who wants to laugh....really hard?

[ScarletBegonias]

so i was checking out the other ddc's for any juicy info and i found the funniest thread i've seen in a dog's age. you have to read the whole thing, it just keeps getting funnier. let me know what you mamas think!

http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=763747

just for the record, i have none of the aforementioned dilemas!

[the elyse]

that's hilarious. no problems in that area yet...maybe when i get closer to 30 weeks like they are?? it is true that every client i've had has had the same odor when they're in labor. it's really um, unique...

[ScarletBegonias]

i TOLD you! i was lmao while reading those posts.

"from now on, i'm pooping at YOUR house! a butt blow dryer!"

[operamommy]

Thanks for the laughs!

I do need to add though - no icky smell here yet, but I'm about a day off being unable to shave my bikini area anymore. No amount of twisting can make it visible. During my last pregnancy I made dh hold a hand mirror down there every time I needed to shave.

[ScarletBegonias]

my dh is kind (and gentle) enough to do it for me!

I remember it from my previous pregnancies, but I very rarely smell it now and I don't have time to bathe anywhere near as frequently as I'd like to. I had it a bit in the first trimester when I couldn't get away with "no deoderant" for awhile, but now my deoderant stone sits unused and I'm not digging into the coconut oil and baking soda either.

It seems like I was changing panties twice a day by now, at least, but it really isn't necessary this time around unless I've been doing a LOT of exercising on a hot day.

Of course the absurdly frequent peeing finally caught up with me but I'm just being matter-of-fact about it and not letting it stress me out but so much.

See? I can be just as TMI as anyone else!

I definitely have an icky smell here. please tell me I'm not the only one?

and with that i'm going to :

Good steal! Though my goodness, the gas I've got ALREADY is horrific, I can't imagine it getting worse. You know that horrible sulphur smell, like eggs gone awfully bad? I didn't realize it was pregnancy, I thought it was my eating hardboiled eggs. So I cut the eggs out of my diet, but if anything, things got worse. I'm afraid if I light a match afterwards the air will explode.

In all the books I read (56 for those of you new to the DDC), I saw a lot about "more gas" not "weapons grade gas."

Honestly whoever says that pregnancy is beautiful needs to meet me behind the school at 4pm, we need to have some words.
I don't have any of the afflictions they are describing, but golly, I just can't wait. :
I have noticed that I am warmer so I feel clammy more and I've taken to showering and bathing everyday to feel better.
I've also noticed that my immune system just isn't what it normally is, except I haven't gotten a cold, I've had a lingering sinus issue since June, I've had a YI for over a month that keeps checking in to annoy me, my skin and I are having issues and I could go on and on.
Really pregnancy is not for the faint of heart!

OMG I'm glad I'm not the only one who looks for hilarious threads like that! That DDC has some hilarious mamas!

I have noticed a change in odor but I like the smell and dp really seems to as well : We're hippies as my co-workers like to tell me, so maybe we're just used to odors after camping excursions in a camper with a broken shower...

my belly is starting to get hair on it though! I plucked each one out. I don't care if the bush goes wild but when I get hair on my belly it makes me feel like I'm turning into my Dad.

and I agree with ya on the gas Writerbird! I have to run to the bathroom at work all the time because I don't want to cut one around the guests!

[Jezzy]

OMG they are so funny, I haven't had a chance to read all the posts but I will!

ksera05; I haven't noticed any icky smell but I have noticed that my cm seems to be pretty agressive. It burns sometimes *down there*

dont be embarrassed.. i actually posted on that thread cos i noticed that smell... ick ick ick... dont be shy!!

[flapjack]

Oh, I miss zjande. She deserted our DDC when she got her bfp, and she made me laugh so hard I gave birth...
OK. I am so stinky I...

wear cloth pads so if I wet myself, I don't have to change my trousers.

wear cloth pads because I have so much thoroughly stinky discharge that I'm always CONVINCED I wet myself.
(and they ain't pantyliners either. I haven't got enough pride for that.)

haven't shaved my legs, pits, or bikini line since I got the bfp. Actually, haven't shaved anything since LAST November, when I got the bfp before the bfp befor the bfp. And waxing during pregnancy just hurts. I have a beard, too [hairy/]

can outgross a 7yo boy in a burping, belching, farting or talking about toilet contest.
My poo smells worse than a 70yo mans' with c.diff. And there's more of it. MUCH more. I'm either constipated or frequent, and I'm convinced eurovision baby has figured out how to pass his meconium back up through the umbilical cord and out through MY anus. I swear, those first few days we're going to be getting pretty yellow poos, none of that green stuff for us. Actually, come to think of it, my poo is green... hmm. Need to think more on that one.

The Body Shop are coming to take samples from the musk glands in my groin next week as a humane yet natural alternative to musk in perfumes.


AND you know what the best bit is? Vulval varicosities smell EVEN WORSE than a normal pregnancy yoni!!!!! How cool is that? Not only do I look like I have a great red lumpy beetroot poo stuck between my inner and outer labia, not only does it hurt, but it smells like nail varnish on smelly feet :

24 weeks, ladies. This, soon, could be you......

[flapjack]

Sorry, forgot one. I tried to take a picture of said vulval varicosity because my bump is so big I can't see my yoni with only one mirror, and my camera screamed and died. THAT's how bad it is.

DH still goes down though TMI?

See, dh offered last time, but the thought of him that close to my bits with a razor scares the sh&t outta me!!

flapjack, if you ever visit my house I'm gonna lie and say the toilet is broken and you need to go in the woods. We don't have fans in our bathrooms!
