To ask you what's the most satisfying thing your body has done?

[Fstt1978]

I've been in hospital for a small procedure which left me with lots of trapped wind. I've been home for 2 days, turned over In bed this afternoon and did a completely silent but REALLY long burp which felt like it deflated my whole body and all the pain in my upper back and shoulders just went. It felt so relieving and satisfying.
My sister once pulled a hair from her foot only to find it was really long and had somehow wound over and under every toe and when she pulled it , she felt it on each one.

I was going to say "gave birth to three children", but then I remembered that phantom poo I once did...

Drank far too much at a wedding last week, clearly more then my body could process. The sheer joy of vomiting and feeling instantly better. It was a total ‘hallelujah’ moment 🤣.

Definitely the much needed fart that clears your stomachache 🙈

i agree. There’s nothing remotely satisfying about giving birth. Yes, it’s a wonderful, miraculous feat of human physiology and the love you have for your child blah blah but it is not satisfying.
Conversely, a big poo or fart is satisfying but I don’t love it as much as my kids although they can be annoying shits

The tiny black head on my lip that went on squeezing for over a minute. I’ve not seen one or Dr Pimplepopper to beat it yet.

My daughter had 2 of those in her ear i had to squeeze out

Managing to click my back into place by wearing heels 😂
it’s never worked before or since but that one occasion it had been niggling me for ages and I was a bit misaligned, thought fuck it and put them on and went for a 30 minute gentle walk. They weren’t really high, about 3 inches and a block heel, but my god it felt wonderful!

The house brick poo (I swear it had corners) I had three or four days after giving birth to my daughter is still something I think and talk about five years later. It was ASTOUNDING. It hurt and i was certainly frightened, but the relief was amazing. I think I will think of it on my deathbed.

Peed out a kidney stone.
It was only this last week. But the relief to have no pain and be released from hospital was joy.
Plus I didn't even feel it

The first poo after having my second baby.

I swear it weighed more than the child, and took more effort to deliver. Had anyone else been in the room I'd have wrapped it in a blanket and posed for a picture.

Gave birth to four daughters. When it came to the last it was less than a year after I’d birthed the third and my body had definitely not got back to normal.

Not quite sure how I managed four!

the time i pulled out THE BEST ingrown hair out of my chin.. was HUGE

that and when you managed to sneeze, burp & fart all at once.. its like a full body reset lol.

The giant poo in the shape of a tin of hairspray post c section (s)

Removing the lump of hard ear wax from my ear after weeks of trying, it was like a bullet and the joy of it hitting the table after pulling it with a little ear spoon thing was AMAZING

Another one praising the first postpartum poo! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I couldn’t deliver my DS vaginally (not through lack of trying, I was in induced labour for six days!) as my cervix just refused to dilate and then his heart rate dropped so they had to fish him out via C-section. The poo I produced two days after he was born was astounding, though…I’d been on heavy painkillers for days so I was horribly constipated and the poo I finally managed to do was probably bigger than he was! I fought for my life in that cubicle 😂

My friend had a spot on her chin when she was a teenager. A totally normal little spot, she looked in the mirror, moved her chin slightly and it exploded and splattered the mirror. She says she has never forgotten it

Brilliant 😂 this feels like a comment from Mumsnet of old and I'm here for it!

OMG that first post partom poo. So satisfying and terrifying at the same time.

Weirdly I loved childbirth. Kind of like running long distances. It can be a bit uncomfortable at times, but it's strangely satisfying. Plus, i also founx it almost spiritual. Hard to describe. I was gutted that my last labour was under 2 hours from first contraction to birth. I felt robbed of the full birth experience!

The spiral ingrown hair in my armpit that I’d tried digging out for years. Started to think it was a vein. Must have been 5cm long.

Ear abscess that finally erupted and landed near my elbow.

MY BEST one - bilateral dermoid cysts. One had grown its own blood supply and wrapped itself round an overy and was the size of a slightly deflated rugby ball apparently! Mostly hair and teeth. Gutted they wouldn’t let me keep it.

Some type of norovirus as a teenager when I had to sit in the bath for 24 hours

And vomited, pooed and pissed and bled from the eyes all at the same time

Was in the cinema and my eye was itching, it had been low key bothering me all day but during the film became unbearable.

Popped to the loos to have a look and noticed a hair sticking out of my tear duct! The smallest few millimetres just poking out. Managed to grab it and slowly pulled a fairly long eyelash out of the duct. Instant relief. Glorious.

Oh I can imagine this!

@DollopOfFun thanks for this comment 😂🤣 I’m laughing whilst reading it out to my sister, I could barely get my words out without laughing inbetween 😂 xx

The frankly epic poo I had after having DD1 by C-section. It was so fulsome and buoyant that the bastard refused to flush. In the end, DH had to chop it up using the loo brush (he was assisting because I was still tottery on my feet).

It was a special moment.

Let me give birth vaginally.Hated every second of labour so glad it ended well
