Anal is becoming more darker and dark scratches are on my butt HELP!!!!

KenyaLA · May 2015

Hey mommys
I am 32 weeks 4 days pregnant with my first child & my husband & I have been noticing my anal area get super dark & dark scratches are there, was wondering if this is normal and what I can do to clear all this away? I've never had this before.

JoJo1111 · May 2015

It is normal for your vulva, perineum and area around the anus to darken near the end of pregnancy. The dark scratches are most likely strech marks due to the increase of adipose tissue being stored on your hips and buttoks as your body prepares to feed a hungry baby. Take a deep breath, it will all be okay.

Mommaswizz · May 2015

The real question here is how are either of you getting a good look at your anus? Seriously, I'm curious

btm013 · May 2015

I am passing no judgment on people's sexy time adventures but my husband has never had a good look at my anus...ever. I would feel more comfortable having my doctor look back there and confirm any problems than my husband at this point.

Frogger5 · May 2015

*giggle*

Doesn't sound too serious so I don't feel too bad! GL, OP - it will all be OK.

What she said. And to add my 2 cents in light of PP's judgey remarks: I think it's pretty darn smart and cool that you and the hubbs are paying attention to changes in these areas. I mean, none of us are 5-years-old and we're all about to have a whole slew of medical personnel strangers become very familiar with the color(s) of our vaginas, perineums and anuses, so we may as well know what they'll be looking at!

OK, but it's not like this is a serious health question. I mean, I know OP is seriously asking, but it's not like a dangerous situation or anything. @JoJo1111 gave a solid answer, and the title is funny. No harm done.

Mommaswizz · May 2015

I wasn't being judgey. To each their own. But seriously, short of my DH bending me over and spreading my cheeks, I'm unsure how he'd get a good look. And furthermore, it's true, many medical personnel will become all too familiar with these area very soon but if I had a legit concern, I'd have them get familiar with it now and not discuss the color of my anus with strangers. But again, that's just me.

Emilywooddesign · May 2015

I just think the word anus is funny!!

If your husband hasn't seen your asshole I'm not sure what kind of sex life you have?? Doggy style pretty much exposes your entire butt hole so let's not be prudes-we are alllll knocked up

MJMum524 · May 2015

It's ok, you can bleach your anus when this is all over.

jesscmv · May 2015

This might be TMI but I made my husband check out a hemroid lol. That's what our relationship has come to!

But the title of this post did make me giggle and wonder if it was real just like pp.

my hubby keeps offering to shave the downstairs for me. its sweet but im doing pretty well just using touch. ive had him check out a spot that was bleeding down there recently though :P

ill be honest, i laughed at the title too. just cause i have an overactive imagination and only read "anal is becoming darker"

im sorry though OP, no idea what to tell you.

dancegurl1118 · May 2015

I don't know what my anus looks like on a good day let alone enough to know what any change would look like.

KenyaLA · May 2015

My husband and I are very open with each other, & if he is going to see my virgina open when his first daughter comes out why the hell not see everything else, he also shaves my lady part because I can't see or reach anymore and if yall dont have that kind of relationship with your partner then maybe something is wrong with yall. Im a first time mother so I'm not used to seeing my body change dramatically! So thank yall for your kind comments but this isn't a laughing matter to me!

I don't think there is anything wrong with a relationship where women do not have men shave their pubic hair for them or check out their butts for discoloration... That's what spa and medical professionals are for. It's really hard to get support when you are mocking a bunch of women. And your thread title was a little crazy and confusing so I am sure it primed people to post a certain way.

Mommaswizz · May 2015

Well you've cleared up that this is no laughing matter. I take back my comments about your "anal" and your "Virginia". My bad.

sideboth · May 2015

I'm very glad that you all are married to men who don't force you to look at their butthole because they SWEAR they are dying of anal cancer when in reality they have a zit on their asscrack.

If I demand my DH look at my ass, he is looking!! That man owes me!

ElRuby · May 2015

This is like the cat thread all over again....

MrsWiggleWaggle · May 2015

Hahaha. Once my DH had to inspect my florida and help me remove an ingrown hair! It hurt like a b***! He's pretty squeamish about my alabama though which means our sex life has died since My bump got too big for most positions. Im sure that he would not hesitate to make me inspect HIS Alabama if he thought he had cancer. Poor @sideboth I feel for you and I hope when you saw that zit you popped it for him in the most painful way possible! That is hilarious.

)

OP my lady bits and my nipples have gotte. Darker so I guess I wouldn't be surprised if anything else did. If it were me I wouldn't worry unless I also had some other weird related condition come up with it. Like blood or rash.

lkr004 · May 2015

There are are no sufficient words to describe this thread and comments... I think a quote from George Takei will work. "Ohhhh myyyyy,..."

Oh my gosh! There are tears pouring down my face. If you have a weird poop, do you call him in to look at it? Actually, might as well, he's probably going to see that on the big day if he's going to be watching your Virginia open up! There are such things as privacy and boundaries that I believe strongly enhance intimacy, not signal a problem in a relationship.

@MrsWiggleWaggle, I mostly blame you for the tears.

