Speaker 1: We acknowledged the traditional custodians of the land we're recording
Speaker 1: on today.
Speaker 2: It got worse.
Speaker 1: I was like laying on the tiles basically screaming, and
Speaker 1: I said to him.
Speaker 2: You have to call an ambulance.
Speaker 1: Go because there is nothing that I can do that
Speaker 1: is making this pain go away. Like I am starting
Speaker 1: to panic because I can't get a handle on the pain.
Speaker 1: I was like, it's not a good pain. It's a
Speaker 1: bad pain.
Speaker 2: Hello, and welcome back to Eat, Sleep, Shit, Repeat, a
Speaker 2: wildly unhinged podcast about the madness that is motherhood and
Speaker 2: everything in between.
Speaker 1: I'm Kelly McCarran and I'm Key Resells. And Monday happened
Speaker 1: to be our Kingshitter's birthday.
Speaker 2: Oh yes it whah. I am now at the same
Speaker 2: age as you, so you are no longer older and wiser.
Speaker 2: No comeback for that, abosltly, no come back? All right,
Speaker 2: come back? Well what are we talking about today? Today's
Speaker 2: episode is a bit of a funny one. We've covered
Speaker 2: some pretty heavy thing but drenched them in humor. And
Speaker 2: there is no better way to kick things off than
Speaker 2: a tale about your pit involving an awful lot of
Speaker 2: packed pooh oh.
Speaker 1: God forgot about this. So last week we spoke about
Speaker 1: your hospital and.
Speaker 2: We click baited, we click baited a little bit and
Speaker 2: someone else being in the hospital the exact same time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: sosent represented the go go anyone else in there at
Speaker 2: the same time. Oh my god. It was actually wild
Speaker 2: to hear that.
Speaker 1: You were like I called you being like, hey, I'm
Speaker 1: in hospital, and you're like so was I. Anyway, let
Speaker 1: me take you back. I woke up on a couple
Speaker 1: of Saturdays ago. Charlie has had such a bad back
Speaker 1: since Europe, just with all of the lifting and carrying
Speaker 1: that he had to do because I was pregnant, and
Speaker 1: he woke up with terrible back pain. We've been back
Speaker 1: for about a week, and I said, I'll get up
Speaker 1: with Rue. We'll make pancakes. You know, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be like good mom Aaras Smith exactly, Glenorousmith.
Speaker 2: And then we poured the butter into the pan. Anyway
Speaker 2: of this, so I said wait one minute, and they.
Speaker 1: But so we made pancakes and Rue loved it. I
Speaker 1: was like yeah, and then kind of sat down to
Speaker 1: watch cartoons or something on TV, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I kind of need to do a little poo. So
Speaker 1: I decided that I would go and do that and
Speaker 1: started to you know, push, and then I started to
Speaker 1: get really really hot.
Speaker 2: It was like a cold sweat.
Speaker 1: So I stripped off, like completely naked on the loo
Speaker 1: and then I was like, oh oh, I felt like
Speaker 1: my blood pressure had dropped, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: need to like lay down. So then I lay down
Speaker 1: on the tiles of the bathroom.
Speaker 2: Flooring better when you're feeling that dizzy, and those cold
Speaker 2: tiles so nice and even like when you're prenant on
Speaker 2: your bellies.
Speaker 1: And then this pain all of a sudden started and
Speaker 1: it was a really sharp pain.
Speaker 2: It was constant.
Speaker 1: I did not get a reprieve from it, and it
Speaker 1: felt like something inside of my stomach had twisted.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to move positions to see if the pain.
Speaker 2: Eases, like just to pain. E run a picture Charlie's
Speaker 2: in bed, You're naked on the tiles.
Speaker 1: Rus watching TV.
Speaker 2: Thank God, what did we do without TV?
Speaker 1: Honestly, honestly, And then I'm just like, oh, oh, God
Speaker 1: or God, and like, I have had some pretty intense
Speaker 1: pain with this pregnancy, and my obstetrician who I'm no
Speaker 1: longer working with, but we'll get to that in a
Speaker 1: couple of episodes.
Speaker 2: She had said that her Bye Mike, she had said.
Speaker 1: That I have really tight ligaments and that ligament pain
Speaker 1: can be excruciating, and said that that's what my pain
Speaker 1: had been. And I'd already been to hospital once with
Speaker 1: this pain. This was not the same pain and a
Speaker 1: completely different spot. This was on my lower left where
Speaker 1: my digestive system is. So we're piecing it together. But
Speaker 1: I had thought maybe the this is ligament pain, and
Speaker 1: so with that, I got myself up off the tiles
Speaker 1: and I went and got into bed, thinking, okay, I
Speaker 1: just need to kind of let it pass.
Speaker 2: Is Charlie still sleeping.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's still sleeping. I get into bed and I'm like, oh, babe, bye.
Speaker 1: I am like not well, like something's going on.
Speaker 2: I've got really bad pain.
Speaker 1: And then I just started moaning from the pain because
Speaker 1: I did not have a reprieve and it was like
Speaker 1: a ten on the pain scale. Right, I feel like
Speaker 1: my pain tolerance is a lot higher than it used
Speaker 1: to be. And it scared me because this did not stop,
Speaker 1: and I could not get into any position and I
Speaker 1: was just like, oh my god, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And then Ruth.
Speaker 1: Started coming in and she's like mommy, mommy, trying to
Speaker 1: calm me. But I was like, Charlie, you've got to
Speaker 1: get her away because I need to focus on whatever
Speaker 1: this is. She's like, okay, I'll take her out and
Speaker 1: just like let me know if it gets worse. He
Speaker 1: didn't make it out the door because basically it got worse.
Speaker 1: I ran back to the bathroom. I tried to push again.
Speaker 1: That didn't work. I was like laying on the tiles,
Speaker 1: basically screaming, and I said to him, you have to
Speaker 1: call an ambulance because there is nothing that I can
Speaker 1: do that is making this pain go away. Like I
Speaker 1: am starting to panic because I can't get a handle
Speaker 1: on the pain. I was like, it's not a good pain,
Speaker 1: it's a bad pain. So he called the ambulance and
Speaker 1: thank god, it was like two female paramedics arrived.
Speaker 2: Because I was like, we still butt naked. I was butt.
Speaker 1: Naked on the floor in the weirdest position. Like they
Speaker 1: saw it all right.
Speaker 2: They would have seen it before, and they were so nice.
Speaker 1: I would just like ask me all the questions, you know,
Speaker 1: and they came really quickly because obviously the triples are on.
Speaker 1: Knew that I was pregnant and we weren't sure what
Speaker 1: the pain was, so that was good. And then they said, okay,
Speaker 1: we're going to give you the green whistle, and I
Speaker 1: was like in my head, fucking yes, I'm going to
Speaker 1: get some help here. The pain's gonna go away a
Speaker 1: green whistle. It's an inhaler and they're green, that's why
Speaker 1: they get it. The actual name is metha methioxi fluorine
Speaker 1: and it's a non addictive, non narcotic, and it's very
Speaker 1: safe to use, so it beats out other analgesics such
Speaker 1: as nitrous oxide and morphine in that it's fast acting,
Speaker 1: so it is instant. But do you reckon it did anything?
Speaker 2: And you were like, no, betting. You were sucking on
Speaker 2: that green whistle like you suck.
Speaker 1: And the thing is She's like, it's going to taste
Speaker 1: a bit gross, and so I couldn't even like inhale
Speaker 1: it to begin.
Speaker 2: I was like coughing up.
Speaker 1: So I was like, oh my god, this fucking thing
Speaker 1: on TV. They make it look so good. Just chemicals,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, chemically gas anyway, so I make it down my.
Speaker 2: Thirty eight stairs, which can.
Speaker 1: You imagine in a ten pain because I've got to
Speaker 1: get out of the apartment. I would have thought they
Speaker 1: stretched you if I had been completely immobile, Yes, but
Speaker 1: it was too dramatic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm like walking.
Speaker 1: I mean I thought they were going to but when
Speaker 1: I realized we were walking, I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: keep it moving, keep it moving.
