@ecwk - It's in the It's a boy / girl thread. Maybe we should have named it "My baby will have a penis / vagina" to avoid all the poor knotties' confusion
Team no sex here. I kind of want to sometimes but have no energy.
I’m curious about the vaping too. Our best friends vape (just started) and do it around their kids and DS. I’m not super comfortable with it but don’t know if it’s really anything to worry about.
@amac12999 If you're uncomfortable with them doing it around DS I would have the conversation for sure. And I was a vaper (seriously - I don't know if this is a word?) for a long time and I don't think I would ever be offended by someone asking me not to do it somewhere no matter the reason.
@ecwk - It's in the It's a boy / girl thread. Maybe we should have named it "My baby will have a penis / vagina" to avoid all the poor knotties' confusion
Team whoever said it’s from the baby so it’s a bump. I can feel my uterus now, and I cant suck it all in. I look this way all day and today at my kids gymnastics I totally avoided talking to a friend I hadn’t seen in a while bc I wasn’t dressed to hide it well enough. Wednesday start sounds good to me, I’ll be a day shy of 11w
Here’s one. I loved loved Harry Potter until the last book. I hated the ending so much it ruined the entire series for me. It’s been years so I may not remember exactly but yeah.
i went to applebees today with friends and shared mozzarella sticks and wings with a friend and then ate a chicken fajita roll up. way more food than ive eaten in awhile, especially the last two weeks. i feel like death and am laying on the couch but pretty sure DH thinks it’s just normal all day sickness and it wasnt self inflicted.
also, i thought you were talking about vaping marijuana, not ciggies.
@livinthesunnylife yes to smaller group, there are so many people here now and even more lurkers. I hate posting and not replying to previous posters, but it's too much.
@pghctwife the same thing happened to me, but it was with the 4th or 5th book with Sirius... I was just so devastated and couldn't come to terms with an author who would do such a thing. That was when the books were just being released and I was a kid. Last year I saw the movies and got over it and read the whole series. I love reading so much but mom brain has kept me from really getting into anything, but I had such a blast reading HP. Highly recommend it for when you're nursing.
If you haven't had sex since BFP, please try it. The. Best.
@roadspeckle I live for that chicken fajita roll up sauce.
TTGP December Siggy Challenge: Favourite Holiday Movie Moment
@roadspeckle yeah I definitely thought they were talking marijuana too.
Confession #2 One of my favorite parts of being pregnant is the sex. It’s 10x more amazing and I need it at least every other day. My sister just got put on pelvic bed rest for complete previa and I was like “OHMAGAWD how are you going to live I would die.” ...and then felt like an ass when she seemed to not even care and said they hardly do it anyway. Edited because words are hard.
@matryoshkadoll Please elaborate. I have had sex like three times since BFP (poor hubby). FTM here. IS SEX BETTER WHEN PREG? STM fill me in here please, I'm still in the sore boobs, barf city, don't touch me kind of zone.
FFFC - I want to feel a sense of community on TB but I'm just not super comfortable talking about my pregnancy. I learn a lot from you ladies though as a young FTM and I hope to leave this phase soon.
*edited because I wanted to add that sex feels even more AMAZING now!
We haven’t had sex since my BFP and the nausea ain’t making me want to. I feel bad, though. But sex has never been the same since baby number 1 was born, and I’m still breastfeeding, so it never really got back to normal. I don’t think DH cares to much, though. We are sad, boring people.
I don't think it's sex that feels more amazing but just the orgasms. Mine are always more intense during pregnancy.
I guess since this is FFFC I'll just say that most days, I'm too tired to mess with the fuss of having sex (foreplay, getting undressed,etc) that I'd be happy just taking care of myself and going to sleep. ::shrugs::
Totally different for everyone. Difference in blood flow or hormones and the dreams too. I'm just always a little astounded that couples go 9 months (+ 6 weeks post partum, + more?). Obviously for medical reasons it's one thing, but not even trying just because you don't like the idea of it is hard for me to understand (I guess that's my FFFC). What if it's amazing!?

Me: 28, DH: 40 Married 9/28/13 DS born 11/12/15 EDD 8/13/18
My first pregnancy I pretty much closed up shop due to the nausea and fatigue. Ended up having some good sex in the 9th month as crazy as it sounds. I felt sexier and empowered in my womanliness I guess. Also extra blood flow provided more sensation.
PP sex didn't happen until baby was 10 weeks or so and it was just awful. I was not prepared for how painful it was and think it took me a good 6+ months to *kind of* enjoy it. I was also breastfeeding so that made it extra uncomfortable. Once I was a year PP and totally stopped BFing things went back to normal.
This time around we are DTD more and I am enjoying it. I shoot for once a week, no high expectations.
Pregnant sex is THE BEST THING EVER!!!!! Probably TMI but all the blood makes your clitorus and g spot more swollen and sensitive. I have found it’s super easy to O.

I have one set of parents in my class who is fucking crazy, and I'm at the point in the year where I just ignore their emails. They emailed three times because she got an 86 on a test. Three times. I didn't answer.
Dying to know what they want. Do they argue about the test score? Want you to change it? So much fun.
Sorry I got caught up arguing with a knottie about sex and gender... trying not to get another warning though...
Anyway, I'll crop my face or use a sticker thing or something. I didn't so weekly pics with my first pregnancy and I really wish I did. I loved my bump and I'm so ready to celebrate all the bumps here!
Bat signal. I wanna see. I’m so bored. Lol. You are always so entertaining.
