Crap!

Weekly poop stories!

I have been reminded that good sex means I poop the next day. Given that I am finally feeling in the mood, DH may be getting laid for my own, selfish, poop reasons, lol! I'm such a romantic.

Two odd things I've noticed: 1, it's getting messier when I wipe...I have to use more TP. It's odd and gross. Anyone else? 2, Charlie oftens move around a bit after I'm done. Not sure if he's enjoying the extra space I've given him or reacting to the muscle movements. Strange child.

I finally had the best poop yesterday and it was while I was at work. So I got paid to have the best poop in weeks.

Yasm33na · January 2014

God we've been having this weekly poop thread for ages now, and I still giggle like a 5 year old to listen to you guys describe your BMs! lol

hjl050308 · January 2014

I haven't really noticed a change in the consistency or if it takes more or less to wipe. But, he definitely moves when I'm done. I'm thinking it's because I've been so constipated he's happy to finally have more room and enjoys it while it lasts!

lest12 · January 2014

I have definitely had the same problem, @Lilygrace48, but it started right after I started taking an extra iron supplement.

Which I found very weird, because I was expecting to be more constipated with the extra iron.

The female body really is a wondrous thing.

I can't take iron because it gives me the runs wwicked bad. Last time when I got anemic they had me take two tbs. of blackstrap molasses everyday. Worked like a charm.

LilyGracesMommy · January 2014

I'm pretty sure I already have hemorrhoids... boo

And when going I tend to have to mentally "pep" myself up, as in " if you can't even take a shit, how are you going to be pushing a baby out in 20wks?!??"

jckeown89 · January 2014

Ugh, poop. Previous to pregnancy I normally only pooped every few days. Now it is every day and it is either explosive or I feel like I should be giving birth. Grrrrr...

This might explain why I pooped this morning. I've never payed much attention it it but now I'm curious if there is a correlation

Really? That is so weird.

Anyone who I mentioned the anemia/extra iron supplements too immediately said "Oh, you're going to be sick to your stomach and constipated for the rest of your life." So I wasn't expecting this at all.

Also, thanks to all the women IRL who gave me that unsolicited heads up. So annoying.

britleann26 · January 2014

After reading these for a few weeks I thought I was lucky to not have had a problem with constipation AT ALL this pregnancy ...

Monday (at work) I had to go. Well I was constipated. I thought to myself "This is what you get for counting yourself lucky". I knew I was in there for a while but I HAD to go. I was in the stall sitting there for so long the bathroom sensor light TURNED OFF!!! Sitting in the dark I started waving my hands frantically and the light was still off. I had to wobble out of the stall (with my pants halfway up) to signal the dang light to turn back on. I was so embarrassed I wiped and walked out. Drank 10 or so glasses of water and went back when it was more of a "pressing matter".

Cautionary tale about cottonelle - DH used to use them, and after a year in our new house, we had a massive backup, shit water sponateously started leaking all over the floor in our basement. Turns out they don't really flush that well, and there was a years worth of wipes in our system!

Yikes! Are you on city sewer or do you have a septic tank? We have been using these for years with city sewer - now I wonder if a shit storm is a brewin'!

Sareynoo · January 2014

I'm pooping right now. Same time every day, kind of nice!

babygabe614 · January 2014

Ugh, I was doing so well for a few weeks... until today. I think I am traumatized from the 90+ minutes I spent in near tears this morning. Ugh.

Yeah, the constipation just came back with a vengeance and I paid the price today. Without getting too graphic, I almost thought I would have to go to the hospital after but things seem to be getting better now that I've had some time to rest and I've been sitting on a pillow.

I wish someone had warned me that I would have such horrible bathroom experiences that I need a mental break and maybe some therapy afterwards, lol. It seems so silly but days like today are a total nightmare.

so sorry babe! rough days can really take it out of you. I had a really bad day like that several weeks ago now, I was straining ( I know TMI) and then noticed some pink on the paper and had some spotting, I totally freaked out especially since that is how my miscarriage in July started. It so hard to stay calm I feel you, you are not alone. Just take it easy. At this stage its probably nothing and you just need to rest and relax. Try Metamucil maybe, I have used the orange stir in fibre stuff, its nasty but I find it does help a bit. I will also load up on strawberries, they always help clear things out, that or Mcdonalds anything lol, but not as good for you. Good luck

Ugh how scary for you! I definitely need to try Metamucil or something. I take stool softeners daily and it works for a while, but then a day like today happens and you'd think I never took them. Thanks for the advice!!

This reminds me, anyone heard of Poo Pourri? It's quite amazing.

Kinipela7 · January 2014

I love this thread - I swear everytime I read it, it makes me actually have to go! Can't wait to go home and have a nice poop!

jshrop · January 2014

WILL I EVER POOP NORMALLY AGAIN???????

cristykaye · January 2014

Can I just say that in this moment nothing feels better than a good poo!!!

coffee89 · January 2014

I have been going an average of three times a day for 2 or 3 weeks. I finally decided it's either the iron or glycerin in my vitamins and switched. Last night was my first night on the new vitamins and omg, this morning was one solid, not eventful poo. I was so happy.

What kind of vitamins are you using now? I've been thinking about switching mine since I'm almost out of my current ones (also because doctor also told me to make sure to be taking one with DHA when I'm in the 3rd trimester to help baby's eye development).

I long for regular, easy poo...

katekat8721 · January 2014

I will admit, I secretly used to laugh in my head at you girls and your love of the "squatty potty". Even the name made me giggle. But after a few rough days, I made a makeshift squatty potty out of an overturned laundry hamper and HOLY CRAP. It totally worked! The world should know!!

nflan16 · January 2014

Lately I've been dealing with either being completely backed up or running to make it to a toilet on time. There's no happy medium. I had to leave my class unsupervised so I could sprint to the bathroom the other day. It was horrible. I hate going at work because the only staff bathroom on my floor is a single stall shared by about 25 teachers on a busy hallway surrounded by classrooms and offices. Luckily, I found out that if you put a few drops of lavender oil in the toilet before or after you go, it makes the bathroom smell good when you flush! I still hate to go at work though..

CrysW08 · January 2014

Mine's been messier too.. And HUGE. One night I swear it was a foot long and it clogged the toilet. It was a natural wonder to behold, haha.

So it really works? I've been thinking about buying some for a while.