Speaker 2: I hope you put clothes on. Yeah. They were like, okay,
Speaker 2: so let's get dressed. I was like, yeah, let's get dress.
Speaker 2: It's so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: After I got down the third eight steps and took
Speaker 1: this giant step into the ambulance, I'm like laying there.
Speaker 1: By this time, the adrenaline's kicked in and I'm like
Speaker 1: shivering and shaking and trying to suck on this green thing.
Speaker 1: And like it's also a bit trafficky because it's a
Speaker 1: Saturday morning.
Speaker 2: To get the sirens on. They didn't have the sirens
Speaker 2: on because they know it's not but I come on,
Speaker 2: you're in pain and you're pregnant. I would use your light.
Speaker 2: I would have loved that.
Speaker 1: So they take me to ed at the Royal and
Speaker 1: this is the thing, right, they get me out, we're
Speaker 1: walking into ED and then they're like, oh no, no,
Speaker 1: she's pregnant. You have to take her to the Royal
Speaker 1: Women's Hospital.
Speaker 2: They're all bloody joined.
Speaker 1: It's so confusing. So then I had to walk all
Speaker 1: the way back to the ambulance and we had to
Speaker 1: know with the paramedics.
Speaker 2: And then we had to drive to the around the corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they stretched me. I was in a stretcher,
Speaker 1: so that was fine.
Speaker 2: Year.
Speaker 1: So they stretched me to ED and they're like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: You've got to go to the delivery suite. So then
Speaker 1: they Richard me there and I.
Speaker 2: Was just saying he would have been panicking at that point,
Speaker 2: like I'm not ready to deliver. Oh I know. And
Speaker 2: actually when I called Charlie, I'm.
Speaker 1: Like, I'm in a delivery sweet. I didn't give details
Speaker 1: because I wasn't thinking about that. But he gets to
Speaker 1: eat in They're like, oh, she's in the delivery suite
Speaker 1: and the guy's like in the lift with him taking
Speaker 1: him there, like one of the nurses and he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: so big day having a baby, and Charlie's just like,
Speaker 1: I hope not. I couldn't even speak so concerned about
Speaker 1: you know, whether like we can't have a baby, like
Speaker 1: it's way too early.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I get to the delivery suite, the midwives
Speaker 1: come in and they're kind of treating everything and just
Speaker 1: doing a once over, like my belly. They're like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: your belly's nice and soft, so we're not too worried
Speaker 1: about baby. We'll do a dop bler to check the heartbeat.
Speaker 1: Heartbeats all good. We're going to give you some pain relief.
Speaker 1: And I was like, fuck yes. By then, it's probably
Speaker 1: been an hour of this pain. And they're like, we'll
Speaker 1: give you some codeine because that's pretty much all we're
Speaker 1: comfortable with giving you while you're pregnant. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't have codine, like honestly, like I had that
Speaker 1: really bad migraine at the beginning of the pregnancy and
Speaker 1: codine did basically fuck all. So but gradually I take
Speaker 1: the coding because obviously I'm in a lot of pain.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So by them when they're like feeling my bows and
Speaker 1: being like oh wow, okay, it feels like you're quite
Speaker 1: backed up, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Oh so they've diagnosed you by this point.
Speaker 1: Well, they've done a check and they've felt my bows
Speaker 1: and they can feel where it's tender. They're like, there's
Speaker 1: this tender and it's only tender on one side. They're like,
Speaker 1: we can feel it, we can feel it, but will
Speaker 1: wait till the doctor comes or whatever to do the
Speaker 1: actual diagnosis. They're like, we're not worried about baby, but
Speaker 1: when did you last do a movement? And I said, oh, well, I.
Speaker 2: Love the language that they use. Can they not just
Speaker 2: say shit?
Speaker 1: Yeah? When do you take a big shit?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well it had been a while and when I thought
Speaker 1: about the frequency of my bow movie.
Speaker 2: You don't often think like, it's not like you notes
Speaker 2: down your poos right well, and if you weren't feeling
Speaker 2: uncomfortable up until that point, well that's the thing.
Speaker 1: And typically I have I'm not a good power and
Speaker 1: I have a really lazy bow. So for me to
Speaker 1: go once a week is actually pretty normal. They had
Speaker 1: given me the gas.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 1: When I got there, the gas was amazing. It just
Speaker 1: took the edge off. But then before the doctors came,
Speaker 1: they said, okay, so the doctors want you to stop
Speaker 1: using the gas because we need you to be coherent
Speaker 1: when they're here to you.
Speaker 2: Basically weren't responding in any sentence.
Speaker 1: No, I was high as a kite and I was
Speaker 1: fucking loving it.
Speaker 2: Yeah that much.
Speaker 1: I can still feel the pain, but it took the
Speaker 1: edge off. And then as soon as I stopped the gas,
Speaker 1: the pain was back and forth. Anyway, So we got
Speaker 1: through that, got through to concert with the doctor. I'm
Speaker 1: taking them of a cole. I talk about six sashets.
Speaker 1: I've taken the laxatives and at some point I fall
Speaker 1: asleep for a few hours.
Speaker 2: Awake up about.
Speaker 1: Six pm and nothing had come out by this point
Speaker 1: by any means, but I think it had kind of
Speaker 1: got things going anyway. They're like, yep, doctors don't need
Speaker 1: to see you with just double checked the happy for
Speaker 1: you to be discharged.
Speaker 2: I was like, amazing.
Speaker 1: We start to get out of bed and I'm like
Speaker 1: just getting dressed again, and then i feel a faint
Speaker 1: bit of pain and I'm like it's okay.
Speaker 2: It's fine, it's awkwod, don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: Say goodbye to the midwives. One of the midvies was
Speaker 1: so cute. She wrote me like a little thing like
Speaker 1: warm limb and water with every meal, like stewed fruits.
Speaker 1: So she was like you know you need to do this.
Speaker 1: This is really going to help prepare. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, so the birthing Sweet to the emergency department,
Speaker 1: which is where Charlie parked, is probably a ten minute walk,
Speaker 1: and it's just like down in the lifts across down
Speaker 1: in another set of lifts. At the end of that
Speaker 1: ten minute walk, I was hunched over and Charlie's like,
Speaker 1: you wait here, I'll take Rudy to.
Speaker 2: Get the car.
Speaker 1: The car was five minutes away, like in the garage.
Speaker 1: And in that five minutes, I had walked myself back
Speaker 1: into ED and I just said to them, Hey, I've
Speaker 1: just been discharged, but do you mind if I just
Speaker 1: sit here. I'm not feeling very well. My pain I
Speaker 1: think is coming back, and could you get me some water?
Speaker 1: And he was like, yep, absolutely. Anyway, in the two
Speaker 1: minutes that it took for him to come out from
Speaker 1: behind the glass, I had started vomiting.
Speaker 2: I was on all fours, so I was on my knees.
Speaker 2: Was it a pack to ED?
Speaker 1: It wasn't as packed as I've seen it, but there
Speaker 1: were people. People were like, are you okay?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, God, the drama I know I.
Speaker 1: Was on my knees vomiting into a bag. This nurse
Speaker 1: comes out and she says, do you have a virus
Speaker 1: like a U okay? And I said no, no, no virus.
Speaker 1: And she's like, are you in pain? And I said yes,
Speaker 1: I'm in pain. And I was like, I've just been discharged,
Speaker 1: and so she like and I put my wrist out
Speaker 1: and she like scander it or whatever. Anyway, they basically
Speaker 1: took me and readmitted me. So I got admitted into
Speaker 1: the emergency department.
Speaker 2: And short stay.
Speaker 1: Not having short stay, this was like the examination area, okay.
Speaker 1: So I went in there and by this time, so
Speaker 1: Charlie had come with Ruber.
Speaker 2: He's like, where'd you go? She's like, shit it Charlie
Speaker 2: come heah? Is that her?
Speaker 1: I am streaming like from the pain on all shill chills.
Speaker 2: I'm like to Charlie, do something.
Speaker 1: You have to help me, like you have to make
Speaker 1: them help me, like this has like been twelve hours
Speaker 1: at this point, like with a little bit of you know,
Speaker 1: what's through doing. She looked concerned the whole time, because
Speaker 1: I was just like, fuck, this is probably gonna star.
