Let's talk about the nasties, shall we?

cowinapartyhat · February 2016

First off, congratulations!!!!

This discussion is for all the nasty, weird, disconcerting changes our bodies are currently going through. Will it be worth it? Absolutely. Is it freaking odd to go through it? Definitely.

I'll start. I am 6w2d pregnant and cannot orgasm without feeling awful cramps afterward.
Yet I am hornier than a rabbit.

Beside that, all of my panties lately have had this weird white discharge! It doesnt stink and is totally normal, but really baby? You nasty!

What's going on with you other mommies out there?

quailbeach · February 2016

My nipples itch like crazy! No changes as of yet down yonder.

MRSCORKER · February 2016

I keep feeling really moist (I HATE that word but it's the best description). I keep going to the bathroom, terrified, thinking I'm spotting but I'm not. It's very uncomfortable.

jeng100 · February 2016

Last night a new one started. It felt like someone was stabbing my straight through the middle of my nipple with a huge needle, or possibly a knife. Fun times.

sjo_thetwins · February 2016

I am on progesterone suppositories so it is always a nasty mess down there. I am also not horny in the least. And my boobs feel like they are going to just fall right off.

Also... constipation

(And I drink a TON of water!)

Tiffanih18 · February 2016

My nipples are so sore! The rest of my boob not so much but my nipples are taking the brunt of the pain right now.

MRSCORKER · February 2016

My boobs aren't sore and I kinda wish they were. I would feel reassured. I keep feeling myself up to check.

SnobunnieMel · February 2016

@MRSCORKER I probably look like a sex addict because I'm constantly looking like I'm performing a self breast exam to make sure they are still sore. And completely on board with the "feeling like I'm leaking" and constantly check for spotting.

I also feel myself up quite often to check and see if they are still sore. It ebbs and flows, it's just one tata right now.

wphillips0211 · February 2016

I catch myself touching my boobs all day to make sure they're still sore.. And just amazed at how big they are.

jlwickes · February 2016

My itchy boobs are the WORST. Add the soreness and it's not the greatest feeling in the world! Ugh.

Totally normal. I had this with my first, including the constant freakout. I have it this time and I know it's normal, just weird feeling.

coffee89 · February 2016

Most people get constipation when pregnant, I have to opposite. It's horrible.

And for you who do have constipation, get a squatty potty or a stool (like those ones for kinds at the sink) and put them feet up so your knees are at or above your hips. It helps.

krzyriver · February 2016

@cd92007 I've had horrible constipation too. I don't know what kind of prenatal vitamins you take, but I switched to a gummies (they don't have iron in them) and it REALLY helped. Within a couple days I was fine again.

@coffee89 I had the opposite my last pregnancy. Lol. I went like 5 times a day. And then I got a cold and was drinking WAY too much hot water with honey. Oh boy. That much honey made it so much worse.

purelex · February 2016

@jlwickes right there with you on the itchy boobs. I was thinking it was just dry skin from the weather at first and lotion has helped a bit.

Also agree on the white discharge... and I am on vaginal suppositories of progesterone, double whammy

ejmo68 · February 2016

Yea the discharge is for real!!! And totally freakywhen it kinda feels like you peed yourself slightly but not, which of course I know to look forward to later in pregnancy when baby is squishing the bladder.

Spartanrd4 · February 2016

Thank god I'm not the only one with the discharge! I feel like I need panty liners so I don't ruin all my undies....my boobs are still sore too and also keep touching them just to make sure. Glad I'm not the only weirdo!!

I'm 6w4d.

Michi1382 · February 2016

I have most the same as others. Sore boobs to the point where I'm like, "Don't touch me!" lol I'm also extra *moist* down there and I hate, hate, hate. Plus, I've been getting crazy diarreah at night and only at night. Annoying.

cbamama641 · February 2016

After a o face, I dry heave.. it's extremely romantic..

lmno304 · February 2016

My nipples are CONSTANTLY hard, haha. Not the areola, just my nipples!

sjo_thetwins · February 2016

New fangled UTI this morning! Woohoo! Makes for very uncomfortable constant pee'ing and does not help the cramps I have.

kmolleltz · February 2016

as terrible as this is, I'm glad I'm not the only one with diarrhea! It's miserable. Fingers crossed this is my first day without an episode in like 10 days...

emmaaa · February 2016

I kept seeing everyone saying they were constipated and I'm over here going to the bathroom multiple times a day.

