TMI I feel so gross lately

[speckledfrog]

I'm finally at a point where my bump is a bump and not just extra thickness around the middle and that has been nice, but between the pimples, the farts, and the out of control bush I'm sporting south of the border I am feeling so gross lately.  Blerg.  Anyone else not feeling so cute?

Yes I feel huge, I have stretch marks that get worse each day, I am swollen, and it hurts to walk. Enjoy 20 weeks...because the 3rd tri is no joke. lol

I'm there with you too. I have never had heartburn until I got pregnant, and now I can't eat anything without feeling terrible. I really need to get something better than Tums.

Yes, I've felt huge and gross for several weeks now - I miss the end of the second tri/beginning of the third when I felt amazing! I also discovered stretch marks on just one side the other day, that seemingly came up over night. I made it so far without them, too. Oh well.

sh10, you can take Zantac 150mg twice a day if you need to. I held out for the longest time, and recently had cut back to once a day, but my reflux has been worse than ever lately and taking it twice is the only thing that helps now, especially for sleeping.

I'm a disaster. My maternity clothes aren't even fitting. Add the flatulence, exhaustion, and swampiness and I feel like something out of a 1950's horror flick.

I went to the store last week to purchase just 3 items. Colace, pantyliners, and nursing pads. Talk about bringing sexy back.

Thanks ladies, I will be getting some Zantac today!

Yup. I'm with you. And the swamp vag isn't helping either.

Yes, swamp crotch is the WORST.

It also means I have to do laundry ALL THE TIME. I used to wear some of my pants (cords/jeans) twice before washing.. not anymore!  STINKY. Blah.  And it's not like I have that many pairs laying around!    

This is comforting to know its not just me. I used to be able to wear pants several times and if I was just around the house not even shower every day. Now everything needs washed and I have to shower all the time or I gross myself out. Hopefully I don't smell bad to other people!

Ugh, yes...I am in this same boat.  My midwife said that the number one complaint she gets from pregnant woman is the swamp crotch!!  Its horrible.  And only gets worse the further along you get!

I have started wearing pantiliners all the time. I keep wipes and deodorant in the bathroom and shower twice some days. It doesn't even matter! aaargh

This is me. Plus the hairy belly, and the rogue dark hair on my boob! Eww
