TMI Tuesday 6/9

[kemdupuis]

Ok ladies- I know I am not the only one with gross stuff happening to my body. Let's hear it!

[kemdupuis]

Ok... This may be more appropriate for SQS, but everyone talks about their hemorrhoids, and I have no idea if I've got one or not. I've got this little "blob" of tender skin that is kind of growing right out of my butt hole... but it isn't painful at all. It's small, and not red or anything. I'm just wondering what it is? Is it like a starter hemi that hasn't ruptured yet? Should I treat it with tucks pads/preparation h? I have my next appt on Thursday, so I will ask then, but looking for advice from anyone who knows what I'm talking about

[theBeeMama]

kemdupuis sounds like a hemorrhoid to me. I'm in the same stage right now, no pain yet, just swelling. But a few ladies have kindly suggested I go ahead and start with witch hazel pads/ cold compressed and creams to make sure it doesn't get worse!

[bendherova]

Yeah, it's a hemorrhoid and sounds similar to mine. Mine don't bleed unless there's been straining. (which isn't actually the hemi rupturing, but more fissues near the anus. tiny ones.)

keep it as clean as possible and start with witch hazel or Prep H.


My OB said after things recover/heal post partum we'll talk about what to about mine since I'm done with having kids.



Also, I've been taking Senna once daily to help keep things moving in advance of delivery and to avoid any sort of straining. so far nothing new?





my tmi is that the sheer volume of poop is unbelievable. I was unaware I even eat that much in a day.

[kemdupuis]

Thanks for the tips, ladies. Will prep h actually help it to go away? I am totally Amazon priming some right now... I love the annoymynity of the Internet sometimes!

[maddib]

After the D&C I am not having any bleeding but every time I pump my uterus contracts and I get a big gush of pinkish to yellowish ( it's never the same) gunk that smells kind of like my water did when it broke. I can't remember who said it but they were right when they said it kind of smelled like semen. Ugh gross!

[wormgerm]

I fart a million times when I wake up each day. Then have a big yucky poop. Today that was followed maybe half an hour later by a round of explosive diarrhea. I feel like my GI situation is getting worse by the day.

This morning I had the biggest poop I have ever seen. I am not exaggerating when I say it was at least three feet long. My induction may have been postoned but maybe my body is cleansing itself in prep to do this on its own?

Apparently everyone in the metro area (except me) went into labor and headed to my hospital. They were too busy.


Eta: I'm going in on Thursday now.

Oh FFS.
I'M starting to believe you'll be pregnant forever!

[bruunk]

@jimbobcooter gah, I'm annoyed for you!! I'm hoping your body is doing it's thing and not waiting until Thursday!

On the poop front, yea, going from having a hard time to being overly regular I will take!! And big poops every time? I should have been a lot lighter than I was at my weigh in this morning...

I can smell my boobs. Apparently they are supposed to smell like your amniotic fluid for baby? I guess I hate the smell of my amniotic fluid, because I can't stand the fact that I can smell my boobs. Smells like warm, oily skin. Not dirty, but just a smell I don't want.

I have never heard of this... But I definitely just grabbed my boob and sniffed. (Thank goodness no one can see me right now.)

Lost part of my mucous plug I think. When they said light pink discharge I expected it to still look like a period a little. It was bubblegum pink colored, like bright neon pink.

My doctor said that is your bloody show. Not your mucus plug. I guess they are two different things? I lost my mucus plug a week before my water broke. It was yellowish green. I had the bloody show maybe eight hours before my water broke. He said the bloody show is from the capillaries bursting around your cervix and means your cervix is starting to thin and or dilate. So maybe that's hopeful!! FX you have an outside baby soon!!

ETA my bloody show was also bubblegum pink. And lasted for a couple of hours. Maybe every other time I wiped it was there

[erbear]

I had non-painful hemmies, too...until I was moving around on my birthing ball today! Thankful I bought Tucks a few weeks ago.

I now obsessively check when I wipe thanks to posts on here. Front and back.

[Flick]

maddib really hoping it's that then! I'm being induced next week so I'd love to spontaneously go on my own. Been having menstrual type cramps too. Lol

[silv3rlining]

Last night I managed to pee between the toilet seat and toilet all over my pants/underwear. I guess I was angled a bit forward. ...and I get frustrated if DH gets pee on the floor....oy

[mrsmonogrammed]

Felt a large gush...SS me immediately jumps to thinking it's my water breaking, but I think it was actually just discharge. Can't decide which one I was hoping for...

Giving birth took away all ability to effectively control my bladder. I squatted down yesterday morning to scoop out some dog food and the flood gates opened. I peed ALL OVER the kitchen floor.

Luckily H was sleeping, so he never has to know.

Lol, one of my first pees post partum I was still in the hospital obviously, and by the time I pulled my pants down I was already peeing and I didn't even know it!! I sat down fast haha!

During L&D for DS I kept saying I don't know if I'm peeing or its more water leaking. I never really felt the urge to pee while in labor and was stuck in bed anyway. Also they cathed me right before pushing. But apparently hadn't emptied me all the way by I peed on my OB

I have 3 huge water blisters near my incision line and on my hips. I think it's a reaction to the surgical tape but they hurt when the warm shower water hit them.

I've been super constipated since the surgery but the last 2 days its been working its way out slowly in small hard balls. Well this morning I thought I was going to DIE!! I finish and of course turn around to inspect my work and I said out loud " no fucking way that just came out if there!!!" It was huge in diameter. Bigger than anything I'd ever passed before. My husband was like are you ok and I said no my ass just gave birth!!!

[wormgerm]

Dang baytosa2013 that sounds rough

[turtletyme]

@baytosa123 I am glad you survived that! Good lord!

[bruunk]

baytosa2013 that made me spit out my water. I'm hoping you feel better soon!

[txngrl31]

budders, ugh, that was me week 1 postpartum. By the end of week one and beginning of week 2, the blood started to change color and become lighter. The body is a strange thing! I, grossed out just thinking about what is coming out of our bodies post partum.

[missk0411]

What I thought was heat rash in my inner thighs/groin is probably a yeast infection, according to my doctor. Yep, an external yeast infection (as he put it, heat, plus moisture, plus dark, plus probably peeing out some sugar since I have GD = grow yeast, grow). At least I know why hydrocortisone hasn't been working! It may be psychological, but I feel better after one pill.
