Hahaha I love this. I'll probably have more but here's one:
Two years ago on vacation we didn't have separate bathrooms for all the couples in the family (extended family stayed in a cabin in MI for a week) and one of DH's cousins had been living in the dorms at college and had picked up plantar warts and since I didn't wear sandals to shower I was the lucky winner of three plantar warts by the time vacation was over. Sigh. So I've been battling them for over a year with Dr. Scholl's wart remover and thought I had conquered them....until I got pregnant. I asked the doctor and he said "yep--pregnancy will lower your immune system enough to bring them back." And they've been stubborn for months and they hurt and I'm so over it and they're gross! Lesson learned: if any family members are in college, wear sandals in the shower. At least last year's and this year's vacay DH and I have had private bathrooms.
@taylor72 actually I've had a couple other people suggest duct tape to me too. I may have to try that. It's certainly cheaper than the Dr. Scholl's stuff.
Also, the discharge was bad in the first trimester for me but didn't get bad again until literally this week.
The like 5 times we have had sex during this pregnancy and I actually finish there is sooooooooooooo much "stuff" coming out of me. It soaks through multiple layers of towels. Honestly, the sex isn't even that great, it just gushes out regardless.

Ugh, yes discharge is gross. I also peed all over my hand at my doctor's appointment last week. I was trying to hold it to get the cup ready, and apparently, when I really need to go all muscles fail. I got the cup down there, but proceeded to pee before it was in place. The cup was soaked, my hand was soaked, it was just an all around mess.
Yep add one to the discharge count. Gross! I go through a couple panty liners a day just to stay comfortable...Thank goodness for them though! I also still have a slight hemerriod that won't go away. It's gotten way better but for the love of everything, please completely go!
Another discharge sufferer here, and with pregnancy my inner thighs have been rubbing and sweaty... and overall it's just gross if I can't get a shower in each day.
As my belly button has been pushed out... Last pregnancy I was able to get a really good belly button cleaning in the nooks and crannies so I look forward to doing that again this time around lol!
@ebloom3 The same thing happened to me...on more than one occasion. I needed a new pair of undies like 3 times a week just from peeing before I got them down all the way. EVERY single time I had to pee in a cup when I was sent to the hospital (before my long stay) I peed on my hand. When I was in the hospital on bed rest, I refused a bedpan so they *allowed me (how kind) to use the bedside commode. However I'm short and the commode was tall so it was loads of fun trying to hike my ass up high enough to sit properly and pee. One time a nurse gave me a cup to pee in while on the commode, I laughed and said "Good try, that isn't happening. We either need a new way to do this or please just let me use the real bathroom this once." I ended up getting to use the real bathroom and was promptly told it couldn't happen again because my oxygen saturation went down to 80 and the cardiac floor called requiring about why my telemetry device was showing my heart rate in the 150's when I was supposed to be on bed rest. oops!
Last time I went for my checkup and prepared my urine sample, my tummy got so large now that I struggled to see down below and I peed all over my hands. Yuck.
Yuck yuck yuck.

Haha these are great!! Discharge has also been ridiculous for me too and it's mostly this weird yellow color, sometimes looks like I colored in the liner with highlighter. OB said no indications of infection so.... ooookay then!
Also, I don't think my belly button really sticks out *too* bad at this point, but I have a mole that used to be inside it and now sticks out like crazy and looks completely ridiculous. Someone at work commented on my BB and I told them about the mole and I think it was probably TMI for them. Hahahaha!
At least some people are getting some. I haven't gotten laid this WHOLE pregnancy! I'm at the point where it is all I think about now and I know if we did attempt it (which we won't), I would be out of breath within a minute.
@smallanimal unfortunately I Pee on my hand EVERY time I go in for a check up, no matter who hard I try.
@aboxofchocolates no action here, either. Husband went to Mexico twice at the beg of my pregnancy and dr gave us strict orders, no sex (or semen even close to me) for the rest of my pregnancy due to the risk of Zika. Which I'm actually ok with - I haven't had much of a desire anyways. Do feel bad for him though!
@aboxofchocolates and @carpediem55 I'm joining you in the no action club... we did it a couple times in the first tri, then my husband deployed for two months. When he got back we did it 2-3 times that next week, but nothing since Christmas. At my 32 week appt the doctor even said to him "you got her in this mess, you get her out" implying that we had to have a bunch of sex to help get this baby out on time, and still nothing. Now it's been so long that I feel huge and I'm not even sure it would be enjoyable.
I attempted to shave my lady basement last night. Don't ask me why. I can't see anything down there and I was basically just guessing. The guard on the shaver was annoying me so I took it off. BIG mistake. I cut myself several times and I'm pretty sure it looks like a crime scene down there now. Not looking forward to the questions from my OB on Tuesday.
@boxofchocolates@carpediem55@babyblake042017 +4 on the no action! We were still pretty active in the first trimester into the second trimester, but since then no dice. I don't think we've had sex in 2017. I don't mind since it doesn't exactly appeal to me right now but I do feel really bad for him since there is no sex in the foreseeable future for him. We did do handsy stuff the other night, but meh.
There's too many people to tag, but yes on the peeing on my hand EVERYTIME they ask for a urine sample (and one time spilling it on my pants) and yes to the exorbant amount of discharge (ugh I hate that word!)
Also haven't done the deed in 2017. Not since November, I think? I just don't want to and DH hasn't pushed it. We haven't done it much at all since pregnancy started because I was pretty sick in first tri, then the discharge was so much in second tri I was grossed out. Now I'm just big and uncomfortable.
And as far as peeing on your hand, pretty sure that would happen to me even if not pregnant. It's what they made soap for. Luckily in my doctor's office you can reach the sink from the toilet so I rinse off before putting my pants back on. (Followed by a full hand wash of course).

