Dear morning poop, I am so happy that you are arriving pretty much daily - but can you please hurry up your arrival? This 10-11am thing is kinda cramping my style as I would really prefer to see you around 6am... pre shower and weigh-in and in the comfort of my own home.
Again, please don't let my pushy ways deter you from your daily regularity, just come a little sooner. K thanks
@anneb644- Oh yes, I'm serious. I eat a pretty high fiber diet, and on days that I don't feel any movement in there I drink a cup of coffee.. fool proof within the hour
I have my first ever UTI which started on Friday, didn't have all the classic symptoms. From last week's TMI Tues I thought it was lightning vag at first but then it got worse and the pain stayed all day on Sat. I eventually called the doc who sent in a script and then spent a good part of the night with an ice-pac on my crouch . The antibiotics are now making my pee neon yellow, like a highlighter .
I feel slightly guilty that I apparently have the "glow" folks are missing on the Randoms thread. However I did wake up with an explosion of chest and back acne. WTF? Little pimples literally appeared overnight and are covering my shoulders and chest.

Def TMI..My vagina is SO sore. This is typically been my main/worse pregnancy symptom but didn't start last time until 24 weeks. This time at 13. It just feels swollen and painful no matter what I do- sit, stand, walk, etc. and over the past years we haven't found anything to help. I think it has to do with pressure...? I even had the same problem on my honeymoon
@TNgoldengirl you wrote exactly what I was going to write. I don't remember my lady parts acting a fool this early! The blood must be pumping extra down there for us. Not looking forward to it later
I have never heard about the lady bits feeling sore during pregnancy @TNgoldengirland @seitzy3! I am a FTM and have this to look forward to??? I have heard about the pain after giving birth but not prior....

I have zero desire for sex. Zip. Zilch. I have a low sex drive anyway, but now it's non-existent. I feel bad for my husband, because honestly? We haven't had sex since this baby was conceived. For reals. I don't even have the desire for him to do stuff to me without actual sex. I just don't want to be touched. I feel like a whale, and I'm swollen and fragrant in the netherworld. I just want to wallow with a bag of Doritos and watch Lost.

I don't know if it's better or worse that I feel the same way towards activity with my husband (or anyone else for that matter.. not put off by him) but a couple times a week enjoy the good vibrations of my little friend in the drawer of my nightstand - usually after my morning shower when he's already gone to work. It's like the urge for pleasure comes on quick and I enjoy the 1 minute of effort that takes to get the job done and move on.. the idea of sex is just not high on my to-do list in the foreseeable future. We've had sex once or twice since conceiving. Last pregnancy we didn't have sex until 40+ weeks when my doctor said it might help soften/move things along. It didn't, but some sex was good before labor recovery.
Well my sex drive has come back with a fiery vengeance. We got about a week in, not kidding, sex every damn day. DH was in 7th heaven, my sex drive has been MIA for like 6 months, except for the conception. But then I started cramping and bleeding, and found out last week that I have placenta previa and now we're on a "penetration ban" as my midwife put it. Needless to say, I bought a Costco sized pack of batteries for my buzz pal in my nightstand drawer

I'm so glad I am not alone in this. I feel broken! What's weird is I keep having sex dreams, but the desire to actually do anything is nonexistent. Agh!

Mine is pretty gross. Yesterday when I whiped after peeing there was tons of bright red blood so I panicked. Well apparently these hormones are causing cysts on my bits and yea that happened.
@runningisrad- yes, see some of my posts today in the Randoms. Steamy dreams also happening over here, but often including men from my past, which would just make me feel weird about climbing on top of my husband after being turned on my an ex in dreamland (I'd be awfully pissed if he did the same to me), or I wake up and the dream has already satisfied me... that I won't complain about.
@blondie080300 you know I don't remember if I had it with my first pregnancy. Hopefully you don't have to worry about it. But my last pregnancy I swear it got so swollen it didn't even fit in my underwear anymore :hides face: But it goes back to normal after delivery, so if it does happen to you don't worry because it's totally normal. It's just caused by all the blood circulating in that area.
Um IBS with morning sickness. like hold on let me flush this poop so I can turn around and puke. Oh look I threw up and pooped at the same time...so glad my husband was at work.

Yep, I've had this since week 12, FTM here. My labia feels so swollen and sore but it isn't tender to the touch or inflamed, it just feels that way. I was lying on my couch the other night and the pain moved up to my cervix so I paged the OB in a panic. Turns out lying on my right side causes my uterus to press on a nerve and that's where the pain came from. I am not looking forward to getting bigger.