) indeed!

kherman14 · May 2015

It was kinda funny other day my hubby mentioned to me...my butt has changed. I go...ughhh yeah I'm not exercising like I used to...then he said noooo...its more hairy and darker. I gulped and go really?! I wasn't sure what to think...but blur out hopefully my hormones isn't causing me to turn into hairy woman! Thank god there is someone asking about it! ☺

Chillax, OP, the giggles and laughter are for the subject matter, tho the way it was worded did play a part, too. Its great you have that kind of relationship with your man, but not everybody does. That doesn't mean that anything is 'wrong' with us, tho. Nobody came out and said that you were wrong for having your husband look, most just said they wouldn't have done it, and had some laughs at the logistics, the discomfort, etc. So for you to say that something is wrong with all the other ladies is a bit far, wouldn't you say?

FWIW, I would not have my hubs check the coloration of my butthole. I know he's seen it during sexy time, and will see it during birth, etc, but I'd see a Dr for that if I had a concern. Best of luck to you

And, for lastlies - to me this whole conversation felt like a girls' sleepover conversation, with subject matter a little risqué and some fun jabs at the girls brave enough to bring it up. And, considering only friends have sleepovers, next time maybe try to take the giggly comments in that frame of mind, OK?

ETA - one suggestion. Spellcheck. It's everybody's friend

katyertl · May 2015

Oh lord I haven't seen or heard anything from my hubby about my butthole but you be damned sure I won't be taken it from behind anymore with the lights on. Eek lol. Sex is already uncomfortable and awkward for me with this growing bump

Frogger5 · May 2015

@mellymar - I hate to disagree with you, but I find this hilarious exclusively for the wording - the subject matter, at least initially, wasn't all that funny. The "HELP!!!!" (four exclamation points!), the "anal" instead of "anus," the "more darker" - and that's just in the title! Then, the phrasing of the part where OP describes that they've been noticing her anal area get super dark - brings an image to mind that they've been standing around observing the change in real time!

Also, I have a hard time imagining what she thought could possibly be wrong that would in any way be serious, so I thoroughly enjoyed this post and welcome more along the same lines. We need more variety!

MaliKaela · May 2015

Best thread ever. Lol. If I had to pick i'd probably prefer my husband checking that shit out than a medical professional. Maybe because he is a medical professional... idk. I don't really have a choice about the upcoming privacy violation though. But ya, the way the sex life has been lately coupled with my inability to see anything down there means I wouldn't notice a darker anus and scratches/ stretch marks on my butt. Probably best left unseen IMO.

Mommaswizz · May 2015

Well said @frogger5 I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciates the masterpiece that the original post truly is

devyns2nd · May 2015

Ok so I definitely have an open "anal" relationship (hehe) with DH and I still laughed at this! It's just not your everyday topic and TBH not everyone is comfortable with their husbands seeing their ass end! I'm ok with it but I'd never tell my friends that. It's not the norm. it's definitely a flammable subject.

I have to confess though, I'm probably going to check out my rear now!!

KaLikeAWind · May 2015

@Frogger5 I think it was more the subject matter along with the typographical errors that made it humorous. That's why I suggested spell check. But I'm not gonna lie, I was laughing my booty off reading every single item in this thread. However, it really did feel 'sleep-over-ey' to me, lots of poking fun at the person who had the balls to bring it up but messed up in the delivery and is now getting poked fun at for that, too. I could very much imagine a lot of my friends getting on my case for messing up my vocabulary while talking about my butt, and that's what i was trying to impart to the OP.

At least, it felt sleep-over-ey until she told us there was something wrong with us. Being told there is something wrong with you does tend to change the tone of a conversation (and now my brain is going off ... Skin tone? Color tone? Butt tone? Oh no...)

I put some small amount of effort into this post . . . just had to qfp.

KaLikeAWind · May 2015

Also, I should add that I'm sure all of you would get on me the same should I have posted something similar, and y'all 'know' me. Hence the whole friendly sleepover feel. See where I'm trying to go with this?

ETA i wouldnt have said there was something wrong with you, tho

Oh, definitely to the sleep-over aspect! I at least am laughing completely not in a mean-spirited way. Just saying, if she'd said, "hey guys, any one notice the tissues around their anus darkening? Just hoping I'm not alone!" it just wouldn't have struck a nerve.

Mommaswizz · May 2015

Lol @mellymar is right, there is sometimes a tendency to bust people's chops about ridiculous posts and it is mostly done in good fun. Once the "there's something wrong with y'all" starts, things get messy. That said, no regrets. I'm going to bed giggling tonight hahaha night ladies

You are for sure about that

CateOfChicago · May 2015

This thread is seriously funny and not making me sleepy, which is what I was going for.

My DH may or may not know the color of my anus. I don't know because we've never discussed it. I may have to ask if he could pick me out of a lineup. I certainly do not know the color. You must be very bendy.

Serenamarr · May 2015

I showed my hubs the post title and he gets a horrified look on his face and says "They're doing anal while she's pregnant? And why is he scratching her?? That doesn't sound safe."

I've been laughing at this thread all night- not at OP, mostly at the range of responses. But a little at the last line of the original post of how to "clear this all away" and the blunt suggestion of anal bleaching

)

klkonwi · May 2015

I also told my DH about this thread...... We laughed a lot because he said exactly what the first response was.. ." How does she know it's darker?!" Then he said ," is yours darker? Have you looked?" And I told him unless he's buying me a hand held mirror there's no way I could look. Also it sparked the whole bleaching convo and he was amazed that ppl bleach their armpits and anus. Amazing topic for right before bed! Lol

Sammy K · May 2015

Oh, thank you! This thread has made my day. Although I didn't have a work-appropriate answer when my cube mate asked why I was laughing.
