I have a hemorrhoid that was getting a little too big for comfort, considering how much time I have left, and it miraculously shrunk the other day. Then I pooped this morning, and it's back to its concerning size
ETA: I know this isn't pregnancy related but it's mommy related and it's definitely TMI
Ok girls, I got one. Usually, my toddler is up before me. Today, I heard him making noises on the monitor but when I checked, he had gone back to sleep. So I got up thinking I'll have a few minutes to myself before he wakes up. I started making coffee and let the dog out and I still hadn't heard him. I thought he'd be up once he heard that I was up so I decided to go check on him. As soon as I opened his door, the smell hit me. Oh dear god. BTDT moms, you know what's happening. FTMs, prepare yourselves... I walk over to his bed, he's laying on his stomach, and I can see the big brown wet spot on the back of his sleeper. Oh hell...I just woke up, the smell is intense, I decide coffee first then I'll come deal with this shit. Literally. Halfway through my coffee, he's awake. Here we go. Now that he's standing up, I can see it's up the front too and on the blanket he was laying on top of. So I pull up my my big girl panties and get him. Babies have blowouts, it happens. But this guy just turned 2 last week and I guess I thought they might stop. He's always had blowouts of epic proportions so I'm not sure why I thought they would end any time soon. So I start peeling his sleeper off and wiping him. He's in "what's that?" mode right now so telling him "that's poo poo" over and over when he decides to touch it. Oh god no. So I say we just need to go take a bath. He loves baths! So he gets excited and starts to run as soon as I take his diaper off! A little bit of poo drops on the floor and I yell "don't touch it!" but no worries, because my dog is already on it. Snatched it right up then rubbed her face in it to get the rest. This was within minutes of waking up if that tells you how my day has been so far. You're welcome.
okay, so maybe too TMI, but the hubs and I had some sexy time last night, and all was good with that (I mean as good as it can be when I all I see is my blazingly white belly sticking out whenever I look down - cue closed eyes) - but afterwards I felt so ill, like I was sea-sick or something. I woke up with it and it stuck around for most of the morning, too, just a nauseous, topsy-turvy feeling. Anyone experience this? Maybe it was just too much jostling around?
I feel like I can't keep my finger out of my nose! The first half of my pregnancy I was consistently stuff up, well I guess everything has dried up now and the buggers just keep on coming and they're hurting so I keep trying to get them out. But just so y'all don't think I'm a 3 year old, I usually only doing it while I'm on the toilet because I know I'll be washing my hands afterwards
@SpaceBurger You may get lucky. My oldest had one, maybe two blowouts ever. This guy though...I've thrown away several onesies and sleepers because, just no.
@kelliott09 you remind me of a story with my ex (if I left the story right there I could only imagine the stories created lol).
We were visiting his brother and SIL and they had a 2 year old. She was a little plugged up so they gave her something to help, but I guess they gave her a little too much, because she said she had to potty and they couldn't get her to th bathroom fast enough. Oh I should add that she wasn't in a diaper because she was potty trained just needed up some times. Ya saying she exploded is an understatement - there was shit everywhere! All over the bathroom and her. So SIL brought her out and stuck her in the sink in the kitchen, forbid her from touching anything and hosed her down. Yaaaa not looking forward to those days.
@LauraPCOS Good times! I was talking to my mom about it this morning and she said if she could go back to these days, she would in a heartbeat. I know it sounds shitty now, haha, but when they're all grown up, we'll miss it for sure. My oldest will be 13 in September. I'd give anything to be cleaning poop off him instead of preparing to send him to 8th grade
@kelliott09 One time that happened with DD. The only real accident we've ever had in bed. I heard her call for me at like 7am on a Saturday. She didn't sound pained or stressed, just awake. I thought, "no kid, it is entirely too damn early for this, go back to sleep". So knowing I had her penned in her room (I had a door knob parent thing on the door so she couldn't let her little 3 year old self out and down the stairs) and she was safe, I turned off the monitor and went back to sleep for like an hour. I wake up and go to check on her, and she is in her bed, covered in poop. It was in her hair and everything. I felt SO GUILTY. I couldn't believe she didn't sound stressed out or anything when she called for me because the mess was real. So I did the same thing as you, took her to the bathroom, stripped her down, and washed her off. I didn't fill the tub real high (once she was clean) and the bathroom is next door to her bedroom, so I left her in there while I changed her sheets. We only ever had just the one, and I hope the same is for you!
Countdown to Baby H! Mommy to Elizabeth (6/18/09), preemie at 34 weeks
@Kaytee1087 Oh noooo! That's my biggest fear. This is one of many blowouts he's had. We've been fortunate that it hasn't happened in public and that he hasn't painted the walls with it or anything...yet.
@coffee89 try patting a cotton ball soaked with organic apple cider vinegar (with the mother) under your arms (after your shower but before you apply deodorant). I've had the stink issue, too, and have had success when I do that every few days!
I can no longer see to pee in a cup. It's a miracle any pee ended up in the cup, because most of it was running down my hand and the outside of the cup...
@SpaceBurger, my stepson has Pica. If y'all aren't familiar with this disorder, it's where he eats nonedible things. He commonly strips his clothes and his diaper, ususlly just before a blowout. I can't begin to count the number of midnight baths, wall washes, and oral cleanings we have had to do on this child. Luckiky, i haven't got a weak stomach.
Also, just a random TMI question... Are you ladies planning on shaving the tender bits for delivery or do the doctors do it? I was so out of it last time that I don't remember.
@AshleyGemini24 The doctors have to do it anyway if you're having/end up with a C-section for safety reasons. I'm planning to do the best I can otherwise but probably won't worry TOO much about it.

