  27+3 here. Just totally owning the man sweatpants and skin. I tried the KT tape to give my irritable uterus a bit of a break. Not too bad for a first try! And it really did seem to take away a little bit of the cramping.

  @StephBrim24 I Ann glad the KT is helping. I think I am allergic to the adhesive(I took it off days ago and the lines are still there and itchy.) I love your room!

  @StephBrim24 so I totally took Mh shopping for new sweatpants on Saturday... and I’ve been obsessively wearing them ever since.
  
  @megpeg if you rub milk of magnesia on the places where the tape was, it should offer some relief and help it to go away. You can also put milk of magnesia on the places you want to tape and let it dry and then tape and it is supposed to help with the irritation. I’ve only tried the first option, but it works well enough for me.

  @StephBrim24 - what guidelines did you follow to help you tape up? How'd you know where to put it?

  @megpeg - I’m not allergic to the adhesive but I decided to take it off last night and still have the marks to show for it. Ouch! I didn’t know I had little baby hairs there! Thanks on loving the room. We just moved in September and have done a lot of work! 
  @mdfarmchick - yeahhh I’m on the slippery slope of no return with sweats. When everything makes you crampy, a loose waistband is heaven. 
  @crossfitbabybump - I did some research online and compared a few sites that seemed credible (chiropractic offices and such) and decided to go for the simplest option I saw. Then I just paid close attention to make sure I didn’t feel any discomfort that may signal I did something wrong.

  @crossfitbabybump - this is one site that I saw that used the same basic method that other sites used. I used technique #1 - I’m including this site since I think her instructions are pretty clear and easy to read. They are the same instructions as other sites - like a chiropractic office made a video on how to do the same thing. I had to ignore how precious and tiny her belly was on this site. It made me feel like a whale. Haha!

  @notthefather - That's why I decided to own the classy photo and post it. I had been curious too, so I figured if it seemed to help me, I'd pass it on.

  I finally took a picture- I thought it looked cool when I waddled past. It’s a reflection in one of the windows on my MIL’s back porch. Got a good shot of the lake too. We’re 28 weeks, 5 days today and baby is measuring close to 30
