Tuesday TMI

[nolanova85]

WHEN WILL THE POST-PARTUM HAIR LOSS STOP?!?!?! The gross part of this situation would be the shower drain in my bathroom. Just unclogged it (again) last night and the nasty, black, hair rat tail made me want to vom. I could literally run my hands through my hair at any given point and pull out a wad of it. I continue to be amazed that I'm not bald. Anyone reach the light at the end of the tunnel yet?

My hair loss hasn't completely stopped but it's definitely slowed down. Slowed down last month, coincidentally when I got AF back. I still take my prenatals and started taking calcium/magnesium supplements since I saw a dip in my supply. Maybe that helped?

nolanova85 the last couple weeks my hair loss has really slowed down at 6 mo pp. Now I have all these crazy baby hairs growing in on my hair line.

My tmi - I've been bleeding for 9 weeks from my iud insertion. Bleh!

That's good news - hopefully I will see a slow in my hair loss soon.  And re: IUD insertion - I bled for 7 weeks, which was definitely longer than I bled when I had one inserted pre-baby.  Have you talked to your doc?  Google searches say that bleeding more months can be totally normal, so I'm not suggesting you should be concerned.  My doc wanted me to call her if I got to 8 weeks and was still bleeding.  I literally stopped a few days before that deadline.

Maybe not gross but it definitely qualifies as tmi:-P

I do this almost every time I take a shower, I just need like 10-15 minutes to myself. I also find that I am catching up or playing around on my phone in the bathroom. It's funny, I hate bathrooms, but lately it's been my sanctuary and only place I have peace and quiet! Haha. My husband thinks I am crazy.

Oh - and I woke my husband up on Father's Day to have sex.  I was shocked - I actually WANTED to have sex.

Ugh. DD was like that too. You become really good at cleaning the car seat cover (and everything else in your house).

Haha, very true. The first time I had to take the carseat cover off it took me like 10 minutes. Now I can get it off in under a minute! Hopefully, frequent washings don't wear it out because we've been washing it several times a week!

I just saw something on Pinterest where a mom puts down a changing pad liner in the car seat so she didn't have to keep washing the car seat cover. She also checked to make sure it was safe. Here are some screen shots and the link. The pads she used are munchkin brand, I got a 3 pack at target.

so its Wednesday but i know i will forget my tmi by next Tuesday. Here in GA the heat and humidity is unbearable atm. After three kids and reaching 30 soon I admit it the boobs might sag a bit. No biggie to me, but ugh with this heat the boob sweat is so freaking gross and is starting to cause a gross rash. I have started using lo diaper rash cream on it, but ugh I gotta invite something for this. Happy belated tmi tuesday

I had this a couple months ago. I put breast milk on the area and it really helped.
