TMI Tuesday

KMD1106 · December 2016

Let's hear em!

SparkySunDevil · December 2016

I keep having sexy dreams about men that I work with. I have zero idea why, other than pregnancy is weird haha

clebl24 · December 2016

My boobs that were previously nice and perky before DS are saggy due to first pregnancy and breastfeeding for 2+ years. Now they are getting bigger with pregnancy, but with the sag my boobs somehow get stuck in my armpit while I sleep and I pinch my nippple and OMG it hurts.

bacorrea · December 2016

I have so much discharge. I don't remember this being an issue last time. Ugh so gross and it makes me itchy! Eww.

pshaortao · December 2016

@clebl24 ouch that sounds annoying! I hope that is temporary somehow. My nips are way more sensitive this time around. I totally blame breastfeeding.

My TMI is just a too much. Let's just say I've been very congested in the nose and throat and trying to clear myself out. Blah. DD thinks it's funny though because I tend to sound like an elephant. I can't blow my nose quietly unless I'm in a situation where I don't want to embarrass myself in public or around someone I just met.

KMD1106 · December 2016

I'm finally in the mood for sex again. For some reason I still keep track in my Fertility Friend app and realized we hadn't DTD in over a month before last night. Ooops! Sorry DH.

sarah0985 · December 2016

I'm sick of having a weak bladder. I always have (especially when I'm sick with a cough) but it's gotten so much worse the further this pregnancy has gone. EVERY SINGLE TIME I SNEEZE! Yesterday I went to the bathroom, was walking out down the hall and sneezed and peed a little. How if I just literally went to the bathroom? No matter how many kegal exercises I do. It's still there. Ugh. Tmi. Pretty sure my husband thinks I'm gross.

lilmisscrafty-2 · December 2016

@sarah0985 this was going to be my TMI! It's gotten so bad that every time I sneeze MH asks me if I just peed.

We haven't done it since we made this baby over Labor Day weekend!

Jkp7749 · December 2016

@LilMissCrafty my husband asks too because he thinks it's hilarious...if only it happened to him haha then he might realize it's not so funny! But i guess it's better to laugh about all these crazy things instead of getting upset

Pretty close to the same here...I'd say early September? DH gets a little weird about it during pregnancy and I totally lose interest. It does make it a little weird to get "back in the swing of things" after the babe comes, but in the meantime, I kinda like my space. Which I realize makes me sound like a terrible wife.

We've done it a few times but I have literally said "if you want to that's fine but I'm just going to lie here and don't worry about making me happy because I just don't see it happening today." So it hasn't been especially romantic. The weird thing is I have extremely vivid sex dreams at least 1-2 nights a week... so I'm not sure why I'm so uninterested IRL.

Louise_Belcher · December 2016

@sarah0985 Same here! Two nights ago I had just changed into my pajamas and was caught off guard by a sneeze. I quiet yelled "son of a b!tch!!" and proceeded to change my entire bottom half. My husband stood there with a half smile and said "sorry love".

onebadmotha · December 2016

@ShadeofGreen816 - That is exactly how things are going here...hahah. DH says "Well that's romantic." Do you want romance or do you want sex? I can't do both simultaneously right now. Just can't. I also have tons of vivid dreams, but it doesn't translate to actually wanting sex. So that's a bummer.

starphish18 · December 2016

@WombThereItIs and @Kipperoo Same boat here. My husband and I haven't had sex since the baby was conceived. Right after we found out I was pregnant, we went on a two week vacation with family, so it wasn't happening then. Then, I felt awful on a daily basis for months. I'm finally back to a point where I think we'll have sex soon, but it just hasn't happened yet. We talked about it a while back (I brought it up, assuring him I'd want sex again at some point), and he was really understanding. He's basically leaving the ball in my court, which I appreciate for once. Like some others mentioned, I've been having a lot of sex dreams... The real thing just hasn't been interesting me yet.

ETA: @Kipperoo I don't think that makes you sound like a terrible wife at all.

WombThereItIs · December 2016

FFC/TMI: I don't want to have sex but my DIY drive is super strong. Nearly daily.

MiaQuiche84 · December 2016

bacorrea The discharge struggle is real. I am so tired of wearing pads and changing underwear. It is constant, all-day.

I agree. It's so much easier, cleaner, and faster this way.

MrsFox2008 · December 2016

My nips are super sensitive I had to purchase softer wash cloths to even be able to wash them in the shower!
The discharge has decreased for me, luckily. Although I'm still sweating like crazy down there

Jens_Hoes · December 2016

I'm so jealous of you women who have husbands who don't put up a fight about sex! I could go forever without it but he wants it all the time... We just went one week without having sex and he was complaining like a crazy person!