Speaker 2: And I know if kids are psychopass, she probably would
Speaker 2: have thought it was funny and you were playing a game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so true. But there was this really cool doctor
Speaker 1: on the ward and he said, was it doctor Matt?
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was.
Speaker 1: That's the thing.
Speaker 2: I don't photo. Oh you've got a photo, of course
Speaker 2: I do. I love him.
Speaker 1: Shut up, that's so funny. I didn't take any photos,
Speaker 1: and helpless I had take a photo. I just googled him, like.
Speaker 2: Okay, that gay, we'll look at that. So so basically they.
Speaker 1: Come in and he's like, we're gonna get you pain relief.
Speaker 2: And basically it sounds like doctor Matt. I reckon, it's
Speaker 2: doctor Matt. It does.
Speaker 1: And in two seconds, this amazing female doctor comes in
Speaker 1: and she's like, so, what's happened today? And I said,
Speaker 1: I cannot talk Charlie.
Speaker 2: So he quickly told her and are you cranky at
Speaker 2: this point? No, I wasn't.
Speaker 1: Cranky at this point. I was calm. I was calm
Speaker 1: because I'd been helped.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but as you said, it's been twelve hours, you're
Speaker 2: still there.
Speaker 1: Nothing's moved, nothing's moved, and I'm just like, I just
Speaker 1: don't want to feel pain. I was just tired anyway.
Speaker 1: So She's like, Okay, we're going to put an r
Speaker 1: iv in and we're going to give you morphine. And
Speaker 1: it was like music to my ears because morphine is
Speaker 1: just fucking an instant.
Speaker 2: You know. Wait, can I just quickly show you? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: show me. That is him. I'm not even kidding.
Speaker 1: That is him. He is the one who was like,
Speaker 1: we are getting you pain relief. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: actually could cry that to find Doctor Matt and just
Speaker 1: tell him that he is the best doctor in the
Speaker 1: whole world. He was the only one who saw me
Speaker 1: as a person in pain, I say, and.
Speaker 2: The only one that actually cared for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, and I get it. We do care
Speaker 1: about the baby, but at this point it had been
Speaker 1: so long. So yeah, after he was like, we're going
Speaker 1: to get your pain relief, she came in, had to
Speaker 1: quick chat with Charlie. But as she's chatting with Charlie,
Speaker 1: she's putting a canula into my veins and within I
Speaker 1: reckon less than ten minutes, I got a dose of morphine. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it was instant, and I just lay there being
Speaker 1: like this is good. This is like the best I
Speaker 1: felt all day. And then Dr Matt now we know
Speaker 1: it's doctor Matt, which is fucking insanems and he goes,
Speaker 1: no one should be in that amount of pain.
Speaker 2: That's not okay, are you talking about this? I knew
Speaker 2: that you must be talking about my maid, so that
Speaker 2: our saviors were the same guy. I'll save you well,
Speaker 2: you know what. It's also someone will know.
Speaker 1: We need to send him a bunch of flower saying
Speaker 1: how are you.
Speaker 2: Doctor Matt da You do not remember us, but we
Speaker 2: actually have a podcast together and we're in this hospital
Speaker 2: on the same weekend, and you helped both of us
Speaker 2: when not really listening to us.
Speaker 1: And I also just I could hear the consults that
Speaker 1: he was doing and he was kind, so kind, so kind, calm.
Speaker 2: And acting Director Prince of Wales Emergency Department. What a legend.
Speaker 2: Why do I know that donuts? Yeah? Have I googled
Speaker 2: him extensively since yes you have?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, shout out to him. If anyone knows the
Speaker 1: moves listening, just let him know you've got two fangals.
Speaker 2: Honestly, just like it makes such a difference when someone
Speaker 2: shows you that bit of compassion, and yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 2: That's so weird though, that we're both talking about this.
Speaker 2: I know what are the cancels.
Speaker 1: So I got the morphine and by then it's probably
Speaker 1: like a thirty and I just said to Charlie like, look,
Speaker 1: you go home. There's no point and you're staying here
Speaker 1: with Rue, like you go home. So they left and
Speaker 1: I was like kind of relieved because I was like,
Speaker 1: you guys have been there the whole day, and.
Speaker 2: Ru was so good.
Speaker 1: She just was so chill the whole day. When I slept,
Speaker 1: she had a little sleep with me on the bed.
Speaker 1: I sent you the phone.
Speaker 2: It's actually so sadly. It's not cute, it's sad. It's
Speaker 2: really sad anyway.
Speaker 1: So then they were kind of like, all right, we're
Speaker 1: going to move you to short Stay soon, and we
Speaker 1: need you to do about movement before you leave.
Speaker 2: Once again, because we need you to say.
Speaker 1: We need you to shit, we we.
Speaker 2: Need you to move that pooh, we gotta go.
Speaker 1: So they moved me to short Stay and I said,
Speaker 1: am I going to be here overnight? And they said, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're going to be here every night, so prepare for that.
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, so cool, Chyler that tomorrow
Speaker 1: it's all good. And the morphine it lasted so long,
Speaker 1: like I was like, I'm sitting in burd being like
Speaker 1: I'm cured, Like the pain, what pain is gone?
Speaker 2: It's completely gone.
Speaker 1: I'm so fine now, mother, cool, Yeah, I'll take another
Speaker 1: sashet mabicore give it to me.
Speaker 2: How many sachets have you had at this point?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: So many?
Speaker 1: I reckon I had twelve, supply, it was so much.
Speaker 1: They were kept checking on me, how have you done
Speaker 1: a pooh? And I'm like, nothing is moving. Nothing's moving.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you anyway. So I
Speaker 1: go to sleep and I'm like, well, hopefully something gets
Speaker 1: moving in the morning.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And then I wake up at four twenty two and
Speaker 1: the pain is faint, and I go to the bathroom
Speaker 1: because I'm like, maybe the pain is good pain signal.
Speaker 2: Hey, go to the toilet.
Speaker 1: Tried no, So I knew that I probably had a
Speaker 1: space of ten to fifteen minutes for them to get
Speaker 1: some pain relief ready for me. Otherwise I was going
Speaker 1: to be in pain again, because that's how quickly it
Speaker 1: came on after lad I had that big rest. So
Speaker 1: I go back to my bed, I ring the buzzer
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, my pain's coming back. Can I
Speaker 1: please have some pain relief? And they're like, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1: We need to get the doctor to come and see
Speaker 1: you to talk to you about that, and they'll like
Speaker 1: write up the pain relief. So it wasn't too long
Speaker 1: after that the attending came.
Speaker 2: And saw me.
Speaker 1: She was really lovely. We just want to double check
Speaker 1: with the obstetrics team to make sure that they're okay
Speaker 1: with whatever we give you, and we want you to
Speaker 1: do an ultrasound and I was like, okay, cool, easy,
Speaker 1: So I wait, I wait. The obstetrics team come, they
Speaker 1: do another little scan. Babies all good.
Speaker 2: Can they see the pooh?
Speaker 1: They can like see the mass there. Yeah, so they're like,
Speaker 1: there is a mass there, but we want to confirm
Speaker 1: it on a proper ultra sound because they've just got
Speaker 1: like a shitty one and ned and they're like, we're
Speaker 1: not going to give you any more morphine because.
Speaker 2: We've already had it.
Speaker 1: We don't want to give that to the baby. We
Speaker 1: want something a bit small, slow release, so we're going
Speaker 1: to give you end don And I was like, fine,
Speaker 1: I will take whatever you will give me as long
Speaker 1: it is is actually something that's substantial. So that was
Speaker 1: maybe like five thirty, so it's probably been an hour
Speaker 1: by then. I then waited two more hours and.
Speaker 2: To get pain relief. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1: A three hour mark. So they're all rushing around. That's fine,
Speaker 1: and one nurse came up to me and said, are
Speaker 1: you okay, like how's your pain? And I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting on the pain relief and she's like, okay,
Speaker 1: well we'll get you some morphine. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: the obstetric scene was just here and they said no
Speaker 1: morphine that they were going to give me end Don.
