TMI Tuesday

0SeaMonkey0 · March 2016

Did I miss this? Are we still doing it??

jhems776 · March 2016

Yes! I've started a couple times in the past but kind of forgot today.

Mine is my nostrils have been soo very itch and therefore I've been picking my nose, like a lot. I hope not tooo many people have noticed.

0SeaMonkey0 · March 2016

After my first was born I was pretty proud that I didn't have any major bladder leakage issues. I definitely got a surprise the first time I did a jumping jack at a month pp, but nothing long-term. Well now I'm 16 weeks pregnant and can't seem to hold my own pee! It's worse than it's ever been before. It's not just when I sneeze or jump either. Any time I let myself get the the point when I really have to go, I end up wet

Really not cool.

mom2adoodle · March 2016

@0SeaMonkey0 Oh no! That's a bummer. Ugh, I guess I should get on my kegels? Somehow they always make me feel like I have to pee. Am I doing this right?

My TMI Tuesday is that I smell so strong down there. This happened with my daughter, but I feel like it happened later. It's not stinky, and it doesn't smell like, infection-y. It's just so damn strong! When I use the bathroom I'm like WHEW what? Hello!

When I TMI I don't toe the water, I just jump right the eff in, y'all.

@runningisrad I just burst out laughing reading this. I have tears in my eyes! I totally know what you mean but you just but it so eloquently. Dying....just dying over here!!!

hey_clever_girl · March 2016

@LakeR2014 I don't have much of a TMI filter. Ha!

AnnaS930 · March 2016

@runningisrad - you go girl! My bodily odor that I can't help is my armpits! I'm a sweaty gal when not pregnant.. but when I am.. I feel like my armpits are non-stop! Right now I can feel my t-shirt underarms are wet under the cardigan I'm wearing. It's so annoying. I can smell my deodorant all day long... stupid sweat-activated scent! ARGH! I am so afraid of being the smelly person, I hate it... REALLY looking forward to July/August! ugh.

steminist · March 2016

@AnnaS930 I had terrible issues with underarm sweatfor years. Even if I was freezing, I'd end up with wet shirts. I use Certain-Dri now, which is a nighttime applicator antiperspirant and it has completely solved the problem. It says to use it every other day, which I did for a couple of weeks. After that, I can go months without having to use it again. I still use a deodorant every morning, but the overwhelming wetness is gone! It does make me a bit itchy sometimes, and you shouldn't use it the first day or so after shaving, but it has been a miracle cure for me. It's also pretty cheap (about the same as standard deodorant) and found at Wal-Mart/drug stores.

skirtandsandals · March 2016

My tmi - My boobs itch! All the time! When I put on my bra, when I take it off, when I go outside, when I come inside, when I move around, when I sit still, when I am hot, when I am cold, it doesn't matter, my boobs itch! And not in a slightly annoying way that I have to just ignore, no. They itch so badly I want to/often do rub them in circles with my palms, much to the enjoyment of my husband. I hope/assume this is because they are grown, but I am already up more than a cup size, so this is getting ridiculous!

AnnaS930 · March 2016

@Jabreen - thank you! I actually think maybe it's hereditary, my mother has the same issue and when I was in high school I used one of her prescription anti-antiperspirants and it made my underarms itch like hell but it dried them right up! I will have to look into the safety of using such a thing when pregnant and see if it's worth another shot. Sweat stains are embarrassing.

steminist · March 2016

@AnnaS930 Not 100% on the safety, but I'll admit I used it a couple of days ago. It's Class C, I think, so not much research out there. And yes, sweat stains are the worst! I used to discretely lick my fingers and do a wet-color test when shirt shopping to see how noticeable wetness would be if I did buy it. I'm so glad I found a solution that works for me, and hopefully it helps you, too!

AnnaS930 · March 2016

@Jabreen - I already use a "clinical strength" deodorant by Dove/Degree/Secret.. which I'm sure contains aluminum and people are afraid of.. but as you know, the struggle is real.

Ssoccerball · March 2016

@0SeaMonkey0, I feel your pain. I never had bladder control issues and I could never relate to people that did. I was always like, "just hold it!" Now I've had two previous vaginal births and am 15 weeks pregnant with twins and I'm totally eating my words. Every morning I vomit about 3 times and the force of vomiting makes me pee my pants. This morning there was actually a puddle underneath me, like I was two and just learning to potty train. It's all so humiliating.

AmMcc12 · March 2016

@AnnaS930 same issue and I started using Old Spice (men's) antiperspirant/deodorant. It has helped.

camichael84 · March 2016

My TMI is hemorrhoids. Painful hemorrhoids. I didn't have any during my entire pregnancy with DD. They showed up postpartum, and now I fear they are going to be a bitch this pregnancy. I used Preparation H for the first time this week. It worked magnificently, and I'm hoping I'm jumping the gun thinking this is going to be an ongoing struggle.

mhilpisch10 · March 2016

Yeast infection! I hate them. I had them with my second pregnancy and they are so uncomfortable. The insane amount of discharge, swelling, itchy!
Am I a complete freak for wondering if we can still have sex while I have one?

camichael84 · March 2016

@mhilpisch10 I don't think you're suppose to have sex during a yeast infection because you could give it to your DH and could end up passing it back and forth to each other. That said, when TTC our first, we totally had sex while I had a yeast infection once because I was ovulating, which only happens every 2-3 months. I didn't want to "waste" our chance. Didn't get pregnant, but also didn't give the infection to DH.

Note: Not encouraging you to have sex with a yeast infection. My advice is to let it clear up.

