TMI Tuesday

Go ahead and ask your grossest pregnancy questions or vent about all your nastiness.
The things we endure to make a tiny human.... Sigh.

Personally I can't stand that I have to change my underwear two to three times a day just to feel clean.
However I am very happy we will not have summer swamp crotch. That was the ultimate worst.

awc1986 · October 2013

Oh the underpants thing is horrible. I have to keep going to the bathroom to check i'm not bleeding.

Also, i'm still pooping so I can't complain. However, about half of what i'm used to comes out and its such an effort. I never feel like i'm done either. I just want to get back on my regular pooing schedule!

This was going to be mine as soon as I saw this post. I think I am single handedly keeping the panty liner business afloat.

Last time I was super constipated. This time, if there was a poop Olympics, I would be a contender in all categories.

For those who have had a child already: is pooping after giving birth as horrible as I've heard it is? What does it feel like? Do you think your insides are going to fall out?? I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it...

gurleymomma · October 2013

To answer the pooping after birth question,i wish i could answer cause after my first baby my bowels backed up and i couldnt go or even pass gas and since i had c section apparently thats very bad.after 3 days in the hosp.we were getting ready to go home and i got sooo sick.nausea vomiting,even a fever.they said it was all because i was backed up.they wouldnt let me go till as they say i farted it out.tmi sorry.then i had diahrea for two weeks.im sure some women were fine.not looking forward to this part.lots and lots of walking after birth is best way to keep to keep you going.i had to walk the halls like every five min.ohhh man thanks i think i blocked all that out till now.great

jschwind22 · October 2013

I seriously have the most awful gas of my entire life. I have never heard or smelled something so disgusting. DH won't sleep with me. Ugh.

Yes. Sorry to be the bearer of bad new but it's important to know so you're prepared. I wanted to name my poop because it felt like I just pushed out another kid.

Pooping after birth was probably the scariest thing I've ever done. First of all, I constantly feared ripping my stitches and you can't wipe like you would normally because of all the hemorrhoids.

There you have it, the ugly truth!

sammy.k · October 2013

Seriously?? You won't even know you pooped. Waaaay to many things are going on down there to know what's going on.

My boobs hurt so F'ing bad!!! I almost cried when I took my bra off last night.

They are talking about pooping after giving birth, not during. And boobs are not TMI!

BBer4 · October 2013

Pregnancy sex = best sex I've ever had. Once I get my energy back H will not be walking straight for the rest of my pregnancy. There will be sex....a lot of sex....lots.

Yes I thought I was going to die. I had a c-section and I could not even imagine how much it hurt but it will go away and you will forget about it

mrspopsicle · October 2013

I had no problem with the after baby poop. I had a small, but painful internal tear and a couple hemorrhoids. I think I went the day she was born.

Maybe I'm a total anomaly here, but those painful uterus cramps the first few days nursing always made me feel like I was going to have diarrhea. I had to hand baby off to my husband mid-nursing session and dash to the bathroom on several occasions.

I had a c/s and I couldn't laugh/cough/sit up/force to poop ect ect ect for a couple weeks without pain meds. I took colace twice a day for like 2 weeks and that helped a lot. Make sure to have colace in the house for PP. It was a lifesaver for me.

Empireceo · October 2013

I also had a c-section and I almost took a picture of the first poop after birth (3 days later) because it was so impressive. Pretty sure it was the same length/width as my newborn son.

If that's not TMI, there is no such thing.

LoveIsAll25 · October 2013

I throw up everytime I poop. Right in the middle of pooping.

My DH thinks its hilarious.

wellybean · October 2013

I had the most horrible poop of my life yesterday. I hadn't been able to go in a few days, and it was super hard and hurt so badly that I was in tears. Not my proudest moment.

And the underwear thing. I have never felt so unclean.

rellicdragon · October 2013

Pooping was the absolute worst as were the hemorrhoids that came along with it ... They give you a sitz bath that you can fill with warm water and place on the toilet and sit it ... It helps your stiches and also usually helped me poop

dwnslde · October 2013

I was afraid to poop as well after I had my son but it was definitely not as bad as I thought it would be. Wiping ended up being more scary than the actual pooping.

I am ready for energy and sex drive to come back. I was so horny before I got pregnant (which ones of the first signs that was pregnant because it tanked), my poor husband keeps asking and I just don't feel like it. I had bleeding last pregnancy from an irritated cervix from sex since my husband is well endowed, I don't want that fear again but I want sex!

srad12 · October 2013

I was also scared about first poop after birth, but the hospital gave me stool softener automatically after birth so it was totally fine, and I tore and expected it to hurt!! Didnt bother me at all, based on responses above, I guess I'm lucky

Oatoa · October 2013

Late to the party but the key to pooping after labor is to ask for a stool softener when you ask for those first pain meds. It helps everything come out a million times easier.