Speaker 1: She's like, oh, En, don't, okay, I'm gonna go get
Speaker 1: you end Don. Then she didn't come back for half
Speaker 1: an hour, so that took me to three hours. And
Speaker 1: I am in pain by this point, like I am
Speaker 1: like keeping it together, but I am in severe pain.
Speaker 1: And then the nurses start doing their handover. So I
Speaker 1: can hear the nurses doing their handover.
Speaker 2: So which isn't their fault, like of course. And then
Speaker 2: so I have.
Speaker 1: So many friends that are nurses, so much respect for them.
Speaker 1: I understand what they're doing. The short though exactly end.
Speaker 2: Of the shift.
Speaker 1: I get it, so I let them do the handover,
Speaker 1: and then after the handover was done, there was nothing.
Speaker 1: I was like, when the hell is the check in
Speaker 1: right now? I'm waiting for pain relief. And by this
Speaker 1: stage I've started.
Speaker 2: Moaning or screaming again.
Speaker 1: I need to go to the bathroom. So I'm literally
Speaker 1: attached to so they've had me on like saline, like
Speaker 1: ivy or whatever for my fluids, and I'm like inching
Speaker 1: the thing forward by and I'm walking it's like across
Speaker 1: the hallway to the bathroom. But by then I'm like screaming,
Speaker 1: so I'm like hobbling to the toilet and she's like,
Speaker 1: are you okay?
Speaker 2: Do you need help?
Speaker 1: And I was like I needed help three hours ago.
Speaker 1: I have had no pain relief. Did you say that
Speaker 1: for three hours?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I was like, good, I need to go to the bathroom. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I go to the bathroom, I come back out. I
Speaker 1: am crying, like I'm in so much pain. I'm frustrated
Speaker 1: no one is listening to me. I'm like I have
Speaker 1: reached my absolute limit of what I can physically and
Speaker 1: mentally handle it. This pain is like pain I've never experienced,
Speaker 1: way worse than my labor pain. And remember my epidural
Speaker 1: did not work during like yeah, but at least with
Speaker 1: labor like not everyone, but I had like reprieves like
Speaker 1: it would exactly. And I was like, this is fucked up.
Speaker 1: And I called Charlie.
Speaker 2: Say when you said that.
Speaker 1: Well, when she came back, I was like on the
Speaker 1: bed on all fours again because it was like the
Speaker 1: only kind of position I could get into where I
Speaker 1: could like rock back and forth. It didn't do anything,
Speaker 1: but like you know, little things are trying to help distract. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, how can I help me? And
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want you to help me.
Speaker 1: I need to have another nurse, like I have been
Speaker 1: waiting for so long.
Speaker 2: She's like, we did.
Speaker 1: Handover and I'm like, I know you did handover. I
Speaker 1: listened to you do your full handover and then I
Speaker 1: waited another half an hour for you to come, like
Speaker 1: I want a different nurse please. And then I called
Speaker 1: Charlie and I was like, I need you in the
Speaker 1: hospital right now.
Speaker 2: To help advocate for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like they're not listening to me. I need
Speaker 1: you to advocate for me, Like they're not taking me
Speaker 1: seriously with the amount of pain that I'm in The
Speaker 1: doctor came back, but it was probably about ten or
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, and it's the doctor that I saw at
Speaker 1: four thirty in the morning, and she goes, hey, are
Speaker 1: you okay? And I'm like, oh my god, I'm so
Speaker 1: relieved to see you. I'm like, I haven't had any
Speaker 1: pain relief. And she goes, you haven't had any pain
Speaker 1: relief since I saw you this morning, And I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I haven't had any pain relief since I saw you
Speaker 1: this morning. Like I was so upset and frustrated, and
Speaker 1: I just was like, thank God that this person like
Speaker 1: believes me. By then they're like, realize how long it's been.
Speaker 1: And then so what do they give me? Morphine in
Speaker 1: the canula And I'm just like so it was instant,
Speaker 1: which was fine, like, but fuck, like, and I know
Speaker 1: your short stuffed. I know that there are a million
Speaker 1: things that you're working against, but like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It just made me think, like the system is.
Speaker 2: It's so broken.
Speaker 1: And also I know statistically, as a woman of color
Speaker 1: in a hospital, well.
Speaker 2: That's what I was just thinking.
Speaker 1: I'm not always taken serious.
Speaker 2: You have dealt with racism several times, so yeah, that's
Speaker 2: like would have been upsetting as well, because you're like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be the angry black woman or
Speaker 2: the black woman that's asking for the drugs exactly.
Speaker 1: And it was a really difficult moment for me because
Speaker 1: I was like, even when I'm at my most vulnerable
Speaker 1: a pregnant woman and excruciating pain, now it's still some
Speaker 1: level of not taking me seriously. And I was just
Speaker 1: like really frustrated by that because I had been calm
Speaker 1: all the way through when I felt people were listening
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 2: But it's like I.
Speaker 1: Don't want to have to like demand a new nurse
Speaker 1: to make a point about like I need help.
Speaker 2: And I need you to take me. So what time
Speaker 2: is that?
Speaker 1: So four point thirty five, thirty six thirty seven thirty
Speaker 1: I got parently for eight am. So then they took
Speaker 1: me for the extent of ultrasound and it confirmed that
Speaker 1: the ultrasound lady was like that is a giant pooh,
Speaker 1: and I was like I'm away and she's like really
Speaker 1: good luck with that. Good luck, but baby's all okay.
Speaker 1: That was like my main thing. I kept being like,
Speaker 1: is baby Okay's baby okay?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I forgot to say in a monst that like when
Speaker 1: I'd had the morphine and the short stay and stuff,
Speaker 1: they had done three different types of enemas, so they
Speaker 1: had put like, yeah.
Speaker 2: So you've just had a moving things up your button, yeah,
Speaker 2: down your golob to try to help things move, and
Speaker 2: nothing's moving. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And by this time I've messaged my girlfriend's being like, hey,
Speaker 1: your best friends got a huge pooh stuck in her
Speaker 1: like what do you who? Were nurses who, what do
Speaker 1: you guys recommend? And one of them mentioned a fleet enema,
Speaker 1: And so I kept hearing about this fleet enema. But
Speaker 1: then the thought was maybe the pooh was up too
Speaker 1: high because the actual enemas that are kind of down
Speaker 1: in your lower boughs.
Speaker 2: Oh I forgot. Also, the doctor put.
Speaker 1: Her finger at my bum to try and break the
Speaker 1: pooh mass, but realized there's actually no poo down in
Speaker 1: my lower bow, that the obstruction's up my upper bus.
Speaker 2: So she was just fingering, you're a noose and she's like, no,
Speaker 2: there's nothing there.
Speaker 1: Ding. It was the end of her shift, and she
Speaker 1: was like, do you want me just to go in
Speaker 1: there and break it up? And I'm like, do you
Speaker 1: want to do that? Like you're just about to leave,
Speaker 1: like the fact that you've offered that to me, like
Speaker 1: she's a kind, you are a kind?
Speaker 2: No, doctor, I can't doctor. I was like yeah, And so.
Speaker 1: That was pretty confronting and uncomfortable. But the fleet anime,
Speaker 1: everyone saying it's probably not going to work because it's
Speaker 1: too far up. Imagine like a popper do you call
Speaker 1: them that? And Queensland like, do you know the little
Speaker 1: juice boxes? Y?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so imagine juice box size, not that shape,
Speaker 1: but that size basically of like salty water. It's like
Speaker 1: a saline solution and they squeeze that bottle.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So she goes, Okay, what I'm going to do with
Speaker 1: I'm going to put your bed on an angle because
Speaker 1: gravity really helps. And I said, okay, well, how long
Speaker 1: do I need to keep you know, this solution in
Speaker 1: my ears? Basically, she's just like squeezing this whole bottle
Speaker 1: of saline water up my ass and then I have
Speaker 1: to clench and hold it for as long as possible.
Speaker 1: But of course all you want to do is like
Speaker 1: push it out, push it out, because it's like anyway,
Speaker 1: She's like, well, fifteen minutes is ideal but I don't reckon,
Speaker 1: you'll get past three. And I was like, okay, well
Speaker 1: I'm going to try for three minutes, because if you're
Speaker 1: saying you don't reckon, I'm going to get to that
Speaker 1: three minutes. And yeah, I got to three minutes and
Speaker 1: I had.
