Pregnancy's Best Kept Secrets

well-medicated

The orgasms I used to have in my sleep, I would have them everynight, it was fab I had read that it can happen while pregnant, but for it to actually be true was amazing. I would wake up at the end of each one, flushed, happy and feeling great.

You lucky sod!!

ooobedoo

I think that is the best thing they say can happen....becoming like a mad rabbit when pregnant......before my son was born I was kept in for the last 6 days as my DS was sideways, I think my husband was happy as I left him alone..it can't be normal to want sex 3 times a day can it??:p The poor bloke was knackered

I would be interested to hear if anyone else had this, or if it is as rare as they say.

No one told me that some of the sack like thingy that covers the baby can stay in you, without going into details, use your imaginations, lets just say one day, a few days after giving birth, I noticed 'something' hanging out of me, I pulled it and felt something pull inside.

I was terrified my womb was going to fall out sooooooo I said nothing until my midwife came, I showed her and told her I thought I was having a prolapse.

She laughed and said it was part of that cowl thingy and nothing to worry about.

I have read book after book and that is never mentioned. That is the scariest thing I have ever read :eek: :eek: :eek:

Im worried about having another baby mind you, my last birth was awful, worse than the first, and the afterpains were horrific.
Does anyone know whether these pains will come with a 3rd or is it anyones guess:eek:

Scottish-Diva, so sorry to say that the afterpains are worse with each baby because the womb has got more shrinking to do. It gets stretched a little more every time.

After baby number 4 the afterpains were something else! (And worse during breastfeeds. I had sore nipples anyway because it was like trying to feed a baby crocodile, so not a good combo. I used to get ready for a feed by first finding something for me to bite down on, to get through the pain.)

But for some silly reason, I've been reading through this thread with a big daft grin on my face Well done to all the fellow-survivors!

The only probs i had were constipation grrr!!
Only put on 3lb the whole pregnancy, thus meaning i didnt have to buy rediculously big clothes well basically wore the same stuff as when i was 'without child'
had a c-section (which was horrible) after 14 hours of labour - found out DS head was resting on my hips, which is why i wanted to pull my legs off at every contraction, the pain was excruciating from the first one and they were 5 mins apart after the first half hour of getting my first one.
went home 2 days later, was healed within 2 weeks, driving going out and about, got crappy stretchmarks but only on the middle of my tummy, didnt get piles, heartburn, nothing, 2 days after having DS my stomach was flat - cant say the same applies now though!
I did go into premature labour at 31 weeks but they managed to stop it.
