I'm officially a gas ass! I've always been a burper, not a farter (hate that word), but now I can't burp and they randomly machine gun out of my ass!!! I've also never been one to pass gas in front of DH, but it's absolutely uncontrollable and I don't know it's coming 99% of the time. Worst part is that I find it so fucking funny, like can't catch my breath laughing! I can't tell if DH finds me disgusting or if he's trying not to laugh in fear of encouraging "bad behavior" ha ha!
And lgsdesigner I'm right there with you with the sweaty swamp vag! Blech
I hear ya! I basically came to this thread to say that everything about pregnancy farts is the worst.
I also have been struggling in the defecation department. I had not gone for 4 days (in SPITE of all the prunes, fiber supplements, water, and exercise I have been subjecting myself to!!) and I just took some Colace, which my doctor recommended. And I just pooped now, like 2 hours after taking it, and it wasn't made of rocks or anything! I didn't even clog up the toilet. Miracle!! I'm so proud lol. I hope it keeps working.
Oh yay--just realized I forgot to put deodorant on when I lifted my arm and smelled a lovely smell. Pregnancy brain-1, Me-0.
I'm ashamed to admit but I do this often. I keep a travel size deodorant in my desk at work.
I keep my deodorant in my purse, not the bathroom. Especially in my line of work (hairstylist/barber), I often have people's heads in my pits.
Funny story -- you know how sometimes you buy a new deodorant and it's kind of a dud? This happened to me, but luckily one of my first clients that day was my best friend. After washing her hair, she whispers to me "Um, are you wearing deo?" "Yeah... it's not working, is it?" "...Uh-uh". What are best friends for!
Add me to the constipated, swam vag, huge areola club.
And @ajzmommy thanks for the Miralax tip! I usually just add it to my water, it doesn't really have a taste, but I don't necessarily enjoy it. I'll be trying it with juice now!
I have serious Sas-crotch. I was going to try home sugaring, but I think this will require a weed whacker first. Hopefully I can make it to Home Depot before Valentine's Day.
Oh, and to those with the big areolas, my DD had trouble latching onto mine because they were so big, but DS had no problems. With my DD I used nipple shields and it made 1000% difference.
What is sugaring?
I had to use a nipple shield with DD due to flat nipples. They are very helpful, but I would suggest trying to work out your latch issues without the shield or else it's hard to ditch it!
Sugaring is like waxing but you melt sugar and lemon juice until it turns almost solid. Then you spread and use as you would wax. You don't need stripes and you just keep using the same ball of sugar over and over until all the hair is gone.
Here's a link which give you the recipe and some more links to videos.
With the nipple shields, we had to use them for about 4 months once we started, but after that DD nursed until she was almost 2 yo without it. It is hard to ditch, but if what you have is an anatomy issue (i.e. nipple too big, baby mouth too small) you just do what you have to do. Once she got big enough, she easily switched over to just boob.
Yes- swamp crotch is a real thing. And amelandre I went bra shopping with my mom this weekend. First time she saw my preggo boobs. And she informed me (I'm a FTM) that latching requires baby to get the areola in his mouth and now I have the same fear that giant areolas will make it very difficult to BF.
I only a quick search but this site says that it doesn't matter how much areola goes into their mouths, just amount of breast tissue. Apparently there are different techniques for different sized breasts to facilitate this. I need to buy a breastfeeding reference book and I think the suggestion thread for it was on The Dump...
beeorange That really sucks. I would have been pretty annoyed if I had to go the entire time with them. Kudos for nursing 17 months with them! I would definitely try to avoid as well.
I haven't had a normal poop in months. My doctor pretty much said we've done everything we can do. If I haven't gone normally without bleeding I will be sent to a specialist. T&P'S for butt if ya'll don't mind!lol
So I had a couple of things to share here, but then after reading through this thread I realized that I could just check an "all of the above" box. I'm a hot mess over here.

Vag sweat is becoming a "thing", now. I was at the gym the other day doing leg press, and a guy walked by as I was doing a set and stared in that area, and gave a weird look and kept walking. I went in the locker room after, and saw the biggest sweat wet spot down there. Looked like I peed myself!
This Is my life.. After I teach zumba. Whole wet circle on my leggings. Used to bother me , but now I'm like oh well.. I burned over 1000 calories today. Who cares?!
I just peed myself sneezing... After 2 kids my pelvic floor is failing me.
I peed myself last night- like had to change my undies/pants. Super sexy.
Just did the same thing about 15 minutes ago. Like a full on, pee dripped down my leg, pants and underwear changing sniss. Thank god I'm at home and not out or at work!

I believe the terminology you're looking for is "the cool kids clurb" because CLURB