Speaker 2: To hurt going in. It was just really uncomfortable, really
Speaker 2: really uncomfortable, like anything in my butt. I don't typically either,
Speaker 2: it's not my mind. I'm going to be fair in
Speaker 2: this circumstance. You're probably please.
Speaker 1: I was like, put a hose up there and suck
Speaker 1: it out literally like one of those like a colonic Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I wish that I had something like that.
Speaker 2: I did ask. I was like, do you have anything
Speaker 2: like that?
Speaker 1: No? So then I went to the bathroom, and to
Speaker 1: be honest, it was just really the water that came out.
Speaker 1: But then afterwards I felt so ill because it had
Speaker 1: basically stirred everything up, but it did what it was
Speaker 1: supposed to do, right, because that was the big thing
Speaker 1: that kind of got everything moving. And because I felt
Speaker 1: so sick, I went to sleep and then woke up
Speaker 1: like quite late, had a little bit of something to eat,
Speaker 1: and then went back to sleep overnight and I was
Speaker 1: waking up just going to the toilet and just kind
Speaker 1: of loose stool was coming out. Nothing substantial, but things
Speaker 1: were kind of slowly coming out. And then yeah, in
Speaker 1: the morning, they were like, okay, well things are moving.
Speaker 1: You've had a few movements. Now, like we're fine to
Speaker 1: discharge you. We just need you to like continue with
Speaker 1: the Well now I'm using the omnilax and the lact
Speaker 1: low so I was like taking shots of lactolos the
Speaker 1: whole time, which is like that really sweet syrupy laxative
Speaker 1: that you can give to kids too. And yeah, they
Speaker 1: sent me home and I got home and burst into
Speaker 1: tears because I was just like what the fuck that
Speaker 1: was gonna be my weekend to like prepare and get
Speaker 1: back into work, Like my first work day was meant
Speaker 1: to be the Monday, And I was just literally beside
Speaker 1: myself because I was like, this is ridiculous that I
Speaker 1: can't shit, and it's really messed up my whole life.
Speaker 2: You were in hospital for several days because you could
Speaker 2: not you were actually full of pooh exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then like eating, I was scared to eat, yeah,
Speaker 1: because you know, eating the pancakes is what brought the
Speaker 1: Pooh thing on. So I was like eating tiny, tiny
Speaker 1: bits of food and it was honestly the worst pain
Speaker 1: I've ever been in my life, and the worst like
Speaker 1: it wasn't about experience. Everyone was so lovely. Obviously there
Speaker 1: was that little annoying mix up thing in the short stay,
Speaker 1: but I was just so thankful that I was able
Speaker 1: to have help with it, because had I not have
Speaker 1: called that ambulance, I wouldn't have been able to drive
Speaker 1: there with Charlie.
Speaker 2: True, there just would be no way, Like I have
Speaker 2: you been pooped like on the rig.
Speaker 1: Well it's now a week later or two weeks, like
Speaker 1: two weeks today, and I had my first proper bowel
Speaker 1: movement where.
Speaker 2: I like pushed yesterday. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Everything else has just been like soft stool kind of
Speaker 1: coming out fine, but not anything like substantial and like together.
Speaker 1: And like the first time I had a proper one
Speaker 1: was yes Sunday. Thank God, I know, but I'm just
Speaker 1: so scared it's gonna happen again. So now I'm eating
Speaker 1: chea seeds left, right and center. I'm trying to eat
Speaker 1: lots of fibrous foods, trying to drink In fact, that's
Speaker 1: just reminded me to drink some water. But any mums
Speaker 1: out there suffering from severe constipation while you're pregnant, do
Speaker 1: not sleep on that. Like, really get yourself in a
Speaker 1: good position and get a good system going with the
Speaker 1: move cole on the lux that's my favorite because it
Speaker 1: doesn't have any kind of taste. It's so much better.
Speaker 1: And make sure that you are drinking as much water
Speaker 1: as you can. I know it's hard. I really struggle
Speaker 1: with drinking water as well, But you do not want
Speaker 1: to be in that pain.
Speaker 2: Ever, you do not as nice as doctor Matt is.
Speaker 2: You don't want to meet him. No, what's your peak?
Speaker 1: I got out of hospital on the Monday, and then
Speaker 1: it was the long weekend in New South I was,
Speaker 1: but also Queensland that following weekend, and I began the
Speaker 1: week being like, I'm not going to be out. We
Speaker 1: have planned to go to Bangalow and then my two
Speaker 1: best friends and their husbands and kids come and stay
Speaker 1: with us at the bangalo and I was just like
Speaker 1: I can't get through this, and I was really umming
Speaker 1: and hurrying about canceling it. The girls were like, if
Speaker 1: you need to cancel, that's fine, But I really wanted
Speaker 1: to see Charlie's sister and Charlie's dad, so we ended
Speaker 1: up going, and thank god we did because I feel
Speaker 1: a lot better mentally, so nice having seen them. It
Speaker 1: was just really cut feeling, like being with your friends
Speaker 1: who know you. You don't have to like say anything
Speaker 1: around like they just know, they know when to give
Speaker 1: you a bit of a heartbug.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And it was just so beautiful.
Speaker 1: The kids are playing like it was just nice, like
Speaker 1: seeing everyone together, seeing the husbands together, seeing my gorgeous
Speaker 1: sister in lawd Georgie, who's also pregnant. She's ten days
Speaker 1: behind me, so we're kind of going through this together,
Speaker 1: which is really lovely. No, she's fine. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't want to out her constipation, Allline, but she has
Speaker 1: been taking care of herself, That's what I'll say. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it was. You know, sometimes you are like,
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I've been through something really traumatic
Speaker 1: and painful.
Speaker 2: But sometimes the best thing that you can do is
Speaker 2: just power on through and then you're like, oh, you
Speaker 2: never regret doing those things exactly. Now, before we get
Speaker 2: into today's episode, we do want to acknowledge the privilege
Speaker 2: of being pregnant, and just a warning if you are
Speaker 2: struggling at the moment with your fertility, this episode might
Speaker 2: not be for you because it might seem a little
Speaker 2: bit silly and insensitive. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: Pregnancy. Many many women fall pregnant at some point in
Speaker 1: their life. Not everyone wants the pregnancy or is able
Speaker 1: to keep the pregnancy, but if we're generalizing, an awful
Speaker 1: lot of the XX population will experience it, and I
Speaker 1: am currently one of those experiencing it as I am
Speaker 1: with child.
Speaker 2: And I'm currently very glad that I am not with
Speaker 2: child because what sort of fresh hell is it where
Speaker 2: you end up in a hospital full of your own face?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 2: Shush you?
Speaker 1: So we thought we'd have a little complaint sesh today
Speaker 1: about pregnancy and all the woes we have trying to
Speaker 1: bring a charm into the.
Speaker 2: World, including almost self combusting with poop. All right, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: We've passed the pit part of it. Now it's just
Speaker 2: time to make fun of you.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, I'm slowly getting to the humor part of it.
Speaker 2: She pregnancy complaint number one. Yeah, nausea and vomiting, Yeah,
Speaker 2: what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty annoying. I didn't have that the first
Speaker 1: time around, but you bet you I've got it this time.
Speaker 2: Of course you do. Of course you do now with
Speaker 2: the toddler and toad as well.
Speaker 1: The nausea is just so insane, isn't it, Like you
Speaker 1: just constantly feel na She's like if I moved too quickly,
Speaker 1: or like I was packing for Bangalow and had a
Speaker 1: little vomb and it was just because I was bending
Speaker 1: over packing and stuff feeling nauseous.
Speaker 2: The vomiting, like never before in my life have I
Speaker 2: just vomited, Oh, different things, like even when I was
Speaker 2: past the proper morning sickness, except it's not morning sickness,
Speaker 2: it's just all day yeah sickness. We really need to
Speaker 2: update that, Like just randomly different other points of my pregnancy,
Speaker 2: I just vomit. Oh you ate too much? You tell
Speaker 2: me to full vomit. Yes, that didn't agree with you. Your
Speaker 2: vomit Yeah, like you move too weird vomit. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: very weird and most like not many people enjoy vomiting.
