I'm not entirely mad about the return of my Bartholin cyst because it means I have an excuse to not have sex. Zero sex since baby making. Keeping the celibacy streak alive.
I dont know about others but I've always had some darker hair under my belly. In the last month it seems like they got darker and more excessive. Im already fair skinned to begin with. This happened with my first too. The tweezer is my best friend while I can still see!
I'm just about done with my cold now, but for 2-3 weeks I was coughing a lot and peeing myself. I'd try to mostly wear THINX underwear so that I wouldn't be peeing through to my clothes, but then I'd end up stinking (my discharge has also been really stinky this pregnancy.)
My vagina itches and burns. I know it's not BV or yeast. I think it's just irritation from all the extra discharge? I don't know but it's annoying and unpleasant. Why is pregnancy so glamorous?
@MrsFreeman2010 I have always gotten that off and on throughout my adult life (my body is way too good at making CM), and the things that get me through are the obvious: changing underwear frequently, not wearing underwear at night if you can stand it. But also, I steal our "moisture barrier" cream from work (I'm a nurse) but I think it's mostly just the same idea as basic diaper rash cream. It just makes a barrier between your skin and the moisture so that you don't get rashy. I see that Calmoseptine is sold at Walgreens, which has some menthol in it and is a great barrier. Just in case you get desperate. I will say - a little goes a LONG way. Like such a thin layer you almost can't tell it's there.
@ShadeofGreen816 I'll have to try that! I work tonight (nurse also) so I'll grab some. Thank you! I've been changing my underwear at least twice a day, sometimes more which helps. And I have noticed when I wear nothing it's better. I don't remember getting this last time. Pregnancy always keeps you guessing!
@MrsFreeman2010 I have the most success with Barrier Spray if your hospital stocks that. Its less messy! I just didn't mention it, because I'm not sure it would be stocked anywhere else to purchase? Good luck!
Oh the horror that is my left nipple. It is über sensitive right now. It feels like someone scratched it and now anything that brushes up on it stings so bad. I don't know what's happening, it's only the left and I didn't scratch it! I want to stab my self in the eye.
Zits and discharge! I am a high school teacher so I now talk pimples with my students. As for the discharge, had to buy panty liners because I felt like I was walking around in soaked underwear all day

I scratched my nipple with my engagement ring while I was changing today. I completely understand this pain now.

Also, my hemorrhoids (yes plural) are so bad o can hardly spoon DH at night.
