The Late Pregnancy TMI Thread!

I think we definitely need one of these!

*It constantly looks like someone has sneezed in my underwear.
*I have to poop about 6 times a day.
*Hemmorhoids. 'Nuff said.
*Peeing 3 times an hour, plus the tiny little dribbles in between trips to the bathroom. Nighttime is the worst - trying to haul my huge self out of bed without waking dp or ds, climbing over the baby gate, and going downstairs in the dark to the bathroom, all with a full bladder being squished by a squirmy 7-pound-ish baby.

Anyone else?

I've done sooo much laundry recently - I'm going to just buy Depends, maybe that will allow me to get some sleep at night too!!!!

Oh yeah, all of those problems. Especially the pee thing. I am sooooo sick of constantly having to go. It's especially frustrating while grocery shopping or running errands.

The peeing thing is getting old. It's so hot here though that I have to drink water almost constantly so I'm in the bathroom about every 10-15 minutes. Makes it hard to sleep.

My hemmoroids have returned. I just blogged about this last night. I'm taking extra iron because my iron is low and I know that's the problem, but I need the extra iron so I'm going to keep taking it. But the pain in my butt! I'm more worried about the pain of my hemmoroids and what will happen to them during birth than the pain of pushing a baby out of me!! I'm scared!

One more thing, my nipples are so sore all of a sudden. It hurts to touch them. I'm getting a little scared about breastfeeding now too!

Sore nips again, and I am breastfeeding still so OUCH! Violet has been wanting to nurse round teh freaking clock since my colostrum came in.

Peeing myself consistently every night now. I wear a pad to bed because I can not move fast enough to get to the toliet. LOL

I want sex all the time and am seperated, and while we are on good terms and trying to reconcile(so I'd be ok with it), I don't want to go into labor yet either. LOL

Everything gives me contractions. Eating, getting up, sitting down, peeing, not peeing. Everything. LOL

I am sick....again. Last night, I had contractions till 230am. Thought it might be it...nope! ARGH. I am so sick of being sick! In the two months, I've had 3 UTIs, 2 Head colds, sinus infection, bronchitis, and 2 asthma flares. Hello?! I haven't had a problem with my asthma in TWELVE YEARS?!

I am soooo sick of being sick. And yeah, that stuff on my underwear is gross. Plus my PSS is back.

Oh, I've also shrunk 2 1/2 inches and my left hip practically dislocates every time I try to move.

(ok. sorry guys, a little cranky today)

Have you gotten some witch hazel? That has helped mine considerably. They are still out but not inflamed. My midwife said it is important to support your rectum while pushing and that will help keep them calm. I not only have hemmoroids but I have some vein thing on my labia I think it is called vasculitus? Anyway it itches horribly. The only way I can keep the itch away is to use hot compresses. Saturday my discharge kicked up a notch so I leak on stuff when I sit and it looks like I peed my pants. I tried wearing pads but it irritates my vein problem. Oh my.

39 weeks and yeah, it looks like someone did sneeze in my underwear , just with some brownish pink thrown in for good measure. I lost my plug yesterday.

Still peeing yes, about 3 times an hour during the day, but surprisingly when I sleep, it has subsided. I'm so darn tired I wake up with an emergency pee only super developed Kegels can hold back .. and then the floodgates are open. I only pee up to three times a night now.

I feel contractions tonight (pretty often, maybe I should start timing) because I took a long walk

What else? Did I mention even the bottoms of my feet sweat? :

I haven't gotten any witch hazel, but I'll go and get some. It did help earlier in the pregnancy when I had them bad.

What does she mean by supporting your rectum while pushing? I can barely reach back there, I wonder how I'll do that while pushing? lol

Putting pressure on it. That is supposed to help with tearing as well to put pressure on the perineum and rectum. My MW said she will do it for me which was fine by me.

No one else plagued by night sweats, heartburn or insomnia?

I have cranked the AC so low that even DH is getting chilly at night and pulled out an extra quilt. And I have started putting DS in layers of pjs.

Me! Heartburn and insomnia (it's currently 4am here!), definitely. Milk really helps, but I'm drinking a TON of it as a result . No snotty underwear here, but sweaty bras galore (and my girls aren't really that big). I end up changing shirts and bras at least once a day.

Baby dropped more, so I'm with the peeing all the time camp! I wish it would mean baby is coming soon!

I gave up underwear a long time ago in this pregnancy : but now I have to keep a towel with me when I hang out naked around the house : or else it's not underwear that my fluids collect on!!

Lots of soft poops...and maybe hemmoroids, I've never had them before, so just not sure, but definitely a sensative behind!!

And oh...sensitive nipples!! Ouch! I also had a super sensitive abdomen yesterday after baby dropped some more, now it's better and I think that it was just my muscles and organs reorganizing. But oh, was I ever sore!

Numbness in my arms...uggh. Went to the chiro yesterday but so far it hasn't helped

Autoemesiss, sorry to hear about all your illnesses, I've just gotton a sinus infection and it sure isn't fun!

My main TMI issue is pooping a little every time i go to the bathroom.

My breasts are itchy now. I think they are growing a bit again.

I'm definitely hot at night. I sleep with a sheet, if anything, while dh is cocooned in a down comforter. I put a vinyl mattress protector on our mattress, and I'm sure that's partially to blame.

I hate to say this because I'm afraid I'll jinx myself, but I don't get up at night to pee. I am sure that I had to get up during the night with my other pregnancies, but not this time.

This is me, right down to climbing over the baby gate at the foot of the stairs :

Oh, itchy boobs! I have those too Leigh. And an itchy tummy. Actually, truth be told, I am itchy all over.