Speaker 2: It's very physical. It's very violent.
Speaker 1: It's so physical, isn't it, Like you're literally like.
Speaker 2: Like a catt that's gross. Every now and then I
Speaker 2: meet somewhere that's like a dainty throw opera where they
Speaker 2: just go and it comes up. Those people are violent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like my eyes are watering and popping out
Speaker 1: of my head.
Speaker 2: Mine was so bad through five to sixteen or seventeen
Speaker 2: weeks no caffeine because I was that sick. What did
Speaker 2: you do? It was awful? And so then I started
Speaker 2: taking the tablets and I had alarm set on my phone.
Speaker 2: I've got like some of the funniest, saddest videos of
Speaker 2: Luke filming me at like three and when I've said
Speaker 2: an alarm to wake up to eat something like, I
Speaker 2: had crackers and stuff next to my bed, so my
Speaker 2: tummy was never empty.
Speaker 1: I have been feeling that mine is bad, but it's
Speaker 1: never woken me up being nauseous. You about it, but yours,
Speaker 1: I think yours was really severe. I just had to
Speaker 1: like be on top top of it. And it's crazy because,
Speaker 1: like I.
Speaker 2: Mean, luckily it was during COVID, but it's wild that
Speaker 2: you're the sickest you've ever been. You can't tell people
Speaker 2: about it, you're not supposed to tell people about it.
Speaker 2: But during that period is when you're so.
Speaker 1: Sick and you're still got to work and do all
Speaker 1: of the things I.
Speaker 2: Just men could never. Men could never. I think they
Speaker 2: know that they could never complain. Number two pregnancy tidness.
Speaker 1: Well, this one I've got a real bone to pick
Speaker 1: with because first time around, didn't get that tired, like
Speaker 1: a little bit ti oh, I might have a little
Speaker 1: nap because I've got no other responsibilities. This time around,
Speaker 1: it was the most debilitating time. And I feel like
Speaker 1: it's only.
Speaker 2: Just just ease you've stopped having to need the nap. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it'll start up again. I will warn you.
Speaker 1: Well, I was just gonna say, if we have a
Speaker 1: big day doing something like in Bangalore, we had it.
Speaker 1: We went to the farm, so we just went out
Speaker 1: to the restaurant in the morning for breakfast. But it's
Speaker 1: a farm, so the kids are running around. I was
Speaker 1: a bit hot. I napped for the rest of the day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: didn't I But I never realized how debilitating the tiredness
Speaker 1: could be. It was, and the first trimester we joked
Speaker 1: about it on the podcast, like I could work from
Speaker 1: like nine till twelve, and then I would have to
Speaker 1: leave because if I didn't get home for a nap, she.
Speaker 2: Would be upset or she'd have to have a nap here,
Speaker 2: but all my.
Speaker 1: Eyes would just shut and I would be asleep. So
Speaker 1: it was really dangerous, like driving that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: I just didn't.
Speaker 1: Realize how debilitating the exhaustion could be.
Speaker 2: It's so much worse than postpartum tightness.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it hits differently, because.
Speaker 2: I think postpartum tightness is worse mentally, but physically, yeah,
Speaker 2: you just it's because you've got this human and you
Speaker 2: would just never I remember when my sister just kept
Speaker 2: saying to me, I promise you it ends as soon
Speaker 2: as you birth the baby. You're not feel this tired,
Speaker 2: Like every single bone in your body feels tired. And
Speaker 2: mine also eased up in my second trimester, but then
Speaker 2: it came back with a vengeance in tremester three. But
Speaker 2: I was working for myself and it was during lockdown. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but like literally every afternoon, you could be like you're
Speaker 2: going to field nap, yeah, and I'd go for a
Speaker 2: little nap, and I just have the best nap every
Speaker 2: afternoon because later on any pregnancy, you also can't sleep
Speaker 2: that well at nighttime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it makes sense that the afternoon nap was
Speaker 1: heaven for some reason. I could always sleep so well
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, but then at nighttime it was like
Speaker 1: tossing and turning. Insomnia, isn't it. Yeah, that's also a
Speaker 1: complaint that's coming up.
Speaker 2: So pregnancy tiredness. Oh not not happy. Complaint number three?
Speaker 2: What the fuck is sciatica? And why does my whole
Speaker 2: body hurt? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I haven't had sciatica specifically, but the whole body hurting, Like,
Speaker 1: why am I hobbling around.
Speaker 2: Because all of your joints and ligaments are moving as well.
Speaker 2: It's horrible. It's honestly like horrible. Pregnancy is absolutely wild.
Speaker 2: I used to just have to get into the on
Speaker 2: all fours to stretch out my back because that was
Speaker 2: the only comfortable position I would be in, and I
Speaker 2: got psiatica so bad in one hip, that's awful. I
Speaker 2: would literally I walked with a limp for several weeks
Speaker 2: at a time, and my friends I'd go and do
Speaker 2: the Centennial Park walk and because it was lockdown and
Speaker 2: that's what I could do, and they'd be like, you're okay,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, yep, just ignore me, just ignore me.
Speaker 2: That's not just hobbling around a Centennial Park with a
Speaker 2: big old limp pond. It was awful. Complain Number four,
Speaker 2: the huffing and the puffing.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that's already started. I noticed it
Speaker 1: on the weekend. I was very short of breath.
Speaker 2: Why why because.
Speaker 1: You sitting on my lungs smushing them, smushing them to
Speaker 1: make room for their little baby body.
Speaker 2: You don't realize that. You're like, well, yeah, like breathing
Speaker 2: is such a struggle, and you sound like an elderly
Speaker 2: man that's been smoking three packs a day.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're full up to like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: your shoulders almost.
Speaker 2: And everything's a struggle. I can't believe that people let
Speaker 2: me podcast up until the day I gave burn.
Speaker 1: I know, that was pretty funny.
Speaker 2: Why would you let someone podcast when they're like and
Speaker 2: then this, Yeah, that wasn't good. That wasn't good. The
Speaker 2: shortness of breath is not cute. Number five is constipation. Well,
Speaker 2: I think I've covered that one, haven't I just a
Speaker 2: little bit. My pooing is I'm a good poo But
Speaker 2: every single day I had to have a shot of
Speaker 2: thinking because it was just so like I was still
Speaker 2: so backed up during where pregnancy. It's a very common
Speaker 2: pregnancy symptom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so then imagine if you don't pooh normally, just
Speaker 1: he's dire literally backed out. Moving on. Complaint number six
Speaker 1: is reflux. Why am I insidees burning?
Speaker 2: I forgot about this until I was researching.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, as you started, No, it hasn't. I
Speaker 1: mean I've had like a sporadic here or there, like
Speaker 1: maybe twice.
Speaker 2: That's it. Another reason for the random vomit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: If the reflux gets too bad, it's horrible, honestly.
Speaker 1: And like I was with Beck because she's recently had
Speaker 1: a bud but in her like last trimester and she's
Speaker 1: just about to give birth, she just would stop me
Speaker 1: in conversation and grab out the old gavesol and pop
Speaker 1: one and just be like, sorry, my fucking heartburn reflex.
Speaker 2: It's so bad. It feels like something's just raising your
Speaker 2: throat burning. I used to pop those like candy. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: exactly one. It's like, no, you cannot. Next up is
Speaker 2: you're full all the time. Like you're supposed to be
Speaker 2: eating more, well, not as much as what people like
Speaker 2: to eat, but yeah, you're supposed to eat normally at least,
Speaker 2: well you're supposed to eat regularly.
Speaker 1: So I think a lot of us probably don't eat regularly,
Speaker 1: or we can skip meals if we've got a meeting
Speaker 1: or whatever.
Speaker 2: But when you're pregnant, you need to eat. But the
Speaker 2: issue is it's not a room for the food that
Speaker 2: you need. No room. I am a big eater, and
Speaker 2: I who usually could smash a pizza. Towards the end
Speaker 2: of my pregnancy, I'll never forget because it was just
Speaker 2: a horrible thing. I could eat Max two slices.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I was like a half burger, like and done.
