I post about poop every week - why would you think this week would be any different?

Yesterday I had to go right at the end of work (I have a 45+minute commute home, there was no waiting). I went, but really had to struggle - too hard, too much, lots of pushing. Today I noticed below my eyebrows that I have some small red spots - little broken blood vessels. My entire top half of my face was broken blood vessels after birthing my son - I tend to push and focus a lot of the pressure on my face I guess.

So I birthed that poop yesterday. Youch.

I weaned my son last week and now my boobs look like sad flat pancakes. Even my nipples are drooping. I don't know if they will get bigger again before baby comes but they are so small and saggy right now. I think I have to accept that if I'm not nursing the girls will never be what they once were.

reesaXden · March 2016

@mhilpisch10 That was me after my son weaned. He is 4 now and they never returned to normal until I got pregnant. I imagine they will stay this way until this one is weaned and then be all sad and small again. Haha. The joys of motherhood!

I just very recently started pregnancy associated vomiting, and now I'll only eat things that aren't likely to be super offensive tasting/feeling coming up.

Gross.

AnnaS930 · March 2016

@mhilpisch10 - I breastfed for 10 weeks until going back to work then switched 100% to formula. My boobs were so pathetic even after a relatively short spout of milk producing. I'm really enjoying the pregnancy boobage but reminding myself that it will not last beyond milk production, however long that is/I choose for it to be with this little one

jhems776 · March 2016

I have been gassy. Yesterday at work I tried to hold it for the restroom, got there and nothing, back to my desk and toot! I am slowly just not caring. At home I've been using my bathroom trashcan that has a lid to prop my feet up on and pooping has been a lot easier and more productive. Today I took the biggest poop since week 5, I feel like five pounds lighter....

WildMama · March 2016

Oh lordy my stinky farts. Is this an evolutionary test to see if my husband will stay with me through them??

camichael84 · March 2016

Last night DH and I spent several minutes blaming the cat for a lingering, foul fart before we realized it was DD's poop (she's 1.5 and in diapers). The cat was next to us and DD was not. Her poops don't usually permeate through the whole room like that.

OBMommy · March 2016

Yes, the stinky farts! I tried to warn DH about them last week and he said he didn't want to hear about it. So this weekend, on the way home from Ikea (where I wasn't allowed to purchase anything), I let one slip out and didn't tell him. I think I almost caused a wreck as the tears blurred his vision but it was absolutely worth it!

Peanut butter! Tastes the same coming up as it does going down

yellowrose314 · March 2016

Last night I made lovely handmade tortellini after getting a spurt of energy. It was delicious. It was not so delicious when it came back up 15 minutes after eating, when I puked so hard it came out my nose and all I could smell for effing hours was sour Alfredo sauce

I can't tell if that's a good thing or a bad thing...

I guess it depends on whether or not you like peanut butter lol

Over the weekend my vagina got swollen to twice it's normal size. It was sooooooo painful and uncomfortable. My wonderful midwives fit me in for an unscheduled appointment yesterday. The one I saw (who I'd never met before) kept asking me to describe it before she took a look. I just told her to take a look because it's so noticeable she'd see what I was talking about immediately. Poor women seemed shocked when she took a look. She said it looked sooooo painful (which it was). Thankfully, it's a bit better today.

RedMar · March 2016

@AnnaS930 while giving birth to my son, thankfully the nurse kept saying "push like you're going to poop" to give me some direction so my eyeballs didn't pop out. But because she told me to shat... I did all over the table and then some. The joys of childbirth.

@mhilpisch10 my boobs are FINALLY resurfacing. I nursed for about 7 mos and I remember it was the saddest thing watching them fade away.

AnnaS930 · March 2016

@RedMar - Oh yes I was told the same thing.. and apparently since I break facial blood vessels when I poop this is just how I do. I'm a wild pusher. Thankful I didn't break and blood vessels in my actual eyes - that's just freaky looking. This makes me look a little pink in the face.. I'll take it during my ghostly white winter period

Thscary · March 2016

Second the peanut butter thing. peanut butter was the first food I vommed up during pregnancy. It really wasn't that bad. Pizza on the other hand...

diagonalley · March 2016

DH and I have both been a bit of hornballs recently but haven't been able to really act on it. Last night after DS fell asleep (in our bed, between us) I successfully got him to his crib, woke DH back up, and we took care of business. It was great and very much needed. I just hope it doesn't bother my SHB?(I always mess up that acronym - bleed in the uterus) and cause spotting which will just mess with my head.