Thank God I'm not alone! My first trimester I was on pelvic rest and a bit into my 2nd then I just started not being into it and when I was (like now) it weirds out my husband too much, which I do understand
We basically gave up having sex around 32 weeks or so when I was just so uncomfortable I couldn't take it anymore. We just did other intimate things that I could handle. But recently (around 36-37 weeks) we decided to make it a point to have sex a few times a week - and finally found a position that mostly works. Literally took hours of experimenting They kept mentioning in our childbirth class that the prostaglandins in semen help soften the cervix so that motivated us to try harder to make things happen.
My semi-TMI is that my nipples are hugeee. It looks like I am freezing cold all the time lol. And I know this is normal but my areolas are dark brown when they used to be so light they were barely distinguishable from my skin color. Baby should have no trouble finding these things lol.
I am jealous of you ladies who haven't had sex. If it was up to me we would have been done at about 20 weeks. But DH bugs me about it all the time. Ugh.
I seriously cannot wipe my butt. I don't know what to do. It is just horrible.
Tomorrow DH is trimming up things for me down there. I have my 36 week appointment on Tuesday and it will be the first pants off appointment. He has agreed to tidy things up for me. It should be fun. haha!

My crotch is always damp. Always. If it's not discharge, it's pee because no matter how much I attempt to wipe throughly i pee a bit as soon as I stand up. I have to change my panty liner several times a day. Blah.
Lets see, what else?? My farts could probably peel paint from the walls. The pooping- ugh. Crusty nipples. And I attempted a lady grooming with beard trimmers. Pretty sure it looks like a blind man took a weed wacker to it. I'd like to DTD one more time. But lezbehonest it ain't happening.
Poop issues. I have moments where I wonder "contractions or gas?". Why can I not sleep without gas issues? Every middle of the night pee includes a long loud fart. If that's not TMI, I'm not sure what is!
Also, I can now express drops of colostrum from my nipples. They've had crusts since second tri but I'm actually getting drops now.
I'm uncomfortable. MIL will be here Wednesday. This dude can make his appearance any time after that.
I'm jealous of you ladies who *are* having sex. My husband is too busy and stressed all the time to be interested, but especially when he knows we will have a newborn in a few weeks or less and wants every part of our house spotless. Could be worse I guess...
My husband has been weirded out about the baby being in there from day one, so no real action since the positive test, actually. I didn't mind as I was freaking out about miscarriage so didn't want anything in there... "Other" kind of action was fairly frequent until the end of 2016 but since my tummy got unignorably big, and since he interacts with the baby more, he just doesn't want to do it "in front of the baby". It would make me sad, but I know it's not because he doesn't find me attractive (the right parts are ready for action at the touch, like always (hey it's a TMI thread...)), but I did tell him that postpartum, I *will not* be in the mood for at least 6 weeks, so it's either now, or not until the summer. He said "thats ok, summer it is then". Oh well.

I'm kinda in the same boat. We both didn't want to do anything in the first trimester because we didn't want to see spotting for any reason. Second trimester we were so busy. And then broken foot for me and then mono for him, and we still managed to get some action in early in the second tri and then some later when his mono was gone. But not lately with all the discomfort and with the house projects. I keep telling him it's now or not until quite a while postpartum, but he seems to be ok with it. I don't think it helps how I keep mentioning how low she feels and how often she keeps hitting my cervix. I think he's weirded out by the proximity to her. But that's alright. Our marriage is doing fine and we've been able to be emotionally intimate.
We made it to about 27 weeks and then I got so uncomfortable we had to stop. DH was glad we made it that far because it prior pregnancies I couldn't make it that far.
I'm in the jealous of the salacious husbands boat. Whenever I initiate sex, he gets into it but he doesn't act remotely interested the rest of the time. We were not allowed to have penatrative sex from 20wks-32wks and after that things were a little better but now we are back in a slump...
Also, I waxed pre-pregnancy and then let it get out of hand during the second tri. The discharge however inspired me to suffer through the pain of getting back down to zero. It hurt quite a bit last week but being bare down there with all of the...goo...so worth it.
Here's a big TMI: I'm been super itchy down there (possibly a yeast infection?). Well now it hurts and I asked DH to check out a certain area that hurts to touch and he said it's really red from all my scratching... How do you stop scratching?!?!
Just getting over the worst cold ever. Peed a little every single time I coughed or sneezed and basically emptied my bladder on a few cough attacks...even wearing pads it still wasn't enough a few times! So glad the worst of that is over, especially since I'm going back to work today
Re: The TMI post
Also, the amount of discharge/CM is ridiculous!

@HGRich that would annoy me! Have you tried duct tape? Sounds weird but a friend of mine swears by it.