Speaker 2: Charlie loved it. Yeah, actually he would. Luke actually probably
Speaker 2: did too, because he was always.
Speaker 1: Like seconds and I'm like, oh, And as soon as.
Speaker 2: The baby came out, I was like, give me that
Speaker 2: Jack that room again. In fact, I got some more
Speaker 2: room because my organs still haven't shifted back into please.
Speaker 2: Like sometimes I still think when I am finishing off
Speaker 2: my pizza, I still am thinking, how did you only
Speaker 2: eat two slices? Max?
Speaker 1: I mean your stomach there's just no there's no room,
Speaker 1: no room.
Speaker 2: Where are you supposed to put this food that you're eating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, it's not like the baby's taken
Speaker 1: any And.
Speaker 2: Then if you get g D. You can't eat so
Speaker 2: many different things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never had that, Thank goodness, I'm not over
Speaker 1: the hump yet. But bloody hell, that sounds stressed. No, No,
Speaker 1: I haven't done it yet.
Speaker 2: You probably know. Oh I don't know. I think you know.
Speaker 2: Complaint number eight mental health goes to the toilet. Oh.
Speaker 2: Then in my notes so I put I'm like.
Speaker 1: Key, Yeah, I didn't have bad mental health for my
Speaker 1: first pregnancy.
Speaker 2: No, the mental health goes to the toilet. I'mlike key,
Speaker 2: Oh that it was just another poojo.
Speaker 1: Can I just say though, in the second pregnancy, my
Speaker 1: mental health has.
Speaker 2: Been so bad. Oh, it's been awful, so bad, and
Speaker 2: like you are like unhinged.
Speaker 1: I just have been so like I can't do this.
Speaker 1: And I remember actually saying that in the hospital, like
Speaker 1: when I was in the birthing suite when they were
Speaker 1: doing their assessment and stuff, and I remember just like
Speaker 1: not pleading, but like saying to Charlie like I can't,
Speaker 1: like I can't go through with this pregnancy, Like I
Speaker 1: can't do this.
Speaker 2: It's so hard.
Speaker 1: The whole pregnancy has been hard. And one of the
Speaker 1: midwifes is like, we're not delivering the baby today. Does
Speaker 1: she know that? And I'm like, no, the pregnancy woman,
Speaker 1: it's been really hard, okay, yeah, but like.
Speaker 2: And it's also been a really hard year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so just shout out to anyone who does have
Speaker 1: bad mental health through pregnancy. It makes it a lot
Speaker 1: harder than you can imagine. You just feel really defeated.
Speaker 2: And you feel very alone as well. Yeah, and every
Speaker 2: like physical things and working becomes so much harder. So
Speaker 2: than you're feeling like useless at different things.
Speaker 1: It's you just don't feel particularly good at anything. And
Speaker 1: I don't even feel good at making the baby because
Speaker 1: you're so ill and uncomfortable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though the baby's happy as anything inside.
Speaker 1: Just bouncing around, don't feel that. It's really difficult. And
Speaker 1: I think having a really dreamy pregnancy first time around
Speaker 1: and then having this pregnancy, the comparison's been really hard,
Speaker 1: night and day. It's been really hard to kind of
Speaker 1: live through that because we made the decision to have
Speaker 1: a second and everyone tells you this, it might not
Speaker 1: be the same, and you're like, yeah, that's fine. Had
Speaker 1: we not had a big grief event it happened at
Speaker 1: the start of the year, I probably would have been
Speaker 1: able to navigate. Maybe this pregnancy is easy, but it's just.
Speaker 2: Hard because you're getting physical symptoms as well, and it's
Speaker 2: just so hard. And even though it's like a common
Speaker 2: thing that lots of people do, just because it's common
Speaker 2: doesn't make it any easy, right. I just never had
Speaker 2: felt lonely in my time. I mean I was lockdown
Speaker 2: when I was pregnant, but I just was so alone. Yeah,
Speaker 2: even though my sister was pregnant at the same time,
Speaker 2: so it's like I could literally it doesn't help when
Speaker 2: other people. Sometimes I just still just feel really lonely
Speaker 2: because you're actually the only one that is growing this human.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: my mental health during this time is how reliant I've
Speaker 1: had to become on Charlie, on you and Lucy as
Speaker 1: my business partners, like just having to.
Speaker 2: Pick up slack, like you just feel like the shittest.
Speaker 1: Person because you just cannot excel in any way, and
Speaker 1: then that it's like this vicious cycle of kind of
Speaker 1: self loathing and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awful, which then makes you just want to
Speaker 2: stay in bed and yeah, exactly. But then I've also
Speaker 2: a lot a toddler that's like once like, as you
Speaker 2: just said, it is something that everyone goes through, but
Speaker 2: it still is like you're experiencing it. You are excelling
Speaker 2: at growing human.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, thank god, that just kind of baby kicking along.
Speaker 2: Just do do do pushing that pool out of the way,
Speaker 2: get out of here, mom, and it's please for goodness sake,
Speaker 2: have you been regularly seeing your therapist.
Speaker 1: I missed my last appointment because I was in the
Speaker 1: hospital with DODR Matt.
Speaker 2: Pretty legit excuse, but yeah, I've got to rebook that.
Speaker 2: Thank you for reminding me. Good because I know with
Speaker 2: you it definitely makes a difference. It does.
Speaker 1: It's like a little you know what, she's my morphine.
Speaker 2: If she will take that, she is your morphine. Complaint
Speaker 2: number nine the admin. Yeah, I am not an admin person,
Speaker 2: neither of I hate admin. The millions of appointments that
Speaker 2: you have to go to so irritating. I used to
Speaker 2: ask it was so long. My sister would be like,
Speaker 2: have you been to see meal wife? I was like no,
Speaker 2: She's like, why am I I don't want to? Then
Speaker 2: I have to drive.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of time.
Speaker 2: I just I could not be bothered. I hate admin.
Speaker 2: I hated the paperwork, and I hated that it was
Speaker 2: all on me. Look went to one ultrasound.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the same with Childie because it was COVID,
Speaker 1: so it was really limited in what he could go to.
Speaker 2: Still irritating, Oh don't mind me, I'll put off work
Speaker 2: for the morning because I've got to go get this
Speaker 2: baby scanned. Or I've got to go get this blood test.
Speaker 2: Oh they can't get blood. I've got to go get
Speaker 2: this irritating.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it's your first kind of taste of
Speaker 1: the inequities of raising kids, isn't it. Like first's the
Speaker 1: first mental load part of it, which as the woman
Speaker 1: or the primary kera. Unfortunately that does come down to.
Speaker 2: You and then you generally are the one that thinks
Speaker 2: about everything that you need, like oh what pram, what
Speaker 2: cot what? Yeah, all of those little things Like you
Speaker 2: just don't realize how much admin there is involved. And
Speaker 2: it's irritating. Yeah, and time consuming, it is. It is.
Speaker 1: It's very time consuming. I mean it consumes you as well.
Speaker 2: You know the smells do you go on like how
Speaker 2: sensitive your nose is? Oh my god, yes, it's fucked.
Speaker 1: I mean I have a sensitive nose to begin with,
Speaker 1: and I am supersonic. It's so bad that there have
Speaker 1: been times I've asked Charlie to.
Speaker 2: Shower or.
Speaker 1: Like remove a piece of clothing because there's a smell
Speaker 1: on it or something like. That's how crazy I've gotten
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 2: Luke puts like cologne on to go to the gym.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, it's so aggressive and it's such an
Speaker 2: like it's a beautiful smell. But now I hate it
Speaker 2: because he just wears it too often. He goes oily
Speaker 2: spread once. I'm like, it's too much. Yeah, it's spray
Speaker 2: half half when for special occasions not to go to
Speaker 2: the gym.
Speaker 1: You know what would really be like like I would
Speaker 1: want to cry is when I got into like an
Speaker 1: uber and that fresh of things hanging there and I'm
Speaker 1: just like fucking yine.