Team NopeDon'tTouchMe for now. Way too sensitive, things never got back to 100% after I had DD and I am just a disgusting yeti beast right now. Don't even look at me, husband. I take care of him but this shop is shut down until further notice. We tried a few times but it was just painful and I cramped so bad afterwards I was in tears. Felt bad because it was nothing he did, it's just how my anatomy is arranged right now--it was decent before this BFP but nothing like it used to be before pregnancy #1.
I've done a lot of research on the subject and am okay with H vaping as long as DD isn't in the room. Neither of us are cloud chasers, but it was an activity I fondly remember doing together before first BFP and I look forward to doing it again after pregnancy and breastfeeding are behind me.
I quit smoking in September when I decided I was going to get pregnant. For me, my smoking was always the first excuse for not having a kid, and I knew I would never get pregnant so long as I was still a smoker. My husband vapes, and it doesn't bother me at all. To me it doesn't trigger wanting to smoke, so it isn't a big deal. I don't mind him smoking in the house/car. I still have occasional cravings, but they are fairly short lived, and easy enough to ignore.
I'm also not a fantasy genre fan, but I find both HP and GoT watchable, unlike a lot of the other completely terrible SyFy channel shows DH loves.
If y'all want to see my bloated, chubby belly I'll post a pic, but I don't know why anyone would want to see it. I can't even stand to look at it in the mirror! I'm at 10+5, but I don't expect to show (my first pregnancy) until week 16 or so. I'm short waisted, though, so I'm expecting to carry big when the time comes. We're going to Disney World for Spring Break, and I'm not looking forward to wearing a swim suit while KU. I think I'll look for a maternity rash guard.
For all you creepers, that's me and DH in my profile pic, so go nuts.
Me:32 DH:45 DSD: 20 DSS: 18 Team green baby due: Aug 6th, 2018
LOVE LOVE LOVE Harry Potter! Just got the illustrated copies for Christmas and Austyn loves reading them with me! Future Potterhead!
I also LOVE pregnant sex! I love sex all the time but it really is better when pregnant!
If anyone wants to see my already pregnant looking belly (thanks PCOS) I don't care. I lived looking back on them after I had my daughter.
My FFFC is that I let my 5 year old have her Kindle pretty much all day everyday while hubby is at work. I work 3rd shift and this pregnancy has me sooo tired that I feel like I can't function! So we cuddle in my bed all day and watch shows or read books or play games! Totally don't care right now! Screen time it up baby!
I went to sleep last night at 8:00 and it was glorious. I’m well aware that pregnant sex is awesome and I’m guessing I’ll feel up to it in a few weeks. Right now, every time I burp I’m not sure if it’ll be vomit and most of the time stomach acid or chunks of food come up. Oh, and the diarrhea sure is fun, too. So, for now, sex = NOPE
@dirtanddiamonds They wanted to a) let me know that she was able to do the problems correctly on her own at home, which great, but she didn't do it on the test and b) how I am going to help her improve.
The short answer is that I'm not. This girl is brilliant, has gotten a 100 on every other test, and these parents are torturing her. She literally does nothing fun. Her 'A Story About My Family' part of her family tree project was six pages- I asked for four paragraphs. In afterschool, her New Year's Resolution was to do better in school. She's six! It should be 'Become a princess' or 'Play with all of my friends.' The first month of school she wouldn't talk to any of the kids so they wouldn't distract her. She also has a nervous tick where if we're doing something challenging, she's constantly licking her lips (to the point where it's caused skin discoloration). They also swear she has a million allergies (gluten, chocolate, dairy, eggs, nuts, the sun, dust, pollen, every animal), but have no documentation from a doctor to back it up, but still, the poor kid can't have a cupcake during a birthday party.
And if they really looked closely at her test, they would see she had the right answer on a few of the questions, but erased them and put the wrong answer. This is not a kid who second-guesses herself. I think she's rebelling. I'm foreseeing multi-colored hair, multiple piercings, and cigarettes in her high school years.
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: 6/2016 TTC #1: 12/2016 Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
Pregnant sex IS awesome but it also isn’t. With my first I was horny ALL the time and sex was amazing right up to the end. With my second it was uncomfortable and painful from the beginning. I guess what I’m saying is that every woman is different, but also every pregnancy is different as well.
@jsnakehole she’s six?! My heart breaks for her! I used to teach music and had a parent email me about her first graders first quarter grade of N (for standard not met) and was worried it went on her permanent record. Massive eye roll. Yes, all the colleges I applied to wanted a breakdown of my elementary music grades. I think it was something I hadn’t even taught the kids yet, too, hence the N.
My parents are in town and yesterday DS was home sick, so I’m just catching up. I’ve never seen or read a HP and I’ve never had the desire to. We didn’t follow any STing rules, but we did get our nightly routine down and let him fuss a few nights. It works for us and he has always slept like a champ since. I always say ‘to each their own!’ ST has not been high priority with how tired I’ve been. We’ve managed a few times on the weekend (another foe the nap time ST!), but during he week I’m too exhausted after a long day. I guess my FFFC is that I just took care of myself yesterday morning when DH was in the shower and DS was still sleeping. I have no regrets with my decision. Also, Friends is life.
Pregnancy sex is amazing! & I feel bad for that little girl.
I’m not a big fan of Harry Potter, or reality tv for that matter idk why but I can’t get into it. I’ve never seen a single episode of the bachelor or any of the spin offs. Sorry so late to the FFFC
