I mean, you really can't see how sharing about your smelly vag, discharge, your vibrator, AND a sharting experience all in one week is a little too much? Yeah, pregnancy is gross and I'm sure eventually a lot of us will be sharing yucky/TMI things with the board because who else are you going to tell? But we're all JUST getting to know each other right now and you just aren't painting a pretty picture.
Smelly vag/discharge, one in the same. Pregnancy related, combined with heightened sense on smell. Both pregnancy symptoms.
Vibrator was originally referenced because I was horny but sex was uncomfortable so we couldn't have it, and then found out it helped get rid of the lightning crotch for a few minutes after.
Both of which were in the "you know you're pregnant when thread" so yeah, not oversharing. On topic and potentially relatable.
It isn't my fault that thread and my shart happened in the same week.

My stomach is just so queasy. When I clicked on this post earlier it made it 10x worse.
And I see that now, and respect that and is why I edited my title with a heads up. I saw it as vague, definitely not detailed, with a funny gif so I didn't think it would bother anyone on that level and I am sorry about that, it sucks when something unexpectedly rocks your stomach more than it already is.

Just because it's on topic doesn't mean it isn't also oversharing. Obviously it's subjective and it's your body so you can choose to share what you want, where you want. I'm just trying to explain why it's oversharing to other people.
Well that's just revolting but what happens when you assume. The two have nothing to do with eachother, it's a vibrator not a dildo for one, and strong smelling or just different smelling discharge is totally normal in pregnancy. Why else would I have put that in a "you know you're pregnant when" thread?
I said vibrator, and they still need to be cleaned just as a dildo, so I'm not sure what your point is.
I know what you said... and yes, they do. A dildo and smelly vag would just paint that disgusting thought in my head sooner than a vibrator would. That's why I said dildo.
Ah. I guess I can see that a dildo would draw that conclusion more- but I think it was the fact that you used it repeatedly in a row mixed with the smelly vag that made me queasy.
Eta: the point is- there just seems to be a lot. Sounds like some people find it entertaining or validating but some of us don't. Maybe add a disclaimer to your posts or something as po have suggested.

And to others it isn't, it's either funny or relatable or both. That's what I'm aiming at, not to purposely disgust people. I'm not an inconsiderate jerk. A lot of things throughout pregnancy, birth and PP made me feel disgusted at myself and ashamed and alone, like an oddity. It wasn't until months or even a year+ later I found out I hadn't been and had no reason to feel those ways. If I can save one person from those feelings, I will in a heartbeat. If that means oversharing in some people's eyes, so be it. Some people are more reserved, I used to be. I wish someone out there hadn't been.
Eta: and I think that is a fair reason to not want to or feel the need to put a polite cap on my experiences or personality.

@C3Duffy -that definitely makes sense. I can see how it would be comforting to hear what's normal, warts and all. (Although hopefully not actually warts). And clearly based on your love tits, some people are finding comfort or humor in it. I'm also sick of the freaking hundreds of nausea threads! I think it would be helpful if you could just add {tmi} to your new threads or something for a while until we know each other better/until a lot of us escape the nausea. That way, within the thread or even post, we know it's gonna be something brutally honest, and if we aren't up for it, we skip it, and if we are feeling like we might need some validation for an unpleasant situation Or a particular style of humor, we read on.

That's the plan stan. And I personally have never heard of pregnancy warts... that would suck... but who the heck knows, pregnancy is weird.

And I'm still laughing/vomitting over the smell/vibrator conclusion. I never would have put those two together.... that is really revolting and worrisome. Much apologies for that one, I should have put a "these are NOT related" disclaimer. Ew

I'm just going to throw out there that as a nurse, all these comments about people getting sick from reading the original post are making me chuckle. Welcome to our world, except live and in color.
When I was pregnant with my first I didn't shart myself, I straight up crapped my pants. I couldn't get my front door unlocked fast enough! I cried! It was awful! I hope not to do that again! Luckily I didn't with my second pregnancy, so I'm crossing my fingers on this one to!

I truly don't know how nurses do what they do. I never could.
Too funny! Lighten up ladies...this is where she should feel comfortable sharing this kind of stuff. Can't believe all the backlash over sharing a shart!

Try to imagine if you told this to a new friend irl, a queasy one at that. How well would this go over?

Just because it wasn't for you, in no way means it isn't or won't be for someone else.
