@twolittledogs - I somehow missed this! I spilled my cup of pee somewhere around my 24 week appointment. And I couldn't physically pee any more so I soaked some up with a paper towel and wrung it out in the cup. I was shocked that they said my urine was "clean"... maybe they should check a little closer??
I mentioned this in the "this board needs" thread, but I am peeing myself every 30 min!! So much that I need to wear a "real" pad not just a liner :-S I have a cold, and every time I cough or sneeze I can't help but fill that sucker up! I'm so over this and it's more annoying then anything, thank god I have a pretty good supply from before I got pregnant..... But this is just gross and again, I'm so over it! Let's hope my bladder doesn't stay like this [-O<
@anna930 It's so frustrating! I've been drinking coffee, having cheese (I'm lactose intolerant) and taking colace!!! I thinik I may need to take milk of magnesia next. SIGH!

Try a dose of Miralax in hot apple cider. Something about the combo works wonders for me.
I finally passed some discharge at the OB yesterday and since it's been a slight yellow/lt green this entire pregnancy, wanted it tested. My STD test, bacterial tests & yeast infection checks have come back neg and my OB didn't see too worried although she remembered it was the same last time. well I peeled it off the liner into a pee cup thinking they could put it in a tube right? Nope, the OB has to swab me directly from the source and I was more embarassed about the state of my bush than the fact I have discharge in a cup on the counter.
at this point, I just want to know what's making it this color all the time lol
I've been fighting a nasty cold for over a week now, and the amount of pee that has come out of me has seriously got me questioning if my water broke a time or two! Kidding, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't at least cross my mind. Yup, the for-real pads have been broken out here, and I've washed my sheets more times in the past week than I probably have in the past 6 months. Lol.

Yes!!! This! I almost call my dr thinking my water broke, especially since I just Peed 30 seconds before it happened!!!
For all the pebble poopers, I have a solution that was recommended to me for something else but totally works for the poo. I had been having some uterine cramping so my midwife recommended I take something called Natural Calm, it is a powder magnesium you add to your water. Tastes like strawberry lemonade and it has totally helped with my cramping. It also helps the pebble poops and constipation. The directions say to do 1/2 a tbsp. a day until "bowels are comfortably loose" and trust me, they are comfortably loose. Might be worth a try if its okay with your ob or midwife!
My bladder never empties fully no matter how much I lean forward to get it all out. I swear, I get leakage down my leg after 75% of my pees. I've had to smell it on numerous occasions and it's most definitely urine, but gross!!!
I am at the point in my pregnancy where I am having cleansing movements (STM's may know the statement well- the loose poops you start having as you get closer to labor) :-( after every meal or just b/c multiple times a day for 4 days now. Its so fun.
I just looked at my vag in the mirror for the first time in a long time. It's a lot fatter than I remember. I have to get myself credit for blind shaving though, I've been doing a pretty good job.
Also, really glad I'm not the only one that doesn't poop for a week and then has a bowl filling event of it.
I had my 30 week dr appointment today and took the cup for the urine sample to the bathroom...sat down and peed with the cup just sitting in my hand. I completely forgot to provide the sample. So when I remembered I concentrated very, very hard and was able to squeeze out a little bit into the cup...and then promptly dropped the cup into the toilet.

Guys guys!!! After having creamy seafood chowder for lunch and drinking water like a madwoman I had a BM!!!! It was so hard that it almost didnt go down the toilet. I was getting really concerned lolol
I had the same thought a few nights ago. How could so much pee "slip out" like that. Had me double guessing my self, did my water break or did I just pee on myself that much. Coughing and sneezing while pregnant sucks. Been wearing a thicker liner for a week and feeling disgusted with myself. Luckily it seemed to have let up, still rocking the liner until the cough is completely gone!

@abcmom12 - I had this done at my last appointment b/c I couldn't figure out if I was leaking fluid or if it was discharge. To make you feel better... I apologized to my MW for the state of my nether regions. She said, and I quote, "I would much rather see pubic hair, than red, bumpy razor burn." I have a feeling that most medical professionals feel that way. Just thought I'd share.
Ah yes, the fat vag. And here, I always thought mine was on the pretty side. Ha! After my last c section, my vag was tripled in size. For days. You can retain water in places you never quite imagined!!

LOL story of my life! I usually clog the toilet everytime I go but once it just wouldn't unclog. I thought I would had to call a plumber! Man did I sweat trying to get that shit unclogged! Took me 20 minutes! :-S
I just took the biggest poop of my life. I was in the community bathroom at work that requires a key and was in there for like 15 minutes. I have no shame that everyone knew what I was doing. It was a double flusher and I felt like a poop marker. As soon as I was done the baby went crazy, I guess it was taking up his space.
D14 November Siggy Challenge: The feels of 3rd trimester...
i clogged the toilet at my ob's office. i was the first appointment of the day. i was also sitting in the waiting room when the second appointment of the day announced that the only office bathroom was, in fact, clogged. (i didn't know it was at the time).
I feel like have to poop all.the.time. Mind you, I'm a frequent pooper while pregnant it seems, but I always feel like I have to poop, even if I just did and think I'm fairly well cleaned out.
I can't stop peeing, I get up go to the loo, get back to the couch sit then need to go again! And it's a desperate need to go again and again! It's driving me insane!
This is me... all... the... time...
I've actually thought once or twice 2 buy some depends for nighttime. It takes me 4ever 2 fall asleep....and when I do I'm up every 30 minutes! (just had my third thought for team depends!) lbvs
I pissed myself when I sneezed this morning. I knew it would happen eventually, but this was the first time. I said "damn it" loudly, and MH asked me "what?" and I told him I peed myself. Then he said "it finally happened!" (I had warned him it would, hahah)

I get bloody noses every day. Not gushers just enough to make my snot red when I blow my nose. I feel bad for all you girls that can't poop. I have been pretty regular but I eat a lot of beans, fruit, veggies, and yogurt. I also drink the recommended amount of water.
I poop like 2-3x a day. Giant poops too. I do have fat vag. DH teases me about camel toe when I wear yoga pants. (like everyday) I think he is being dramatic.
I'm really furry. My arms, upper lip, belly, legs, eyebrows, down below. All of it...it's getting hard to maintain. Im a giant pregnant chewbacca.

Yep ever since my last child I do not poop regular no matter what- IDK? It's been 10 years almost... but that last few weeks I have been regular- such a glorious thing- no clogged toilet or anything!! Hope it continues throughout the pregnancy!!
I agree with the butt sweat/swamp ass. At my OB appointment yesterday I stuck to the paper (she did a cervix check). My boyfriend laughed at me as I pried it off in pieces. :-P