Kaytee1087 · February 2016

I seem to be either constipated or diarrhea, but of course nothing normal.

And all the boob pain! I also keep feeling myself up, so I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one! I have to keep reminding myself not to do it at work though, lol. For better or worse we have some kind of cold/flu/plague running through the office so I get to use that excuse if I start feeling nauseous or something. Luckily I haven't actually caught whatever it is yet.

Also, 3 days after BFP, BAM yeast infection. I got a Monistat right away and it's just about gone now (5 days later) but it was still super annoying. And poor hubby, no gettin' busy for him until it's gone!

cowinapartyhat · February 2016

Lol! All the boob posts! Yes.
I've already grown a cup size and the other night hubby looked at me and said, "Mmmm, they are getting bigger."
What did my hormonal self do? I hissed at him and went upstairs to look at my boobs in the mirror!

PrimRoseMama · February 2016

Sex is incredibly uncomfortable for me already. Like I can do a ton of other stuff, but intercourse is just feeling all kinds of wrong. DH will live (we've been through this before) and he's not at all upset about it. I just was hoping this time around I could have sex an average amount instead of sparingly. However, with the RLP, the spotting and my cervix hating me after every single attempt-- I've said enough for a little while. H actually feels kind of bad for me because he can see I'm nauseated and exhausted. So we cuddle and snuggle and right now that is going to have to do it for us. BLERGH.

mothernorth · February 2016

Ah yes. The moistening of the panties. It's so awesome sitting in class being overly aware of my swamp crotch. -_-
Other than that, DH has all the other symptoms for me. HA sucka!

I'm dreading the inevitable 'roids from constipation. So far so good but I know they're coming. We named my butthole Patrick since it now looks like the pink starfish from SpongeBob from my last two pregnancies.

monana86 · February 2016

I totally expected to be constipated because I have always kind of had digestive issues. I have had the opposite though and I wonder if it is something in the prenatal?

Also noticing I am wetter in the uhm, cellar down below. I am glad it isn't just me.

Swamp crotch. It's like you know my life!!

jade24422 · February 2016

Sorry I haven't read through all the responses, but has anyone else had much abdominal pain with their digestives issues yet? I am a little over 4 weeks, and in addition to the crazy bloating started having some random pains this morning that I think are digestion related (no bleeding or I'd be more concerned!). Just wonder if anyone else has experienced much of that. Oh, and ditto on the boob stuff... Man they are sore!!

YES! One night the cramps were so bad I was in tears, went to the bathroom (#2), and within 10 minutes the cramping was relieved. I have endo and have a feeling digestive cramping is related to that. But I understand what you're talking about!

LGW2015 · February 2016

@natsfan2442 yes! I think they've been gas pains for me mostly, it's hard to tell. But I know what you mean. I also had on and off cramping during my 4th and 5th week due to the uterus muscles stretching and growing but haven't had any of that since week 5 (on week 7 now).

housewifehobbyist · February 2016

These are cracking me up! Count me in for swamp crotch and sore boobs. Also crazy cramping (which may be at least partially from constipation) and cervix pain/pressure.

_darth · February 2016

So apparently I dry heave audibly at strong smells now. Great. This is great. Totally socially acceptable. Go me.

kmolleltz · February 2016

@natsfan2442 I've had some bad gas pains on and off for sure. Way worse than non-preg gas pains.

Since I hit 6 wks my boobs have been increasingly sore. Like ridiculous.

smmatt08 · February 2016

@DarthFuriosa That was me walking through the grocery store yesterday. Really pleasant.

jade24422 · February 2016

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with the pains/cramping. It has just been today but no fun! I'm also about to go into yoga so wondering how the sore boobs are gonna work out in there in some poses haha. I just hope no one has on any perfume...that's been my biggest smell aversion! It'll all be worth it though!!

SuperNerd42 · February 2016

Nothing too crazy so far, just lots of cramping the last two days. I'd assume my period was about to show up if I didn't have a positive pregnancy test to tell me otherwise. Also put me down for boob pain.

With my first pregnancy I had horrible horrible room clearing gas. It was extra awkward when I was in a customer facing job and couldn't just excuse myself away from the area. So horrible. I hope I skip that this time around!
