.... you still can't upload a damn picture on mobile. Talk about a rain on my parade!
@tyannej I did the same thing!! Super disappointing that pictures still won't upload. TB should probably realize they've made 1000's of pregnant ladies angry and fix this bug sooner rather than later!
I don't not poop around DH but it's not something we discuss haha. Today I got home from work and he headed to the gym. I went to go poop, naturally my 3 year old came and had to tell me something and walks out leaving the door open. Two seconds later my husband walks in because he forgot his gym pass and here I was pooping with the door open. Super great!
Meanwhile I yelled at H last night bc I swear he follows me around to fart burp or poop in the nearest toilet. I climb into bed...he poops in the master. I contemplate peeing downstairs...he poops downstairs. I head to the kitchen to make dinner he has just farted in there. You are disgusting.

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh more than it maybe should have!
It doesn't bother me to poop or pee in front of DH. If he comes in and realizes I'm pooping I'll look in right in the eye all nonchalant and he'll run out of there. Because my poop stinks. Not his of course, just mine. He doesn't care if I'm in the bathroom while he pees but I am NOT allowed in the bathroom while he's pooping. He needs his privacy he says. *eye roll*

Random: Its amazing how different a second pregnancy is from the first. With the first it was all I could think about. H & I discussed names & nursery themes daily. We purchased multiple cute outfits & planned every detail out. With the second we have mentioned it maybe a handful of times, the new baby's crib will go.... I don't know in our room for the first few months then we'll stick them in with our toddler..? As far as clothes the new baby will wear DS hand me downs so if new baby is a boy great- if not she will be wearing monster truck onesies LOL.
@alwaysadventure I was so gung ho when I first found out ( 3rd baby) bought a ton of things and stocked up on diapers etc . But once I got sick at like 6 weeks, all I could think about was feeling better. Now I'm finally feeling better ( sometimes) and I'm like kinda going through each day hoping it feels real again. Maybe once movement starts and I know the sex. But right now just going through the motions of each day.
Hey @carries2018 because you and your "match everything!" Here are my girls when they were younger, and bonus 3 year ago competition picture of their first and only duet.
