Stuff you think must happen to other people - but can't risk asking?

Anyone else have stuff happen to you that must happen to others.

But you can't really ask because what if they say "NO! How weird!" And then you can never talk to that person again. Wink

So I'm bringing it to the anonymity of Mumsnet.

I'd love to hear other peoples. And will start off.

  • whenever I wash my hair in the shower (I have long hair) loose hairs wash down my back and end up in my bum crack. End of my shower I have to check there's no hair left.

I can't be alone in this grossness! (Or can I)

@GoBrookeYourself

When I’m on my period, a couple of days in if I’m standing up for long, my vagina starts to ache quite painfully- it feels like it’s going to drop off!
Oh thank goodness, I thought this was just me!
mistletoeandsigh · 03/02/2021 21:14

Haha - OP I mentioned this exact thing to a friend (she was experiencing post partum hair loss) and she said "thank God you said that! Nobody ever mentions this!" Grin

@vivariumvivariumsvivaria

Breastfed 3 babies in a row. Weaned them each at a year.

Still could produce a decent squirt of milk for SIX YEARS.

GP did some blood tests, found nothing and suggested that I must be either still feeding the babies...or my husband.

I changed GP, I mean, I ASK YOU! but, am none the wiser about why my boobs kept busy.

I just got hiccups I laughed so hard at this 😂😂

@Directionerforever I get this too!!!!

Bourbonbiccy · 03/02/2021 21:18

@IMissFrance this thread is genius, and making me laugh out loud.
Thank youThanks

Despite washing my hair every day in the shower and making sure properly rinsed, I found the skin behind my ears got really stinky within a few hours.

In a moment of genius (well i think so) I rubbed some hand sanitiser behind my ears a few weeks ago = stinky-be-gone!

@sqirrelfriends

Does anyone else get an achey shooting pain their legs when they're scared, or scared for someone else? I get it a lot when I get scared of heights or watching DS trying to hurtle himself off things.

I've never met another person who has it, I must be weird. Grin

I do! It starts in my feet & shoots all the way up to my thighs.
colouringindoors · 03/02/2021 21:20

Thanks OP! Your post has given me my first laugh of the day!

ok mine, when I go swimming, and do breaststroke legs, i feel like I'm taking in half the pool 🤣

CheesecakeAddict · 03/02/2021 21:20

Ok this is potentially taking a dark turn, but have you ever got a bad pain, that's so painful you get the urge to stab it with something sharp? I feel this about my hands and feet all the time.

colouringindoors · 03/02/2021 21:22

This thread is a revelation! Sad nipples SadGrin

Corncorncorn · 03/02/2021 21:22

I get period pain in my legs only. Also laboured in my legs. Anyone else!?

PurpleRainDancer · 03/02/2021 21:23

@MisiSam

Sometimes I will get a pain like someone has stabbed me up the bum, only lasts a second and it's really sharp!
Commonly known on MN as ‘Javelin Arse’ ouch Grin

@Baublebox

Does anyone elses vagina store up bath water and then release it at some time after you have gotten out of the bath (usually just after you have put clean pyjamas on)? Or do I just have a massive fanny?
Mine does Blush
Daisy62 · 03/02/2021 21:24

Breastfeeding aversion & agitation is a thing and might be linked to the sad feelings some people have talked about.

Unexpected milk production after stopping breastfeeding is usually normal but not always - get advice if it's a lot of milk.

GabsAlot · 03/02/2021 21:24

hairy nipples and breasts starting to get a fgood few going now and hairy chin which i pluck i love pluckng

Cbd333 · 03/02/2021 21:24

Can't believe I'm writing this - when I have my period and do a poo or an urgent wee (like if I'm in a hurry) my tampax often falls out too. Is this just me? Also no matter how much I try and hold the string out of the way when I wee it will get a bit wet and then Make my pants wet too. Oh god 🙈🙈🙈

GlitterInMySoul · 03/02/2021 21:25

@DuzzyFuck

Years ago when we first got our cat, some friends had got a puppy at the same time. EXH asked them one night over drinks 'Do you refer to each other as Mummy and Daddy in front of the puppy, like we do to the cat?'

Thank GOD they said yes GrinGrinGrinConfusedBlush

I do that in front of my pets too
colouringindoors · 03/02/2021 21:25

yes to sooooo many of these! javelin arse!!

GlitterInMySoul · 03/02/2021 21:26

I have a hairy chest, hairy face, arms . Pcos related, apparently..am sick of shaving my face. Wax and creams don't work. Yuk.

chestnutshell · 03/02/2021 21:26

Ooo I have one although I could definitely ask this in RL and don’t know why I haven’t.

I get a weird tangy, painful sensation through my jaw at the back when I drink the first sips of a glass of white wine or Prosecco. It fucking kills. Not the reason I don’t drink anymore but I certainly don’t miss that particular aspect.

ilovepixie · 03/02/2021 21:28

I am a larger chested lady and sometimes roll onto my boobs in bed. It hurts lol.

@torquewench

Love a good bogey rakeout, I find the best are the ones that appear after Ive had a fresh set of acrylic nails (which are also handy for said rakeout). I have a small recurring blackhead in my cleavage, every week or so I give it a good squeeze and i can get a good 2 inch long sporn out of it before I stop the pressure. I dont know where it comes from as This part is quite bony.
I have a recurring blackhead around my collarbone! Again a very strange place as its bony, it just looks like a tiny mole but every few weeks I squeeze it and so much gunk comes out...so bloody satisfying.
iamthedanger · 03/02/2021 21:31

When I have a pedicure (those were the days) I always get this really strong, twitchy urge to kick the beautician in the chin (I never have BTW!)

Itsjustaride8w737 · 03/02/2021 21:32

Did anyone have diamorphine in labour?

I occasionally still get numbness in my leg from the injection- 12 years later!