They give you pills to help, but it's a little scary b/c it does hurt the first time. I took Dulcolax for the first couple weeks to help until everything was back to normal. Just don't try and force anything too much or you could get hemorrhoids. I avoided them, so I guess I got lucky there.

As for this pregnancy, I just hate all the nausea and gas. ugh.

sammy.k · October 2013

Aaahhh I see.... Yah pooping after giving birth sucks.

And the boob issue is about as TMI as I've got right now, thank god

I had a 3rd degree tear. The first poop was only painful b/c I had fully formed, super hard poo. No pre-delivery diarrhea/soft poo for me. And the beyotch nurse forgot my scheduled pain meds even once I asked for them.

Speaking of poo. diarrhea all damn day. my daughter was actually going back to sleep this morning but I had to rush off to the toilet & cut her nursing off. By the time I came back she was awake :'(

raeg13 · October 2013

Here's my TMI to scare all you first timers

I was so swollen after delivery I looked like I had testicles. Seriously. Testicles.

ETA: added details

g8trbaby01 · October 2013

Oh how I envy all you ladies having sex!!!!! We are banned until my 11week appt (October 15th) we haven't had sex since before the egg transfer so by the time my appt rolls around that'll be about 12 weeks sex free and I'm dying for an orgasim with all these CRAZY dreams!! Don't get me started on the constipation 2 more weeks of progesterone shoots and I'm hoping for a normal bowel movement that doesn't require 3 doeses of a stoll softener and me gripping the bathroom counter like I'm in labor just to get one little terd out. Last but not least my boobs have gone from a 34C to a 34 DD( and now that's getting to tight) in less than 3 weeks so my chest is killing me

But I will happily go through all of this to have my 3 little miracles at the end. Were moms right we'll sacrifice anything for our children lol !

whitehousem · October 2013

I was terrified to poop after I gave birth to DD... I had a difficult delivery with 6 hours of pushing (yes 6!) and tore in two places. But it was not bad at all and actually felt kinda good. I guess it's different for everyone.

TMI... I have been really gassy and sometimes when I try to push some out a little pee comes out instead ( thank you previous childbirth for that!)

I have decided not to mention any extra discharge to DH bc last pregnancy he never wanted to have sex and I'm pretty sure it's bc he was grossed out. Seems to be working so far

I was terrified after hearing stories, but it wasn't bad. I also had an pretty good tear. Just take the colace!

If you really want to know... after I had my daughter, I wasn't able to go to the bathroom for several days, and on my release day after my c-section, my nurse made me drink with prune juice and Sprite. I went to the bathroom and gave birth to an English cucumber (you know the really BIG ones with the plastic wrapping) out of my butt. It was very painful..

It's worse. For 6 months after (6 months!!!!) it felt like my stitches/scar tissue where stitches were was going to rip open. I cried real tears daily when I had to poop.

buggywhips · October 2013

Oh, and my pregnancy nastiness is the never ending yeast infection. I just finished a 7 day course and I still want to scratch my vag off. It's a billion times better than it was in the beginning but still not cured. And I don't know if it's pg related or not, but I just discovered a wart on my finger. So nasty. I haven't had a wart since I was 5.

pistolpackinmomma · October 2013

Another csection momma here and my mom was visiting when I first had to poop (1week pp) and I asked her how to poop with no an muscles. I essentially just sat and waited for it to fall out. I held on to my incision just in case if it hurt but it wasn't the end of the world.

Bahahahahahaha, thank you for the illustration! I'll never be able to look at cucumbers the same way again.

Does pregnancy itself increase risk of vaginal infection? Because this morning I was doing an "internal" check for spotting and it didn't smell so great. It kind of smelled like it could turn into BV at any time now...

kristine526 · October 2013

I'm tired of my vag leaking.

Not sure about BV but pregnant women are more prone to yeast infections.

I'm also jealous of you ladies having all of the good sexy times. I find the uterine contractions really uncomfortable and they give me anxiety, plus my boobs really hurt so no sexy time for us even though I've been starting to want it more lately.

czarmom · October 2013

I must agree with the sex. The O's are off the charts!

Amen! It's kind of a cruel joke that right before your period & during pregnancy your vag decides to do this, causing unnecessary trips to the bathroom to check.

MunchkinMoon · October 2013

I know! The discharge has gone up like a _____ (insert expletive of choice here). I am constantly wiping like crazy, terrified of seeing blood or spotting soon (because I could swear it feels like my period is coming- even at 8 weeks)!

My husband says we've gone through more toilet paper this month (from frequent urination and my compulsive wiping to rid myself of discharge) than we normally do in 2. So much so that he's going to start forcing me to just "air dry" or learn the "Shake" maneuver. Ha. Freaking. Ha.

gurleymomma · October 2013

Ha ha your post made me laugh so hard.that sounds like something my husband would say.men wow just wow.
