TMI Thursday!

jayandaplus

I don't think we did one Tuesday.

So, bring it on. At this point I'm sure it's all poop and mucus... but hasn't it been the whole time?

My TMI is that I've been googling this morning how long I have to wait postpartum to masturbate. It's part of my routine and I miss it! For what it's worth, seems like it's whenever I feel comfortable as long as it's external. 

KMD1106

I must get somewhat nervous before every doctor appointment because it seems like I have to poop multiple times on appointment mornings. That's not easing my mind about not pooping during labor! 

jayandaplus

@kns1988 Thanks for sharing the results of your research. I'm so glad to know there's no necessary waiting period!
@KMD1106 I'm so worried about pooping! Maybe it's a good sign that you'll get it all out before labor. Did you poop during labor with DD?

My TMI is vagina spasms. This started a couple days ago and is increasing. Along with my pelvic pressure and pelvic and back spasms, my vagina is now on board. WTF body?

kns1988

@jayandaplus, @kmd1106, so many things will come out of you and just drop in a medical waste bag that's then whisked away. You really won't know or care if you pooped. I understand the worry and I don't want to discount it, but you can rest easy.

This isn't Too TMI but I got up to pee in the middle of the night and I must have sat just in the right spot because I had some legit flow to my stream again! It sounded like non-pregnant pee! So exciting. Hahah. 

Also so I think I'm finally getting constipated. Probably should get on a colace regimen sooner than later 

jayandaplus

@ShadeofGreen816 Gotta love a good flow. As for the constipation, totally jump on the colace bandwagon. It took me too long to decide it wasn't a bad idea. I find just taking it prn also helps my anxiety (pregnancy hormones + constipation = bad) and discomfort (there's no room for extra poop).

ETA: I always think of @WombThereItIs when I take my colace because she has been advocating for it for months.

I think I already had my 1st period... is that possible after 1 week? I was bleeding, then it went away, then it full on started again with bright red blood at 1 week PP and is just now tapering off... I'm already SO tired of pads 

not cool body, not cool....

  I am honored you think of me when you take your poo medicine.

Bowel regularity is too important to be shy about! 

jayandaplus

@BeachMommy2B That sucks!! Are you sure it wasn't just from birth? I'm a FTM, so I have no idea, but 1 week pp seems pretty soon for an actual menstrual period.

WombThereItIs

I sneezed while peeing and the pressure change from trickle to firehouse is making me feel like I exploded my urethra. Oh my gosh. 

@BeachMommy2B I remember my pp bleeding last time was kind of start and stop, I would be surprised if it was a period. 

hp_momma

@BeachMommy2B I'd be surprised if it was period already again too. I'm betting it's still pp bleeding! 

BabyMC517

@WombThereItIs I totally sneezed while peeing before being pregnant and oh.my.gosh did it hurt! It lasted a couple of days too and there's really nothing you can do unless you see blood then you'd go to your dr. No bueno!

I'm in the camp of when the little guy moves and kicks me in the right spot I have to run to the bathroom for a BM. At least that's what I'm telling myself its from. I'll be totally fine then he'll do some karate kicks and wiggle around and off to the bathroom I go! Super annoying, but hey at least I'm pooping!

Peed all over myself Tuesday night getting ds out of car. I have a 1.5 hr drive home plus daycare stop and their toilet wasn't working so I couldn't go there. Ready for this to be over

KMD1106

@jayandaplus, she was breech, so no pushing. I like the thought that my nervous BMs mean I'll get it out early. I'm going to go with that.

RedInLove

My TMI is I drank some of DH's green veggie V8 juice a few days ago, and now I'm on day 2 of green poop. It's gotta be the juice because I gave DD some as well and her poop was green for a day. Just mine is lasting longer. 

nda_roxybabe

Every night when I stumble to the the bathroom to pee I get super paranoid that I landed in the right spot. I purposely keep my eyes mostly shut and try not to wake much otherwise I wont get back to sleep and I'm so worried I'm going to accidentally end up in the closet or something, haha.

starphish18

I haven't pooped in over a day. Obviously that's not super long, but it's unusual for me. I've been very regular my whole pregnancy up until now. 