This sounds like no fun and I'm sorry! But you made me laugh so hard I almost choked on a chip I was eating! FWIW, I have IBS-C and it is hard. When I was going through morning sickness, I would rarely go. When I did, though, I would puke right after (even after passing gas) because I couldn't handle the smell. Not the same thing but, you know, ew.
@AlwaysAuntNeverMom the smell is so horrible. It was honesty the worst case of either I have ever had. So glad I could make you laugh though. Lol. I am pretty sure even my dog was laughing at me as I was cleaning up my bathroom. At which point I am pretty sure a construction zone portable potty was cleaner...
@runningisrad@AnnaS930 i have had 3 consecutive dreams about past men. It's getting a little insane. I am also surprised how this is not upping my sex drive at all.
I have my first ever UTI which started on Friday, didn't have all the classic symptoms. From last week's TMI Tues I thought it was lightning vag at first but then it got worse and the pain stayed all day on Sat. I eventually called the doc who sent in a script and then spent a good part of the night with an ice-pac on my crouch . The antibiotics are now making my pee neon yellow, like a highlighter .
I had a UTI at 9 weeks with my first. I never thought I'd have to google "can antibiotics turn my pee green", but it happened.
After stopping the progesterone suppositories, I want sex almost everyday. Here's my TMI, but pregnancy sex is the best for me, like multiple Os every time. I know as I get bigger, finding a comfortable position is harder, but it never stopped me with my first. There have been more hindrances this time (a toddler, constipation, hemorrhoids), so we only have sex 2 or 3 times a week, even if I feel like I want it more often.
@AnnaS930 your post made my jealous. Daily? Are you serious?!
Same. I'm every other day to every two days. And when it happens it's usually not pleasant.
I'm back to almost normal too- every other day, sometimes every day (sometimes twice a day OMG). If I had coffee, it would be instantaneous too. I just haven't been in the mood for coffee- so weird!
@seitzy3 so sorry you're experiencing it too! Though makes me feel better I'm not the only one because none of my friends had it (and it's not something you just talk about with everyone.) I have had 3 different OBs trying to figure out what it was, because the first two were kind of dismissive about it. However I finally discovered before this pregnancy that I also have a latex allergy. So, I was having that problem along with constant BV and yeast infections...possibly because of their gloves?? Miserable. Anyway, this exact pain ends when baby is born so we basically chalked it up to the inevitable pressure/blood flow stuff, and I'm SOL.

OMG @AnnaS930 I'm in the exact same boat!!! 1st tri I wanted sex but the doc said no because I had spotted a little twice. So of course it's all I wanted but I refrained. Second tri now, and I'm like "meh." Poor DH was excited and we did it once- and I swear it felt different for me. It hurt a little and I was sore all night (ridiculous). Plus his little Irish beer belly rubs my blumpy bump (whatever it is, it's in between phases now) and he crushes my boobs, just not worth it. I too prefer my vibrating little friend. Much quicker, easier, zero pain or squishing of the boobs, plus, hello multiples! I wait for him to leave too- and then I feel guilty, but not that guilty. Thank GOD I'm not the only one!
@camichael84- I can relate to that, solo jollies over here.. with the buzz buzz or without can easily result in multiple O's in a super short amount of time (a minute? maybe less?) Increased bloodflow for the win.

For I second I thought your "I'm back to normal" post was about sex not poop SarahMConnors . LOL - I'm over here like coffee? what am I missing??
My TMI is my loud, uncontrollable burping after dinner. It's only that time of day, and wow, it's impressing/horrifying. Picture Will Ferrell in Elf. So yeah, I'm not having sex because I am grossing out my husband with my burps! Hell, I am grossing myself out.
Bacne. Is this going to persist during the summer too? Dermatologist said all I can do is use Neutrogena body clear wash and to hope my hormones straighten themselves out soon. Great. Anyone have some miracle solutions?
My TMI is my armpit. Idk why my body hates me but it happened last pregnancy too. My armpits literally get so fat. I actually went to the doc last time because I was so concerned. I basically get a huge lump under my arms and it looks like a fat roll when I have my arms down at my sides.. Hubby said it looked like a "ballsack" under my arms. Thanks hunny! Turns out it's just all milk/milk ducts spread out from my boobs.. Once my milk came in and I nursed a few weeks it went back to normal. I'm hoping since I'm still bf a couple times a day it won't get so backed up like it did last time... But I feel like they are starting to look puffy/chubby again and I'm not happy about it! I live it Hawaii and it's 80 year round... Can't exactly just hide under shirts.. Ugh! I don't want armpit ballsacks
Wtf is going on with my nipples?! They never changed at all with my first pregnancy and 15 months of breastfeeding and now this time they're GIGANTIC and darker and aaaaaalways hard!!! This is ridiculous!
And me to the- I don't want to have sex with my husband, but I have sexy dreams of other men- camp. I had an interesting dream of Cameron from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" the other night.
@beachmama14 I would totally take ballsack armpits if it meant living in Hawaii!!! My armpits stinkkkkkk more than usual if it makes you feel any better

@sareej521 same here!! I used to have cute nipples. Then one night when I was around 8 weeks, DH was like "babe... They're different... They look all Bologna Barb from Pitch Perfect".... To which I replied by throwing my iPod at him and burst into tears. He slept on the couch that might. I'm not proud, but I was very emotional. I wish I had had the opportunity to take a before and after picture, but by the time I took my BFP my boobs already didn't look like themselves
@yellowrose314 bahahaha! The bologna barb comment now has me even more self conscious! I'm sure hubs will still love them but there's no way he will ever be allowed near them with how sensitive they are!

@sareej521 aww I'm sorry lol I didn't mean to make it worse! Mine are ridiculously sensitive too, but that works in my favour for sexy times lol
@sareej521 YES. Always hard. Always! It's unreal, I didn't think it was physically possible.
@nativetexan512 I'm the same way, but after breakfast! Thank goodness I have a little bit of a walk to my train because that walk is usually filled with belches, I can't help it. Luckily once those pass I'm good throughout my work day so I haven't embarrassed myself at work (yet)!