TheTamedShrew · March 2016

I'm am also very happy to see my cleavage returning. Too bad it means everything else is getting bigger too, so it doesn't really make me feel much sexier.

DH and I finally had sex (for the second time since BFP) the night before last. I was not really warmed up enough because he was too eager to get into much foreplay, so the whole time I kept saying "more coconut oil!" He got the job done though, and I will say that I had zero soreness due to the CO. I highly recommend it for pregnant sex.

Ouch. One night when I was throwing up mashed potatoes, they came out my nose. It burned like hell. I used saline up my nose for like 5 minutes to try and clear things out. It was stuffed up the whole night and next morning. The perk of that was that I couldn't smell puke constantly.

jhems776 · March 2016

We have only had sex once since BFP, have been hoping to correct this but H started playing Fall Out 4 and I go to bed way earlier than him now. He has always really preferred right before bed but that doesn't work now. I also think he is a little scared....

I flushed my nose out and used like half a bottle of hydrasense, no luck. I had to breath through my mouth for the rest of the night and now my lips are chapped has hell.

Same here, and also because of video games/sleep schedule. Solution? Call of Duty went "missing". And by missing I mean I hid it in the vegetable crisper since DH never goes in there. DH looked for it for about 2 hours, and then noticed that I was wearing booty shorts to bed and suddenly the game wasn't so important anymore. #winning

tinypikachu · March 2016

DH and I had not been DTD since we got our BFP and we got freaky, like 9 days ago. I had an earth shattering O, I mean, huge, like I had never had anything even close to that in my life. AndI ended up getting terrible muscle pains all around my vag and upper thighs. I'm still in pain today and I've been waddling around for 9 days. If anyone asks why, I'll just be like "oh you know, just getting ready to waddle when I'm bigger", I don't even know what I would say lol.

jhems776 · March 2016

And another one: I'm at work and was just using the restroom, while peeing I sneezed and had the worst RLP I've had yet and made audible pain noises. Thankfully no one else was in the restroom, I think. I've had some RLP but nothing like this and had to just sit there for a while.

tinypikachu · March 2016

Also, I now pee a little sometimes when I puke, sneeze, cough or laugh too hard. Had to change underwear three times in 30 minutes the night before last when I had a pukefest.

mhilpisch10 · March 2016

Oh I've got another one. I went to the Bruce Springsteen concert last night with my family. After the concert we were like ok everyone go to the bathroom before we go. I said " don't worry guys I don't need to. I just peed in my pants" every jump at the concert just a little more came out. After 2 babies and now being pregnant... Those muscles are NOT what they used to be.
But it was so worth it!

AmMcc12 · March 2016

@jhems776 I literally laughed out loud when I read that. I sure my cube neighbors think I'm insane.

kosmo86 · March 2016

I hate my work bathroom situation. My company has kinda of campus style offices in an old town so my office that I share with 5 other people used to be an apartment at one time. Well anytime someone uses the bathroom you can here them. It is hard enough for me to go pee, which I try to do quietly (and probably fail) but there is no way I can poop in there. Add that to the constipation and never knowing when i am going to need to poop, it can be stressful.

good thing I only work 15 minutes away from home....

SarahDarah333 · March 2016

Oh lord- so many things.

The stanky ass gas- when it's bad, it's SO BAD. The pooping (or sometimes total lack thereof)- when I can't poop I feel awful, and then when I finally can it takes FOREVER! And I've always taken pride in my ability to get in there and get out quickly, but now I find myself spending more time on the toilet than ever- between constant peeing and this nonsense. Then I have three days in a row where I poop. What's up body? UGH!

And then sex- my OBGYN said no sex till the second trimester because I had light spotting twice (not sex related though, and all was fine- just extra precaution)- which is KILLING me because it's like all I want... next to french fries and milk shakes... my next appointment is this coming Friday, and my mom is coming with us. I have to kick her out of the room so I can beg my doctor to let me have sex again lol! Poor DH went from me pre-BFP being not always in the mood, but now I'm on the prowl constantly. He's all confused.

*sigh*

sareej521 · March 2016

I have a nice chest cough right now and every time I cough and loosen up mucus I puke, it's lovely... had a nice 3 day window of no puking before it hit!!!