So glad to hear we aren't the only ones

DH is definitely not happy about it but my morning sickness is really night sickness so that's not happening. Throw in the fact that he's up and gone for work by 5am, and is in bed by 830...

Maybe you have a yeast infection or BV? Itchy and lots of discharge are symptoms. Pregnancy can bring both, since hormones can mess up pH. D-:

Yiggle09 · December 2016

@bacorrea I'm right there with ya. if I don't use those cottonelle wet wipes during day I'll get itchy from the discharge and from the pads holding in the moisture. it was so copious it wet my undies and scrubs I had to tie my scrub jacket around my waist!

ShadeofGreen816 · December 2016

Yuck I feel you ladies on the discharge. Luckily mine is pretty... viscous? It's like intense creamy EWCM and it is unbelievable. Sorry if this really is TMI but it does tend to have a variety of colors. One day it was kinda greenish like snot. And I'm pretty confident that it's not BV or yeast based on lack of odor, no itching, and the fact that I've had BV about 150 times. Slight exaggeration but it's at least a dozen times in my 20s.

NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot · December 2016

I was diagnosed with BV today, which is the 2nd time this year. I've only ever had it these two times. Anyway to prevent it? It's gross.

BeachMommy2B · December 2016

The discharge struggle is real! I guess "fortunately?" mine is also very thick so it stays in place till I wipe... but it's so gross when I do go and wipe.. it's like wtf just happened. At least it doesn't wet through my undies I guess.

OmegaRose3 · December 2016

Discharge is always a thing for me, pregnancy just makes it slightly more gross than usual so I feel for all of you. Best advice: use panty liners if you can (I can't because it gives me rashes), baby wipes help with freshness, don't wear spandex-y underwear, and wipe frequently.

TMI: I swapped my navel ring for a flexi rod one and realized between DD, DH, and pregnancy on my mind I hadn't cleaned it recently and the ring I was wearing for the last month smelled awful...not infection awful, but unpleasant for sure.

CherryBananas · December 2016

I wish I could figure out what my body is doing lately. I get crazy discharge during the day, but at night when we go to have sex? Dry as a bone. I'm talking reapplying-the-lube-three-times-and-it's-still-uncomfortable-as-hell dry. I was going to ask the midwife about this tomorrow but has this happened to anyone else?

MrsFreeman2010 · December 2016

The discharge situation is out of control. It's itchy and irritated down there from the constant wetness. I started wearing panty liners because I was tired of changing my underwear multiple times a day and it seems a little better. I have an appointment next week and I'll have her test for yeast and BV just in case (though the consistency and odor doesn't make me think it's that). Just grossness all the time!

The never enough line part sounds like my sex life while nursing so I'm guessing hormones could be at play. They do have some otc things you can use to help with dryness though aside from lube so be sure to ask if she's ok with that.

Thanks! I've been lucky in that my sex drive hasn't suffered too much, but knowing it's going to be uncomfortable doesn't make me super excited.

ShadeofGreen816 · December 2016

@NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot my only tips are to stay as dry as possible. For me that means no underwear to bed at night - it doesn't get as messy as you might think since you're not standing up much and so nothing "falls out" - always cleaning super thoroughly after sex (I use the wet toilet wipes or ideally have sex right before showering ... semen seems to be the most irritating to my skin), and frequent underwear changes with only cotton undies. Also I switched to fragrance free detergent for a while but figured out that really wasn't what was bothering me and I missed my clothes smelling nice.

CarmCeG · December 2016

A bit late but TMI is that on Saturday night my right breast started leaking water and I was really uncomfortable when SO wanted to be intimate!

sweaterboots · December 2016

So...about 3 times while pregnant, I've had sexy dreams and woken up climaxing IN MY SLEEP. I looked it up an apparently it's a real thing?! It just happened two days ago...not loud but physically completely having an orgasm as I'm waking up. Wtf!

starphish18 · December 2016

@sweaterboots Yep, definitely a real thing! It happens to me on occasion anyways, but has increased during this pregnancy.

BeachMommy2B · December 2016

@sweaterboots totally a real thing, happened a lot during my last pregnancy and has happened a couple times during this one too.

Can't say I hate that pregnancy symptom... its normally in the middle of the night so I end up falling right back asleep a little bit more relaxed

Cubslove12 · December 2016

I also have no sex drive! I tried to just do it to make my husband happy the other night and it sucked... It's a totally different sensation :-( I miss being close to him in that way, but I don't want to do anything sexual haha. I feel like the worst wife right now. Poor him we went from sex all the time to barely anything...

sweaterboots · December 2016

@BeachMommy2B @starphish18 Glad to know I'm not alone
