17 weeks- The TMI Post

So how do you follow up a National Prayer Day post? Well you post a TMI (too much information) post, that's how. If you are not interested in TMI please stop reading now.

Let's talk about being 17 weeks pregnant. Let's talk about the akward parts...

How about my left nipple? That's an akward part. Suddenly in the last 2 days my nipples have grown to twice the size the started. My nose is getting an inferiority complex about the whole thing. Pointy angry dark nipples scare me. I now own two. Lucky me. Scared of my own cleavage, I think "how much worse can it get". Oh it can get worse. It can get much much worse. The left one can leak something. Granted you're not even half way done being pregnant so a leaking nipple is gross, scary AND not appropriate. It stopped now. It's a good thing. Because if it didn't I was going to resign and turn back in my chest for replacement.

How about the dragon's breath? No not morning breath. I mean the heartburn, burping and breathing flames part of my daily life. Yesterday I got heartburn from an apple. The day before that I got heartburn from toast. It's the good life I tell you. Nothing says attractive like beaching on the couch in front of you husband and belching every 5 minutes.

How about the adrenaline issue? Oh what you haven't heard about that yet have you. Did you know my body is broken. Turns out I'm making adrenaline all the time. I guess having a baby is exciting but geez!! Suddenly my flight or fight response is tripled and I'm a hormonal basket case.

Welcome to 17 weeks. I sure hope Sprout appreciates this!

I laughed so hard at this!!! I found this post of mine from when I was 12 weeks pregnant with Travis... http://tjsmommy.blogspot.com/2004/03/attack-of-areolas.html

And, the leaking? It will be back! Oh, yeah! It's colostrum. Your body is testing out the plumbing, as it were.


From: http://www.birth.com.au/class.asp?class=67&page=4

"It is possible for a woman to start producing 'colostrum' any time after about 14 to 16 weeks of the pregnancy. Colostrum is the first fluid a woman's breasts produce and is a clear or creamy-yellow substance that is syrupy in consistency. It is possible for some women to hand express colostrum from their nipples during pregnancy, or to slightly leak colostrum occasionally, especially if this is not your first baby. If you are leaking colostrum and it is becoming annoying, you may need to wear breast pads inside your bra."

I remember when I first had a nipple leak. It was at 14 weeks. I was minding my own dang business, watching tv in bed, when I felt a cool breeze on my nipples. I had soaked through my nightgown. I think I cried. A few nights later, I started to have nipple leak dreams. At one point in my dream, I locked myself in the bathroom, took off my shirt, made like I was milking a cow (I know), and started squirting. I expressed about two liters of clear liquid all over the walls. Can't tell you how weird it was to wake up after that dream and find my sheets soaked. Anyway. Sprout is grateful. They always are. The baby will return the favor in the form of thousands of infant baby cuddles and coos.
