Grossest part of motherhood so far?

shevaCC · September 2014

What's the grossest thing that's happened to you so far as a mom? Any good stories?

shevaCC · September 2014

I'll go with spit up down my cleavage as the grossest thing so far. I don't normally even HAVE cleavage when not BFing.

I haven't had too much. So far he has thrown up once but it was while he was in his crib and he's pooped as I was changing his diaper. It just kept rolling out even though I waited to change it because I wanted to be sure he was done. That's happened to me twice so far.

I was changing LO's diaper in the pnp changing station in my living room. I lifted up his legs to wipe him and he projectile pooped all over the front of me and onto the carpet. Bright yellow baby poop does not come out easily. We had to borrow BIL's carpet cleaner.

Just spitting up a lot. She also pees during diaper changes but nothing seriously gross.

cdseno · September 2014

As I was reading this my LO spit up all over while still attached to the boob. And then continued to eat more.

jendem8 · September 2014

I've been pooped on, peed on, and puked on more times than I thought possible.... projectile poop all over my pants while trying to take her temperature was probably the best. But I agree that getting puke down your clothes is pretty gross. There was one time that I must have overfed/jostled her too much once because she seemed to puke up every ounce she just ate, and it went down my back, front, and was even in my flip flops (we were outside - thank god).

And this isn't extremely gross but catches me off guard. My LO is a very sloppy eater, and I have a pretty strong letdown. Lets just say that I have been squirted in the face with my own breast milk on several occasions.

Edit - spelling.

I have cleaned vomit outta my kid's ear and poop outta her belly button. I have no idea how this stuff happens!

I went to the bank where a lady told me I spilled mustard on my pants. I looked down to see it was actually a large amount of baby poop all down the front of my pants. Then I got excited because he had high bilirubin levels and pooping is what flushes it out, so it's worth getting excited over.

My son was never very spitty but this one time he had bronchiolitis (phlegm in ungodly amounts), and was nursing like crazy for comfort. Then he projectile vomited curdled milk and "sick" smelling mucus (you know the smell! Like sinus infection) all over me, him, the glider, his nursery area rug... It got in his ear! It was so nasty and So much, I sat there at first like "how do I even start to get up?"

I've had this for sure...though I'm thinking that I prefer it to the spitup on the shoulders. Even with a burp cloth there DD tends to pull her body to the side and miss the cloth. Or she gets enough force to go down the back. At least down the cleavage is usually easier to clean up. ;-)

I think our grossest was two different diaper blowouts up the back. It gets all over her clothes and when they have to come off over the head it's nearly impossible not to get her all poopy too. Any tips or tricks for not getting poop all over baby removing clothes?

Last time my husband said, "Next time just cut it off her." (All of our clothes were hand me downs from friends and we have way more than we need...so he was actually saying that seriously.)

IvyMagic828 · September 2014

@ShevaCC - same happened to me the other day, yuck!

There have also been poopsplosions during diaper changes but mainly just on the changing pad, so not too bad.

I'm sure the grossest stuff is yet to come...

tamarar5 · September 2014

@SherryBaby2014‌ I actually have cut off one baby outfit before. We usually cloth so I don't get crazy blue outs, but DD1 was on medications and had awful rash so she was in paper diapers. The meds gave her diarrhea like you would not believe. She blew out of her diaper all the way to get chin and up her back to her ears! It was gross.

Projectile poop.

rockyrollgirl · September 2014

The sharts during a diaper change that get on your arm, the changing pad and the wall.

Poopsplosions that leak onto your lap. Poopsplosions that go all the way up their back. Pooping in the tub. Playing with their poop. Did I mention...POOP. POOP everywhere!

Being peed on during a weigh in at the pediatrician. Then smelling like pee all the way home.

Drool in your mouth when holding them above you playfully.

Epic spit ups that soak your clothes and the couch.

rockyrollgirl · September 2014

Oh and I have caught my toddler drinking out of the dog bowl.

tamarar5 · September 2014

Smelling sour milk everywhere, changing baby, giving baby a bath, repeating birth steps numerous times until you realize that it's actually YOU that smells like sour milk.

MC03 · September 2014

Being constantly covered in spit up. The other day we went to the mall. When we got home DH smiled and said "I love it. You're such a mommy right now." I asked him what he meant. He said I had spit up all down the back of my shirt but he didn't want to tell me while we were out because there was nothing I could do about it. Awesome.

raquelynn714 · September 2014

One night I was pumping and I heard my DH scream, "help!" After unhooking, I found him petrified in the funniest position. He was sitting on the couch with arms stretched out holding LO at a foots distance ... Snotty spit up on his shirt, shorts, and couch. He was scared to move and his eyes were wide, pleading for help. I started to laugh until DH began to dry heave. DH made it to the bathroom before vomiting thanks to my speedy spit up clean up skills.

ungraceful13 · September 2014

Being projectile spit up on in the middle of the night twice is probably the grossest so far.

marathonmommy82 · September 2014

Pediatric. Glycerin. Suppositories.

rstarrlemaitre · September 2014

It's not that I've been golden showered.... It's that I've stopped bothering to change my clothes if he only gets me a little wet

caybeh · September 2014

With DD, so far just spit up down my shirt and all over. The grossest thing ever in my 2 years of motherhood...puke. DS puked in his sleep in the pack and play at ILs last year for Christmas. I was 8 weeks pregnant with DD. Thankfully, DH cleaned up the pack and play and I took DS. Ick.

bcbuzzafsu · September 2014

It's not what they do, but what I do. During a diaper change DD started to poop yet again and I reached under her butt to catch it because it is easier to just wash my hands than to change the changing table cover. Also, first instinct is to catch the vomit for the same reasons, I wash easier than the couch or the kid (DS).

midwestFNP · September 2014

Baby girl projectile pooped-it hit the wall, the door, the carpet etc. Before I could even finish cleaning her up my dog came in and started eating it!! Gag!

ETA words are hard

Weezy2012 · September 2014

I've been spit and/or peed on everyday but today was official the grossest (and this includes the time I changed DS' diaper and he wouldn't stop pooping for 10 minutes)

Went to change DS' Jammies and, you guessed it, poop all up in the leg parts. On the legs, feet, between the toes.....everywhere!

sharkmama39 · September 2014

Spit up in my hair and the bowl full of jelly by belly has turned into :-(

tracey007 · September 2014

I am a STM, but had never experienced projectile poop until this little guy. Shocking. With dd, the grossest thing has been her throwing up on me (real puke, she was 2), right as I was hugging her goodbye leaving for work. I just sat there and took it because I didn't want to make a bigger mess. I carried us both to the bath and called a sub-I decided after that I deserved a day off!

Rosebean · September 2014

I think it's a toss up between my toddler pulling poop out of his diaper and her sharting about a good 8" away from her butt onto my hand. It startled me more than anything
