“Baby’s moving like crazy?”
“Yes, but I don’t remember feeling everything so low last time.”
“Yeah, it’s because it’s your second. Everything’s looser in there.”
Which led me to this.
If your family is anything like mine, there’s reminders of your stretchy, stretchy uterus on the floor in every room. Especially right in front of the couch.

LOL – I read the title to this post and was all worried!
If the rest of me has to be saggy, it’s nice to know that I at least still have a perky uterus going for me

If only that happened for the man’s penis, too.

@Avitable, as opposed to the woman’s penis, of course.

@Avitable, You want a big, floppy, stretched out penis? Does not seem attractive, even given we are talking about a penis.

@Michele, no to the floppy, but increased in size and girth? Sure.

Ha! With my second, I kept telling my doc the baby was HUGE. He kept telling me it just felt that way because my uterus had stretched. She weighed 10 lbs, 4 oz … no wonder it was stretched!

Ever see those jumbo Christmas stockings that Pottery Barn sells? That was me in this scenario.

Ha ha! Everything is looser and in my case a little more painful. It is SO worth it though!

Oh lord. don’t tell me this.
Eddie was breach for almost ALL of his womb-time. His feet were always all up in my bladder and lady bits.
I am doomed if they just keep getting lower.
doomed.

@Katie, I worried I’d pop Addie’s head every time I crossed my legs.
I’ll let you know how it goes this time around.

My childbirth prep teacher brought a stove pipe to our first class in order to help me better visualize my uterus.
I like yours better.

Also in the undesirable “After” category: My OB said that after childbirth, you basically walk around 1cm dilated. Always. Nice, huh?

@Kim, No. Filed away in the “not nice” category. In fact, filed in the “eww, don’t tell my husband” category.

Our stretchy uterus spot is on the floor next to my husbands side of the bed. I once did a test to see how many pairs of uteruses would pile up before he did something about them. I think I got to ten and gave up. OH WELL!
By Holly on 01.10.11 3:41 pm | Permalink
Oh boy, thanks for that visual. I had wondered why everything felt lower this time too. Now I know!

Well we can chalk that up to one reason to be thankful for infertility – my uterus will always be lovely and tiny.
Of course, the adoption stress eating I’ve been doing means that I still have the weight gain and stretch marks but hey, I’m “birthing” two toddlers. Seems reasonable, right?

I don’t know that you should trust curly gray mullet guy with his words of wisdom regarding baby #2 and stretchy stuff. Remember that part where I called for his head on a platter? Number 2, and for a reason. I’ll tell you after Mozzi is out and about.

Also I am tired of my family leaving uteruses in between the sections of the couch.
