ooo ooo.....I have one!

I was wondering about this the other day, and I am sure Google would tell me.....but will my nipples for sure get darker ? I am a pale skin, and mine are pink, obviously....but, I always heard that they will get darker in color being pregnant. Does that happen for sure, for everyone ? Or is it going to be maybe, maybe not ?

I don't want my pinkies to turn to brownies!

Mine are already huge. I swear, they are fucking dinner plates.

And your vagina lips could possibly get pinker and/or a purplish color. This is due to mega increase blood flow.

I am super pale with pink nips, and mine got darker and bigger, but they didn't turn brown. They were just a darker pink.

Before I got my BFP, I was so swollen down there. And the first time DH and I had sex post-BFP it HURT. I'm guessing both is due to extra blood flow?

Yep, and sometimes the actual lips can get a little swollen due to the blood flow and that can cause a little pain.

The vagina will go back to normal though

do your Kegels girls!!!

It only hurt that one time, luckily! (for DH, not me. I'm very "meh" about the sex right now).

lisaren · April 2014

To help me with sex right now I use lots of lube and a vibe.

mander82 · April 2014

ha ha....omg guys.... @missnacholover dinner plates?

ha ha!

I think mine are a little bigger, but no darker in color yet, thats why I was wondering if maybe I might get out of that one.

As for the swollen nether region....sounds like another reason to rock a big ole 70's bush! (aside from me not being able to see it to trim it reason) I have to say I have been enjoying the extra blood flow down there during sexy time. DAMN ! ha ha ha !!!

I am half Italian so I have brown nipples to begin with (not suggesting that yours will get that way though,

). My first pregnancy they got darker right off the bat, and stayed that way. This time around they are not darkening as quickly, but DH is completely fascinated. We were in the shower the other day (yes we shower together) and he grabs them (gently), grins at them and says, "wow honey, these are the darkest I've ever been with." For the record, my hubby was a bit of a man whore in his younger years and I tease him mercilessly about this because I knew him through a good portion of it, and I find in hilarious. Usually, he never references this escapades unless I do first. I just rolled my eyes and laughed. Yes, we are twisted...

ZAFrisbie · April 2014

So happy to hear about others experiencing extra sensitivity from blood flow down there. It's been making me feel very uncomfortable and with the addition of new hormones, my sex drive is 0. Hoping the slight pain will go away soon and help with my drive. Poor DH!

FirstBabyDoyle · April 2014

Cheers to the 70's bushes and saucer sized nips... Ahh the joys of pregnancy

herlysgirly · April 2014

Haha you guys reminded me of a term I learned on my last bmb: FUPA.
Seriously. It's a thing!

smboswell1 · April 2014

Is it normal to grow hair in strange places?! I have peach fuz on my boobs and belly... So weird! Also covered in acne. Eh

Yes, totally normal!

amberDey · April 2014

Okay here is my question... When cloth diapering how do you clean a poppy diaper?

Celticlass6 · April 2014

@amberDey..I've been wondering the same thing! I don't want poop in my washer!

herlysgirly · April 2014

EBF newborn poopy diapers, throw in the wash. Done.

Formula fed and/or solids eating baby poop: I use a diapers prayer that attached to the toilet. Then wash in machine as normal.

amberDey · April 2014

@Celticlass6 my Google response had some spraying theirs out in the toilet but it didn't seem like everyone did that. I got the distinct feeling the some were just thrown in the wash... The "wet" bag also confuses me. Is it just for wet diapers or do you call it "wet" because you are soaking the diapers? No idea! Lol

Also, the cloth diapering board has a sticky post that has a bunch of helpful tips. They also refer you to a YouTube series on cloth diapers and I found it SUPER helpful!

only if they are eating solids, you just plop it in the toilet or spray it if it is soft.

The wet bag is for diapers that have been used. They have been peed in so they are in fact wet. You do not add water to the bag.

You have to get rid of most of the poo somehow or other. I use flushable liners, so we just toss the liner with poo into a plastic bag lined trash can by the changing table, then toss them in the toilet at the end of the day. Some people use a diaper sprayer to get the poo into the toilet, some people just plop it off of the diaper in the trash. It's okay for there to be a little poo on the diaper, it will wash out (think blow outs on onesies) but not a whole turd. Now that DS is bigger his poo is pretty solid, so easy to plop. Hahaha, hope that was helpful

amberDey · April 2014

So helpful! @pennyandandy & @momtojad thanks so much!

Yes, totally normal!

And unfortunately some of it might not all go away. I have a single black hair that grows on the bottom of my chin now. It showed up when I was pregnant with DS and it keeps coming back. I watch for it so I can pluck it as soon as it shows up. Sometimes it's back in a week, sometimes it's months later that it surfaces again.

If it is a breast-fed, non-solid eating baby, the poos will be liquidy and you can throw the diapers directly in the wash. If the baby is formula fed or once the baby has solids, the poos are more solid and you need to knock/spray/shake the solid poo into the toilet before washing. It's not that bad.

Maelara · April 2014

It's funny how your life becomes all about poo

I usually call my husband over and ask if DDs poo looks normal. It's now a normal convo in this house. Tali didn't poop today...

Celticlass6 · April 2014

I have now learned a lot more about poopy diapers then I was expecting today. Thanks ladies!

Feegan · April 2014

Does anyone else fear they might "leak" or just all out pee themselves if they orgasm? I have seriously been so nervous about this because I already had an overactive bladder to begin with and then after I found out I was pregnant, my RE told me no more overactive bladder meds. I've successfully managed two O's over the last couple of times we've gotten sexy, but seriously, I spend the whole time in fear this will happen.

amberDey · April 2014

@RedheadRunning I have NO idea if this is true... But I was told that you can't pee during sex. I was also told that the feeling that you are about to pee is how it feels if you are about to.... *cough* squirt. (I hate that term)

Feegan · April 2014

@amberDey thank you for the reassurance! Ha! I totally cringe at that word and will now live in fear of that happening instead. LOL!

It's also a G-spot orgasm when you feel like your going to pee.

RedBirdFly · April 2014

@RedheadRunning‌ and @amberDey‌ - you can actually leak during sex, if you have like a UTI or something. And also I squirt sometimes if on top and it is the most embarrassing thing that ever happens. I hate it and then DH is all wet and its just gross.

amberDey · April 2014

@RedBirdFly‌ good to know! Sqirting is often times DH's goal. So I can't be embarrassed when it happens. @RedheadRunning it usually happens after when something awesome just went down... So don't fear it. Lol awkward....

RedBirdFly · April 2014

@amberDey‌ Dude I got him in the eye once. It was awwwwful. But it usually happens because of things that feel really good.

ETA he thinks its completely awesome.

Feegan · April 2014

@amberDey @RedBirdFly @Maelera Thank you ladies for making my day far more entertaining by humoring my question. Seriously, I am dying laughing over here. Apparently I will just embrace this feeling and see what happens...

lisaren · April 2014

Oh you can pee during sex. Don't ask how I know