MiaQuiche84

@jayandaplus @KMD1106 I too am worrying about pooping during labor...my husband and I have been joking about it and that seems to help a bit. It's probably going to happen and I just need to roll with it!

MrsFreeman2010

I didn't poop at all during labor/delivery with my first. But I had a good cleaning out the day before I went into labor. Yesterday....poop everywhere. I told my nurse that I thought I had gas and it was stinky and I was sorry and she moved the blanket and was like nope, not gas. Whoops! I had just gotten my epidural so it was still super heavy setting in so I couldn't feel anything. The good news was it was because he flew through the birth canal super fast and was ready to be delivered so he just pushed everything out with him. I told my nurse I'll get her a good Christmas gift

WombThereItIs

I just want to throw this out there since ladies are having babies, talking about sex in the future,  and I guess it is TMI-ish...

If you plan to breastfeed it very well may become an absolute desert down there. Lube is your bff. It doesn't matter if you were a watery goddess before, you'll want to use it. ALL of it. Reapply if you need to, it is no joke and your doctor probably won't give you a heads up. So if hubs starts giving you the DTF look after your 6 week post partum visit, make him stop my CVS and get some KY, you'll thank yourself later. 

jayandaplus

@WombThereItIs That's just a breastfeeding thing or a pp thing?

bailey8809-2

I have lost count of how many times I've pee'd myself this week either sneezing or coughing, I can't wait for this cold to go away!

Second TMI I may have already shared before but I can't remember - regardless it's even worse now! I feel like my vagina is now completely inside out and my underwear keep getting stuck to it like a bad wedgie. It's so gross and I don't remember it being that way with my first at all. 

inomniaparatus2

ugh I finally slept for 4 hours straight woke up had to pee like crazy so went to the bathroom and as I'm walking slowly peeing myself as I cannot hold it in. My pelvic pain and full bladder just won't hold it. So then I have to wash myself off and change at 3am which afterwards I'm wide awake. Also feel like I have major incontinence as when I really gotta go my panty liners are damp. I want my normal bladder back. 

psherman42wwsa

TMI/FFTC I just took a warm relaxing shower and realized I'm all out of clean underwear that actually fit.. So I put on a pair of my husband's boxer briefs under my target nightgown... I think it's the most comfortable outfit I've had on in awhile, therefore I'll probably repeat this tomorrow night....

I'm sure that's what it is. I think I just blocked all the sucky stuff from my memory last time because there's been a lot that I just had forgotten until it happened again  

emilyalso

I couldn't remember where everyone was talking about post partum hooha care baskets and what not... And I figure this fits just as well here. 

When you're putting together your care-kit, make sure to include a box of zip-lock bags. Unless you've already had a baby, it's possible some of us haven't worn pads since the 90's, and they need to be CONTAINED - especially at the rate they will be filling your bathroom trash can. 

And you thought the pregnancy glamour was almost over...

DD and I went to visit DH at his office today. Two minutes after we get there I have to poop. Pregnant ladies can't wait, so I go. It's a 2-stall, the other is occupied. She is clearly camped out, and I debate waiting her out for a hot second, but pregnant poops wait for no woman! Not as relaxing as home, but I just did my business and left her in peace. 

Whatevs I don't give any f*cks anymore!

kns1988

@llenadevida900, the poop standoff! That happens at my office all the time.

TMI: So many bodily fluids came out of my tiny baby at 5:30 this morning. I had his penis covered, but then I reached for the desitin and he peed all over the rug and himself. As I'm dealing with that, he squirts poop everywhere including into my hand. I get him all cleaned up, and he pees on himself again. He's like a fountain of poop and pee. 

jayandaplus

@llenadevida900 Ha! Lovely story. I'm glad you went in, got it done, and left before she even left her stall. Maybe you helped inspire her?
@kns1988 Oh, so much for me to look forward to! Was his nose running also?

Yiggle09

Bent over last night to get something for ds thought my water broke because I didn't feel myself pee.... nope I just peed all over myself again....

jayandaplus

@Yiggle09 Ugh, the pee! You reminded me of one. I keep getting strong BH contractions, and a couple times it's made me pee, a just a couple drops on my panitliner so nothing major, but it's so terrible.
