Omg. Rofl. My bf is like, "what?! What?" what's so funny?!" I am dyyyying over here. I also vote no to all those things, and would like to sign myself up for that taint massage, starting today.

LOL! I said that at prenatal yoga tonight when the instructor was like "most people start at 37 weeks"...oh yea, well ill just start tonight, thanks! Lol

Anything special you use doing that? Like is there something on amazon listed under "lotion for self massage of perineal"? Or is this something I can use olive oil on?

 

[wavescrash]

You can use baby oil. I believe you can also use coconut oil so I'd imagine olive oil is safe as well. Just googled to check and found this, "Use almond or coconut oil, or a water-based lubricant such as KY Jelly, during the massage. Don’t use a petroleum-based lubricant."

The italian in me wants to reach for the olive oil, but I'm pretty sure any kind of coconut oil etc would be fine too. Just nothing irritating or with additives that might cause infection.

I think you'll get nice coverage with a spray can of olive oil...crisco maybe? I have a misto....I bet the have a continuous spray version that you can use from all angles too....it'll make it easier when we all get to fat to reach...

 

[TTCaWee1]

I'm still going to rub mine. Just in case....

 

[HWPG]

"hey babe, why do our sheets smell like cookies?" - "I used PAM to rub the spot right in front of my bum. It's fine."

 

[TTCaWee1]

You got gum in your hair...crisco. Husbands got scaly feet...crisco. Need to stretch your vagina? Crisco.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Yeah and they thought preseed was nice....wait till you spray a little Pam on it...

 

[frsttimemama]

LMAO you ladies are cracking me up tonight! Gosh, the things we do to get babies.. rubbing our hoohas with Crisco? Check that off the bucket list I guess.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Bahahaaa good thing DH is upstairs bc I prob look like a weirdo laughing to myself thinking of all the things in my kitchen we could use to grease it up....

 

[HWPG]

Omg. Love you gals! Lol-ing.... OH isn't laughing as hard. He doesn't get it. Big adjustments coming his way!

 

[asmcsm]

Lmao! you girls are killing me!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

LOL just caught up!!!! You ladies are too funny.

Rachel - Congrats! A girl!!

I was hoping for a girl too, I wonder if it's possible for us all to have girls. haha

So although I have an anterior placenta, I've felt Leah move quite a bit at night the last few weeks. Well the last 24+ hours I only felt 1 kick/movement. This morning I felt a few light flutters before getting out of bed but I'm still a bit worries that I felt virtually nothing yesterday. I see the midwife at my OB's office today so I'm wondering if I should bring it up or not.

 

[HWPG]

you should absolutely bring it up.

You girls are so funny...but in all seriousness I'm TERRIFIED of ripping. It has by far surpassed my old fear of pooping during labor (I have a weird poop phobia)...I'm too scared to do a water birth at home for my first baby but if I can find a hospital with a tub in the birthing room I will definitely be exploring that as an option.

Waves, I definitely think you should bring that up. I was watching youtube channels of pregnancy vlogs and I learned that you should really pay attention to kick counts toward the end of your pregnancy (i know your not near the end yet lol)...it wont hurt to bring it up! good luck.

cassidy, if i have a girl, would you make this special for me?
