Loving all this sophisticated talk tonight.
Def yes to massive fanjo. Noticed mine the other week and had a mirror peak and it looked v dodgy. Feels much nicer now tho so not sure if bubs had just been pushing v hard down there.
On the bum front.......i havent really had to strain yet (think my vitamins have stopped most of the constipation) but over the past few days there has been a bit of blood when wiping. And then even without passing a stool, i have given a quick wipe and there is a smear of blood. Do you think i have something going on inside and its just leaking out and needs to heal. Is there any cream i could put on to help?
I think i have a tear in the area to be honest as about a year ago i had blood and there was all that bowel cancer stuff on tv so got checked out and the doc said nothing wrong, cant see a problem.
Urgh pregnancy worries.
Our MLU has a double bed in and looks a bit like centre parcs inside. No visiting hours and we can stay for up to 24 hours and dh can stay over with me. Really hope all goes well and i can go there as couldnt bare to send dh away once his first child is born.
On the lady garden front....dh also says it looks like an afro down there, so i told him he could sort it for me if he wanted as i cant see a thing. He hasnt taken me up on the offer yet but if he doesnt i really dont care what it looks like when i am in labour as i am gonna be pushing a melon out of it so pretty sure it is going to look horrific to whoever is there with fluff or without. Maybe the fluff will conceal some of the horror!
My flatulence has increased 6 fold today. Felt v sick this morning and bump has been really uncomfortable, plus had a loose stool and then the farts arrived, but because of the loose stool i was worried extra would come out so had to keep rushing to the toilet at work whenever the flatulence was too much to take, just in case. Pregnancy is so embarassing. They never tell you about htis stuff.
I dont think it helps that as my nephew was early, all i cant think about now is prem labour and so if bump gets uncomfortable or loose stools or pains i think its a sign when i know its just normal. Argh!!!!!
Dh seems to have perked up today and has managed to get an interview on friday so back to fingers and toes crossed.
Had my maternit meeting today and all is as i thought so thats good. Work has been ok too and i havent been overdoing it. Have not worried about covering my bosses work (she said not to unless i was quiet) but clearly she hasnt told others that i am not covering as they keep passing things onto me or asking me to do things in her absence.
Ummm what else have i read on this thread tonight??
another hope things are still ok inside.
Yay to all the nesting but boo to bump size explosions. Although i think this is what happens from now on.... The bump just grows gigantic.
