Your most embarrassing symptoms...

[vampybear]

What would you say are your most embarrassing symptoms from being pregnant so far?

Think mine is more wind and the smell of it is just out of this world!

OMG i totally agree with you on that one!! It's soooo embarrassing! and gross! lol x

 

[sunbaby777]

Oh yeah. That's the most embarrassing by far. I have to do a lot of squatting and bending with one of my jobs (at the library), and I am so afraid I'm going to lose control. With my luck, someone will be in the aisle!

Well deffo the wind thing but you know with this whole increase in CM well I like to changey knickers like twice a day to keep fresh & my OH bless him does most of the laundry....& he's still ummm getting used to washing so much more of my undies! I've started wearing panty-liners so he doesn't get it so much! Lol! Mind you I am not all that embarassed by it as it is part of pregnancy but he does struggle a bit bless him!!! Xx

I seem to have an "off smell" down there. I thought maybe I had some sort of infection but I don't according to the doctor so I have no idea what it is! But all I know is, I live in dresses and I can always smell it that and the trumping, I can hold it all day but once I fall asleep I unleash on poor OH

 

[AFwife77]

Ugh, burping like no other.. I have no idea where all that wind came from!

 

[redokapi]

I have developed really bad acne on my back

It is really depressing because there is not much I can do about it but it is stopping me from wanting to go swimming.

Ditto!

Mine is definitely burping... all the time, so embarrassing. I was having a really serious conversation with my ex partners mother over the phone and burped so loudly... then pretended it never happened. Very awkward silence. haha!

nnnooooo dont hold that gas in, it does not do your tummy, and i imagine ur baby, any good!
let it all out, its only natural!

 

[jenp86]

Oh goodness definitely the gas.... from both ends... It's horrible!!

 

[geckorachel]

Agreed - the burping and gas!!! And getting really bad spots on my back but now since week 6 the urge to throw up in my bin under the desk at work!!! That will be very bad once it happens....x

 

[FayA]

does anyone know if the gas actually gets better or will it be like this for the whole nine months?? lol x

 

[StephanieB]

I have been sweating like a mad woman! Especially after a long walk to a different building on campus for class...whew! It takes me a good ten minutes to cool down!

 

[AliciaDA]

I burp soooo much now, it's horrible! lol!

 

[xAmiixLouisex]

Not sure if anyone's said this, But the constant erm.. 'wetness' down there. Sometimes I can actually feel it and go to the bathroom to check it's not blood!

And deffo the cold sores. I think they look terrible, and as bad as it sounds.. when I used to see people with them I used to wonder what they'd been doing or if they'd even been washing their face! (Judgemental I know). Now, I have big manky ones, maybe it's karma. LOL.

 

[Iwant2beamum]

I find the bloat hardest to deal with. One of my friends was really looking at it and she doesn't know I'm pregnant and I felt like she thought I was putting weight on. Was horrible. I'm burping loads but i do anyway haha! Now they are just louder and bigger haha!

Super fast growing leg hair.. I have to shave twice as often now.