Also, after you describing the infection, I think you must have a little freak in you to still want sex right now.

mhilpisch10 · March 2016

Lol I know right @camichael84 ! It's not the worst I've ever had. Sometimes I forget about it, and the swelling comes and goes. But I definitely feel like a bit of a sex freak which is so not me usually!!
thanks for the input. I was too embarrassed to even type "having sex with a yeast infection" into my google bar! Haha

frogdog06 · March 2016

Um, so remember that annoying little hairs thread? Mine grew all up and down inside my butt crack. Fine little hairs. I think they're about an inch long. Yeah..

And the 'rroids..Sigh.

Yup, this is me. Never had hemorrhoids before but here they come! I actually had some blood after passing gas and it freaked me out at first when I saw it on the tissue but I remembered it's the other hole I need to worry about.

RedMar · March 2016

My nipples are like peeling. It's almost as if I got sunburned and am losing a layer of dead skin.

Also regarding the peeing of pants, I tend to be a strong sneezer and the other day during class I snissed so hard!!! A girl started laughing (at my sneeze) and I was so humiliated my face was beat red

RedMar · March 2016

@skirtandsandals itchy boobs are awful! I would put some bio oil or something similar on them to keep the area moisturized. Stretch marks are the pits!

cammlyn · March 2016

Discharge... so much discharge.
Not like it is carrying an infection but it is just everywhere and has a strong vag smell. And I just feel like I need a million showers a day.

estellegetty · March 2016

This is soooooo TMI I got a skin tag on my vagina. It just like suddenly showed up as if it had been there all along. WTF?!? This is going to be super embarrassing to have taken off. My husband keeps telling me that the doctor has seen worse, but he's not the one that has to go through with this! Oh the horror!!!!

Yep!

sunshinern96 · March 2016

I snissed in the middle of the grocery store today and totally soaked my underwear. I didn't even feel like my bladder was full! Luckily it wasn't enough for other people to tell I wet my pants but I finished my shopping and ran out of there! Just add this to the long list of things that never happened to me during my first pregnancy...This kid better be cute when it finally makes an appearance!

I feel your pain. I have always been an um... flatulent person. I can out-fart DH any day of the week, in both pitch and smell. Gross, I know. I have IBS, so if I hold them in it hurtttttts like nobodies business. I was self conscious of it when DH and I first started dating, I actually blamed it on the dog for the first while and he believed me >.<. But now, sweet fancy moses... it's awful. Like I can clear out a room with a little baby grandpa pffft fart. Today I should have known something was up, I farted and my cat sitting beside me actually scrunched up his nose and jumped off the couch. I had to go outside. Then I went to get gas and let one slip... except it wasn't just a fart. Yup, pooped my pants pumping gas. Lesson here? Never, ever trust a fart. EVER.

AmMcc12 · March 2016

My nips are super itchy and I find myself scratching without even noticing at the most inappropriate times... Mostly at work...

TheTamedShrew · March 2016

Second yeast infection this pregnancy. I have tried all the things to keep them away. So frustrating. Hopefully the monistat does the job. Also @mhilpisch10 I can't believe you have any desire to have sex with an infection. Any time I have tried that it is painful and seems to make it worse.

I am also a snisser. That seems to be only time I have bladder control issues.

newsense · March 2016

I love this thread. Yall make me feel human. I can relate to almost every single one of these- and if I can't now, fairly sure I will soon.

camichael84 · March 2016

I haven't actually snissed yet, but it's been close. It wasn't a problem I had during my first pregnancy, just like the hemmies. It's like pushing DD out half wrecked everything and this pregnancy is finishing off the job.

camichael84 · March 2016

@yellowrose314 I trusted a fart I shouldn't have during first tri. Thank God I was home, and it was just DD and I here.

I had to get a mole removed on my very very high upper thigh. Like my groin area. My husband couldn't believe my doctor was a man. But that was slightly embarrassing. I can't imagine actually on my vag!

tinypikachu · March 2016

This might be more oversharing than TMI but I had to page my doc tonight because I have crazy shooting pain in my vag. I feel like my labia is super swollen and inflamed but it's not tender. And the pain moves all the way up to my cervix. I feel like I want my vag massaged lol.

hey_clever_girl · March 2016

"Snissing" is my new favorite term.

LakeR2014 · March 2016

@AlwaysAuntNeverMom Did they say what it could be? I've had this happen to me a couple times over the last couple of weeks. It hasn't lasted too long each time so I've chalked it up to another joyous part of pregnancy, but wondering what your doctor said.

AnnaS930 · March 2016

That sounds a lot like what my last board described as lightning vag. Not sure if there was swelling involved but definitely sudden sharp shooting pains. Youch.

Also, my nips are also a little peels and itchy as hell. I lotioned them is this morning and realized my boobs are the crazy road map of veins they were last time. Yay.

kosmo86 · March 2016

I get the lightning vag too! I have looked it up it can be caused by your uterus expanding or baby on a nerve.

camichael84 · March 2016

When I got lightening crotch with DD it freaked me out. Everything I read online at that time said it usually happens in 3rd tri when they are bigger, but I had it from around 16-20 weeks with her. My OB told me it was normal even this early. I get it occasionally now with this one, and I'm only 15 weeks. For me it feels like someone tapped cervix and it leaves a sharp, reverberating pain.

This was me last night and that's why I called the doc! I felt so bad paging him after hours for something that could be a normal pregnancy thing but I freaked when I read that it happened on the third tri and here I am at 15 weeks with a sore vag, good thing he apparently has no life and was still at the office. @LakeR2014 he asked me a bunch of symptoms (for yeast infection, preterm labor, UTI, etc) and whenI said no, he said it sounded like stretching pains and told me to come in if it gets a lot worse. Apparently this could be the uterus stretching and/or putting pressure on a nerve in different positions. For me, it got worse when I lied on my right side on the couch.