I don't know how you're talented enough to do that pre-pregnancy. If you put the cup right up to your lady bits, you can't go wrong.
@books&icecream I had a hard enough time pre-pregnancy doing that lol so ya I just put the cup up, start closer to the top and move it as I pee. When I stop hearing it, I'm assuming I'm cupping it.
@ByeBabyBunting ya I haven't had separation for a bit and I'm small chested. Mine is mainly if I'm sitting though.
@AshleyGemini24 I'm planning on shaving (and taking care of butt hair!) before going in. My friend's hospital said she wasn't allowed to shave 6 weeks prior to her due date, so she was wild!!

I was planning on trimming down before I went in because right now it's very much a jungle and I can't imagine that many people having to navigate that.

LOL that actually made me laugh, but only because so is mine. I can't actually see it but if I reach down there I get tangled up! I figured I should probably clean that shit up now and then again when it's time cause I can only imagine what it will become if I leave it another 11 weeks (I think Robin Williams got lost in there during Jamanji)
This is probably better fitted for randoms, but I love me a bath! Lately they've been cold, which is surprisingly refreshing, but I'm finding it is getting hard to get out of them and I haven't resorted to asking hubby to help pull me up yet, but ya, looks like my bath days are coming to an end for awhile
Regarding hair down there: I trimmed up a bit (scissors) because I thought it would make cleaning up easier, but didn't bother shaving/waxing/caring about what I looked like down there. I ended up in a section and I guess they shaved a smudge down but it wasn't much. I'll do the same this time. I don't want razor burn or stubble itch while bleeding/tearing/whatever just because some doctor is going to see something they have seen a hundred times.
I need to bite the bullet and trim mine down - and then probably again before the birth. I know how annoying it is to just get period caught in my pubic hair, I would hate to end up with lochia caught in it. Blech!
I'm going with 100% au naturale with my pubes. Makes me feel more womanly, lol.
Funny story though. With DS, I told DH that if he wanted me shaved he had to do it himself. Well, at 38+3w he decided he wanted sexy time so he shaved me. The next morning my water broke. Delivering doctor got to see my perfectly shaven snatch. Best part? My mother got to see it, too.
