    Also, I too pee in the shower. Usually when I forget to go before going in... I always get the urge to go when I hear all the running water.. And I'm not going to step out and go in the toilet when I'm all wet because that just makes a big mess.

    I'm all for keeping things to specific posts, but like our randoms/symptoms threads go for weeks! Or we miss the daily M-F threads sometimes. I just posted the symptoms thread twice in a row because I knew no one else was going to start a new one.

    Also it just makes me sad lurking other BMBs that have like 25 FFFCs by 10 a.m. and our thread isn't even posted yet.

    There are definitely regular posters who do start threads and regular posters who do not. You know who you are. Lol.

    @eazybreezy225 Ugh YES going pee wet is awful, so I would not get out to pee! I always hate being at the beach/pool and being wet and having to go pee. Like even if you dry off, if your swimsuit is still damp, your butt will be damp when you sit down and it's just the grossest.

    @MJDsquared @eazybreezy225 *Raises Hand* 

    I refuse to get out and pee soaking wet while making a wet mess of the bathroom when it all goes to the same place and I can just wash when I am done. 

    Pregnancy has definitely increased the frequency of that need... 

    My FFFC - I am totally a bad bumper. I lurk as often as I can, but I don't always have the time to respond and it makes me feel bad when I do want to jump in, like I don't belong. :( 

    I will continue to work to be better.

    It annoys me too when we're all still posting on the same weeks-old thread, BUT I have a thing about not wanting to start a new one unless it's on a Monday and starting for the week, or maybe first of the month? :grimace:  Guess I'm a bit anal that way lol.  I'll try to do one of them Monday if I remember!

    Someone asked about Hospital Bag packing tips and I totally think that's deserving of its own thread.  It can spin off to so many questions like - what did your SO do the whole time? Did your hospital provide x, y, z?  What are things you thought were indispensable and what was something you didn't even use?... etc...

    I looked at the other bmbs the other day and felt like ours seemed fine in comparison - but maybe that's cuz I know and like you all now!

    @txmomma16 I love when you jump in! I don't want to discourage anyone from posting because they don't think they're regular enough! And you certainly don't have to be a daily (or even weekly) poster to be welcome. I just am like...if you're someone who posts every day, why not start one of the threads every now and again?

    I'm just confused as to how you even get in the shower without peeing first. Never have I ever forgotten to pee...especially pregnant
  • Options
    FFFC:
    I went to go see the movie IT .. (totally epic btw, the movie is awesome) and never paid. We had vouchers for 2 free tickets.. which i didn't ever hand in.
    We just walked in, saw the movie and left, and I totally forgot all about it.
    In my defense, all the movie theaters around here don't have an employee that stands there and takes your stubs. The only time they do is if it's an evening showing on opening weekends of popular movies.
    The first few movies we saw after we moved here, I paid for our tickets on Fandango, waited in the concession line for 15 minutes, only for the employee to say, "oh, yeah, just go on in." Without even looking at my confirmation.

    Also, all the theaters here do assigned seating. Which I love! We never have to stand at the bottom of the theater, staring into the crowd trying to find a place where we can all sit together. Our spots are reserved.

    Sometimes I don't start threads just so I don't have to find a GIF (or think up a GTKY question for the weekly check-in *waves at the other Friday people*). I have literally started a post, spent 10 min looking for a GIF, stressed about whether it was worthy or not, and then decided not to post after all.

    I'll be honest, I don't pee in the shower because I forget. It depends on the morning. I have to take my dogs out before showering on work days, and most mornings now I have to pee so I pee first, which means I don't have to pee in the shower. But if I'm getting in the shower and know I have to pee I just won't pee first. Lol. Also sometimes I don't have to pee but then have to in the middle. *shrugs*

    +1 for peeing in the shower! 

    As for starting threads, I'll try to do better. 

    Idea:  anyone interested in doing a hot seat thread? Basically we do 1 or 2 people a week, we have a template of basic GTKY questions, no questions are off the table and then everyone chimes in with additional questions and the person on the hot seat answers them all in their hot seat thread

    @Marley629 I'm still trying to wrap my head around exactly how it works but it sounds like fun to me!

    Also @whiska I'm totally down for a hospital bag thread too.

    I definitely don't think our board is cluttered, so more threads for the win! Unless they're AW threads. Or just like super unnecessary to be their own thread.

    Count me in for peeing in the shower. 

