@feeislove +1 on pantyliner! Both of my nips are producing small amounts of clear liquid. I showed DH in disbelief. Apparently, I am KU and will hopefully be able to feed a baby.
I have the complete opposite problem of constipation. I am like clockwork in the morning and it's far from being of regular density- much less in that aspect.
I have had elephant-sized farts for the past month or so. And I thought I was hiding them pretty well but last night DH informed me I've been farting a lot in my sleep!
So I've been rationing my orgasms lately to once every couple weeks because I get cramps for days after. It's messing with our sex life as sometimes DH struggles to finish when he doesn't think I'm super into it. Two nights ago we had an awkward sexual encounter as a result because I started crying after *rolls eyes at my hormones* so I decided I'll seduce him tonight and have an orgasm.
Woke up in my hotel this morning in the middle of an actually legit dream orgasm. Now I have cramps AND I DIDNT EVEN GET LAID.
On topic of orgasms: I'm so neurotic that I immediately grab the doppler once an orgasm subsides, you know to make sure baby isn't all like "That's not cool, mom. Not cool at all"

So. Much. This! H now asks me "do u wanna cum" before hitting the button, cause he knows the cramps are reaaaaal.
+1 on the boobs leaking train. I have this irrationnal fear that if pumping causes contractions, H has to stop "sucking on" my boobs otherwise ill have his baby right away lol. Eta : sucking on them, more like eating them, but with suction lol
Super impressed by all the sex you guys are having. Apparently I haven't gotten the 2nd trimester sex drive and my DH just takes care of himself and never complains... I guess I'm pretty lucky. But I do miss the intimacy. My DH like.. refuses to come onto me though.. because he wants to respect the fact that I'm pregnant and he read somewhere to not push for sex and to wait for me to initiate when I might feel like it lol. And also since it took us a while I think we are just exhausted from all the sex. But if he doesn't initiate it soon it may never happen again...
ETA this gif totally sped up here- sorry for all the seizures.

Talk about being neurotic, i listen tothe babys heartbeat before and after. Before : i tell him im sorry, and its only dad lol. After : i verify his dad didnt kill him.
I'm convinced that there is something in my office that triggers me to poop. I poop every time I am at work. I came in for a few hours over the weekend and pooped during that time. WTF?

On the topic of orgasms, last night after we had sex, the baby was jumping around like crazy. I read once that orgasms cause a little jacuzzi effect for the baby, so I'm hoping it was having fun and not totally freaked out in there

@bluejeanbabi05I hate the cramps after sex. I have been putting DH off lately because I don't want the cramps that follow. I guess I need to suck it up and just deal with them for DH's sake.
My TMI, I've been super constipated lately. When I do manage to go it takes a lot of effort and I feel what I think is my tear from the previous pg. It's starting to really hurt. This couldn't be the start of hemorrhoids could it? I've never had one so I don't know what to look for?
@jessafishy that happens to me with stores like Ross, HomeGoods, etc. Every. Single. Time. I go in one of those stores I end up needing to poop. It's so strange! I'm convinced something about disorganization triggers my poop reflex.
@bluejeanbabi05 yes, I've only had the big O during sex like twice, it takes a lot to get me there. I've been super sensitive down there since becoming pregnant and sex just doesn't feel all that great. So I'm usually just ready for it to be over. Maybe being tense from the discomfort triggers the cramps, IDK. I don't remember being so sensitive or dealing with cramps during my first.
+4 on pantyliners. I can't sneeze/laugh/cough without peeing a little.
I've been having vivid sex dreams nearly ending in orgasm (I wake before the big moment). Unfortunately, DH isn't there usually because he's out the door by 5:30am for work, so he can't help a girl out. We've only had sex once since becoming pregnant, and he's been a saint about it, but I can't help but feel bad about it. He's one of those guys that loves full hips, boobs, butt, and stomach...and currently I have those in spades.

This used to happen to me with libraries from childhood through early adulthood. It would be within 15 minutes of walking in the door and the feeling was very distinct and urgent. I always thought it had something to do with the scent of all of the books? or a cleaner? or a psychological connection that compelled a physiological response? Thank goodness that doesn't happen anymore because I take the kids to the library a lot, and it would suck to tote all of the kids into the bathroom upon arriving at the library every single time.
Edited because apparently I don't know the difference between scent and sent. Drrr.

I am +1'ing on the pantie liners. The extra stuff down there has gotten so bad, i;ve developed a minor diaper rash .... I'm officially using the arbonne diaper rash cream every day...
@dumbledoredies same same! We've DTD one time and I hated every minute of it. Sex just doesn't feel good while pregnant IMO. DH takes care of himself, yes he whines, but knows I'm not into it so even if I offer he waves it off.
My TMI - my bladder control is so horrible that when I puke, I pee all over the floor! Super embarrassing!! Thankfully it's been the middle of the night whenever this has happened so I didn't have pants on. Kneeling in a puddle of pee while puking ... not hot!

Are we the same person?? I cried during sex a few weeks ago and I think it was traumatic to DH because he now constantly pauses to make sure I'm okay. I can't decide whether to laugh or feel bad about it anymore.
I was rationing my Os too, and then felt so bad for DH after the crying episode that I've stopped preventing them. The cramps calmed down for me and now it's just the kid going crazy afterwards that freaks me out!
@mrs_fogue I feel you 100% with the constipation. I am "naturally" constipated, if you will, so since I've been pregnant things have been so much worse! I think I may have hemorrhoids from straining (gross) I'm going to talk to my doctor about it at my next appointment. It takes a lot of effort to go to the bathroom so I've been kind of avoiding it lately. Ugh.
I'm with you @canonmom413 on the opposite of constipated. I'm not complaining but sometimes I'm like what is this?! I've considered the panty liners in the last week, because omg what is going on down there...
my sex drive is WAY UP, like in the aspect of I have dreams and then I wake up and my hand is in DH's pants in the morning (sorry not sorry) he doesn't complain shoild I expect the cramps after an O? I've never had the issues thus far but it sounds common...?
I am not enjoying sex either but it's not because of cramping, it's because I'm too preoccupied to get in the mood. DH isn't great about paying attention to not putting his weight on my belly so I feel like I'm always worrying about getting squished. And I'm struggling with the weight gain aspect of all of this so I don't like being naked unless it's pitch black ... but then at bedtime when it's dark enough to feel comfortable I'm so exhausted I'd much rather just sleep. We DTD a couple times a week but that's it. Poor DH.
My DH isn't great about not putting weight on my belly either. And I'm much too exhausted to go on top usually. The other night, I took an epic dump (we had eaten a lot of junk at his parents' house) and he was out there WAITING for me...who does that? I just took the mother of all sh*ts and you want sex. Like sorry...not in the mood.

My DH would be thrilled at this point with a couple times a week, lol. We're at once a week at the moment.

Also, accurate representation of @Brambles23 whilst posting on TB this morning:
I haven't experienced the cramping after sex yet, but I'm sure it's coming. DH and I DTD 2-3 times a week, and so far nothing too negative.
This used to happen to me with libraries from childhood through early adulthood. It would be within 15 minutes of walking in the door and the feeling was very distinct and urgent. I always thought it had something to do with the scent of all of the books? or a cleaner? or a psychological connection that compelled a physiological response?
