So I'm 7w 6d, and I'm looking in the mirror and I am like ok, possible that I'm kinda starting to show since this is baby number two, though more likely that since I haven't worked out in three weeks that I'm just getting extra fluffy. Real reason: I needed to poop.
Advice for pooping- take probiotics, drink a lots of water, and seriously buy a squatty potty. That thing saved me during my last pregnancy. You can buy one on Amazon prime and have it secretly delivered to your door in 2 days. Do it! And this video from squatty potty definitely fits the TMI thread. https://youtu.be/YbYWhdLO43Q
I'm actually pooping OK this time around (thank you, Senekot) but I'm just so GASSY. Holy. Cow.

@lincbeesmom are you crying like emotional/hormonal crying? or is it painful?
I wouldn't be worried about either in the long term because both should balance out, but I just wanted to add that I had sex up until the day before labor when pregnant with DS. never force it if you don't feel up to it, but pregnancy can be some of the best, between the extra sensitivity and the inability to get pregnant again while you already are! lol

I agree but I am 100% positive sex put me in early labor last go around!!!! We did the deed, then a few hours later my waters were broken!! DS was born a month early, tiny but perfectly healthy. But I'm not taking chances....very careful sex until 6 months then I'm Fort Knox...nothing's getting in!!!!

Like emotional/hormonal. It starts as laughing then turns into hysterical bawling. It’s actually kind of funny haha
I was worried about this being TMI so I'm glad this thread popped up today. I threw up twice today - straight bile both times. I've had decent sized meals so far today.. I guess I have to be constantly eating throughout the day so that my stomach is never empty? I don't wannnnaaa
The gas has been awful this pregnancy for me, too! I don't remember it being this bad last time. My belly looked like I was 9 months pregnant last night. Ugh...
Yuck to sex right now. for real don't touch me. or even look at me. Im such a bitch lol. i told him nothing until after the first appt, just basically because i have zero desire to do anything these days. and not sure i will after the 1st appt either. i lost my mojo
I've been trying to be nice with sex once a week right now. For the first half of my first pregnancy I was so sick that it just rarely happened and then after 26 weeks I was under doctors orders to have no sexual contact and then The six weeks postpartum...my husband was very kind though and never complained. I was still nice and occasionally gave him ah hem *treats. But right now that sounds completely awful to me!
We had sex literally once in the last month, threw up immediately after. Nope I'm good for now, sorry honey. Hopefully 2nd trimester will be better for that. Also, I miss wine.
Sadly me too. I have clean pants and underwear in my car because you never know. (I’ll also be in the corner of shame) I think PT should be a requirement after giving birth (while deductible is still met) to help the Pelvic floor recover! Wishing someone wouldn’t have told me this after the first!
So many gross things are happening to me. I keep switching between constipated and diarrhea every couple days. Plus the extra discharge I have makes me extra...odorous. And I have been super stuffy with bloody snot. You're welcome.
I have a awful cough and routinely pee when coughing/sneezing/etc. About to start the deed without DH when my coughing flared up... you can imagine the rest. Talk about mood killer.

@charlestonchew I had bloody snot this morning!!! :'( I think my A.C. dried out my nose? But I was still snotty. Weird. But I am with ya there.
@pandakov I didn't realise we could take stool softeners! Dang I need to talk to my OB about that one! Sounds like a game changer!