    FFFC-I find our board boring most days and I am jealous of busy BMB's. I would be ok with every main topic we are all dealing with (picking strollers, hospital bags, anything really) having its own thread. The ONE TIME I commented on a random thread saying it could probably have been asked in another thead a bunch of you told OP nah, it was a good idea to make this it's own. I felt like an idiot  :D

    Add me to the pee in the shower list. 

    I agree with @beary67 I stick to the weekly threads because the others get so big and long and I don't want to repeat what's already been said/answered. I guess I could start new threads, too. 

    I can't think of a FFFC right now. I'll come back if one comes to me

    I do occasionally pee in the shower. 

    But it would totally gross me out if my hubs did it. Total hypocrite over here.

    I don't pee in the shower. EW. But I know from talking to friends that that's actually likely a minority opinion.

    @cait5413 We are the same. 

    @kvacmak  I have scandalous dreams several nights a week but conscious, awake me is like EW NO DONT TOUCH ME. I guess because in dreamland I am my "normal" non-pregnant self but IRL I am puffy, refluxy, and out of breath.

    @kvacmak I laughed at this and high five you for the confession!!! My dreams too are super horny, but in waking life I seriously want nothing to do with it. All I can think about is how uncomfortable it is now and I really don't have any energy for it! DH is going CRAZY!

    I post a lot, but I am guilty of never starting a thread. Initially, I thought there were certain people that started threads, but not too long ago realized anyone could do it. For most of the daily threads, I don't usually have much to say besides commenting on someone else's post so I never thought about starting a thread. My life is pretty boring and I work from home so I don't really have so many positive or negative days just a lot of blah.

    @kvacmak I dittle my skittle at night a lot because I'm usually horny lately, but it also helps me fall asleep LOL.

    I thought everyone pees in the shower sometimes. I usually go before I get in, but sometimes that hot water makes a little more come out LOL.

    Hahaha it would be sad if only 12 make it to FB!  My BMB was 3 1/2 years ago and we have 104 in the main group, and probably 40-50 of us active every single day.  There are also small groups.  The mass leaving to FB didn't happen until after babies were born and the bump imploded though, but it was way easier for middle of the night convos.

    @kaylawing I did something similar. I kind of have this thing where I don't want people to know the actual due date. So on all my "portals" (babylist, bru, bbb, Amazon) I used a different due date and they're all wrong :lol:

    I was totally that way this pregnancy too. When we announced we said "baby will be here at the end of the Fall season"
    When people outright ask me when baby's due I say "around thanksgiving". And even though we already have a date for the c-section only our parents and local family members know it. 

    I think a big part of it has to do with how hyped up people get about an exact date.. I know it doesn't really apply to me because I have c-sections but it really grinds my gears when I hear other expectant moms being hounded about it. A vast majority of people don't realize that a "due date" is actually just a rough estimation for when your baby will finish fetal development. You're technically not "late" until it's been over 2 weeks past the "due date". Your baby knows when it's time. Just let it be.

    Add me to the extremely horny while sleep category..  
    AFM... IF I find the energy to have sex I'm usually watching a lil porn while we do it.. Pregnancy has limited some positions and now it's just getting kinda boring and feels like more work than reward

    Except for the working from home part, I literally could have written every word you said (except I'd never heard "dittle my skittle" either lol, but it's  totally true about the falling asleep part!). I actually came up with an idea for a new thread yesterday, but now I can't remember what it was!

    Also, up until about five minutes ago I had no idea how to quote people. I just never noticed that option below each comment until now, so thanks for inspiring me to look a little closer at the screen lol.

    @SierraGood  YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS......ty for saying this!!! Sex is just too much work right now! When he wants it all I can think about is how damn uncomfortable it is and hes the only one getting anything out of it. He wonders why I don't want it!! So on that topic, I know there are a few different articles out there and I believe it may have been brought up before on here....BUT....are there seriously any good sex positions that actually feel good now?????

  • Options
    @Mandayno I thought I might be the only one!!!! Sex is like the last thing I wanna do cause it's so uncomfortable. I have found that doggy style with a bunch of pillows under me makes it suck a lil bit less.
  • Options
    @maddilatti I agree all of this except the part where you feel it doesn't effect you (aka everybody). This stuff does effect everyone. The skyrocketing c-section rate is a public health problem. It is also skewing the medical proffession's perception of what is normal. Most OBs seem to be completely losing the ability to deal with variations of normal. So if you don't fit in the small box they have for normal they cut. And the csection rate does not just effect the current child it effects Every baby that woman ever wants to have.