Speaker 2: But my nose never went back to what it was
Speaker 2: pre pregnancy. Like I used to have a really good
Speaker 2: like I loved fragrance, I loved perfumes. I did like
Speaker 2: a short course like yeah, and now I just most fragrances.
Speaker 2: I'm just like yuck too much. Definitely.
Speaker 1: I found also like my allergies to do with scent
Speaker 1: have gotten really bad. Yes, So when I was pregnant.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to this a little bit later.
Speaker 1: And the complaints that I got from the shitter is,
Speaker 1: but my sinus is when I'm pregnant, like the inflammation
Speaker 1: in my my sinus means well, no, I get so blocked, right,
Speaker 1: and then sense really sent me off. So just that
Speaker 1: whole area, I feel like it's pretty fucked up from pregnancy,
Speaker 1: and it never really went back. You know, some people's
Speaker 1: like feet grow a whole size.
Speaker 2: Oh thank god, that wasn't my whole size all.
Speaker 1: No, it's I mean, the lips do, but they always
Speaker 1: go back down. But the nose growing a whole size.
Speaker 2: I don't know if maybe that is just an all
Speaker 2: wives tell No, it's not an old lives. Well, everyone
Speaker 2: gets a bit swollen, but it goes back down. Well,
Speaker 2: some people go back down, some people don't. Okay, if
Speaker 2: anyone's never went back down, please send us a photo
Speaker 2: only before and after, Yeah, before and after. All we
Speaker 2: can do is just do the nose like we want
Speaker 2: to share it. I just want to see if I
Speaker 2: just want to.
Speaker 1: See it for the shells, might want to see.
Speaker 2: Complaint number eleven. The vagina gets more vaginery, But you
Speaker 2: said that you think that maybe that's just because your
Speaker 2: scent is more heightened. When I say, I just want
Speaker 2: to say this because I don't want anyone at home
Speaker 2: thinking that they're alone in their vagina smelling more vaginery.
Speaker 2: I don't mean it in a bad way. No, I'm
Speaker 2: not saying it's a bad smell. It's just and more
Speaker 2: odorous and thicker smelling.
Speaker 1: But can I say not once have I ever smelt
Speaker 1: one of my pregnant friends vaginas. That's why I think
Speaker 1: it is your sense of smell is heightened, And definitely
Speaker 1: I think you have a like a not you as
Speaker 1: in generalizations, we know our scent more than others, Like.
Speaker 2: Vagina just smelled pretty much same, unless it's like got
Speaker 2: an infection.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I just well, why haven't I
Speaker 1: smelled my pregnant friends.
Speaker 2: I've smelt my friends sometimes when they've got periods.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's it's not blood, that's bloody. That's
Speaker 1: like a universal smell. I think everyone has like a
Speaker 1: slightly different sound, like different pheromones and things like that.
Speaker 1: But I don't want anyone to freak out because I
Speaker 1: don't think that other people are smelling yourself.
Speaker 2: So ry. I never ever thought, my gosh, that pregnant
Speaker 2: friend has got a smelly vagina, like an odorous, odorous,
Speaker 2: odorous smelly makes it sounds bad. It's just odorous. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It also gets puffy. Everything gets puffy. But it's funny
Speaker 2: when your vagina gets puffy, A puffy muffy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't get that the first time around, but you
Speaker 1: bet you.
Speaker 2: My puss is so puffy right now. I got a
Speaker 2: puffy puss When we were in your pokey, like is.
Speaker 1: It yeah, phaps are just bulbous, like what's happening.
Speaker 2: It looked like looks like there.
Speaker 1: Was something I was packing heat. That's what it looked
Speaker 1: like in Europe. And I was just like, and then
Speaker 1: the bump's covering it. So I'm just like trying to
Speaker 1: see over the bump and I'm like, oh, yeah, you're
Speaker 1: look in the.
Speaker 2: Mirror and you go, dear lord, I've got two big sausages.
Speaker 1: Also, the throbbing, because of the reason Robby muffy is
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of blood rushing to that area
Speaker 1: and the throbbing from it. It was just so weird,
Speaker 1: so weird, so weird. Actually, that's just reminded me of
Speaker 1: one I didn't have on the list, which I've never
Speaker 1: spoken about.
Speaker 2: Admit it. The orgasms I have when I'm pregnant. I
Speaker 2: was gonna I was thinking it, but you've said it.
Speaker 2: I didn't have that, But tell me about it, because
Speaker 2: some people get like really horny when they're pregnant. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's weird.
Speaker 1: Like I was just orgasm in my sleep all the
Speaker 1: time and have constant orgasms through the night. It's very strange.
Speaker 2: But it's a thing. What do you mean, I don't
Speaker 2: So you're lying in bed having like.
Speaker 1: It's like my vagina is so much more sensitive and
Speaker 1: tender because it's fatter.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's wine. Maybe because your clip's gotten puffy or too.
Speaker 2: It just drops on the flap a little bit and
Speaker 2: you just orgasm in your slick.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'll like often wake up from
Speaker 1: it and I'll be like oh oh, or I'll be
Speaker 1: out and it's just a little bit.
Speaker 2: Like oh tingly yeah, and I'm just like, oh, this
Speaker 2: is what have you? Oh my god, You're turning into
Speaker 2: one of those patients that it's on Gray's amatom where
Speaker 2: they just have like involuntary orgasms. Yeah, yeah, that's you.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not having involuntary ones when I'm like out
Speaker 1: and about better. But it's like tingly. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: no different, They're just kind of the same as if
Speaker 1: you were.
Speaker 2: Are you having more orgasms when you have sex?
Speaker 1: Well, I haven't been having sex because this pregnancy has
Speaker 1: not been great for me. Also, like and if I'm
Speaker 1: getting i'm getting off, I'm asleep by myself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually got no knee, but yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Is very strange. And I got this germ first pregnancy,
Speaker 1: so it is like it is.
Speaker 2: Because you've got one good thing both pregnancies.
Speaker 1: It is just a bit weird though, because then you're
Speaker 1: just like, why am I such a sicko? Like, no,
Speaker 1: there's no sick there's no wrong, nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 1: But I'm just like, how many orgasms this one need
Speaker 1: to have?
Speaker 2: Well, apparently a lot. It's maybe it's trying to help
Speaker 2: you with the poo.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably complain number twelve.
Speaker 2: Boobs so tender and not in a good way. I
Speaker 2: think some people might get it in a but I remember,
Speaker 2: like I had to put my hands on my nipples
Speaker 2: when I was under the shower because just the feeling
Speaker 2: of the water on my nipples was burning.
Speaker 1: That's how I knew I was pregnant the first time,
Speaker 1: because I had this weird feeling sensation on my nipples
Speaker 1: that I'd never felt before, just from water hitting my nipples.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I've never even felt my nipples feel anything.
Speaker 2: You know some people in nipple people, I'm I just
Speaker 2: would rather mind, Like honestly, sometimes you could be playing
Speaker 2: with them and I'd be like, oh, like, I'm not
Speaker 2: a nipple person, so it's weird. I just wanted them
Speaker 2: cover it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I so so tender and so big, so quick.
Speaker 2: It's just like they do go back down to their
Speaker 2: original size though. I always wondered that.
Speaker 1: A little bit less. So I'd say, a man are
Speaker 1: a little bit like.
Speaker 2: A sad flute. Mine exactly the same. I know, I'm
Speaker 2: so dealous. I did pay for them though, but even
Speaker 2: the nip like just perfect.
Speaker 1: Well, when I'm pregnant, my actual nipples are really long.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, You're like Ashley, it's so weird.
Speaker 1: So I'm constantly hyping me and it's not.
Speaker 2: You turn into an actual calend. It's t t but
Speaker 2: they do go back. How funny is it when you've
Speaker 2: got your tits in the milk machine. You know, I
Speaker 2: know what it's like, and it goes and you look
Speaker 2: at it and it's literally like an udder being milked.
Speaker 2: It's so weird. We are, honestly being a woman. We
Speaker 2: just take it all. Okay, so key, you asked the
Speaker 2: shitters about some additional complaints.
Speaker 1: I thought i'd just run through them because honestly, the
Speaker 1: reason I did this is because there were a few
Speaker 1: in here that I went, oh my god, I had that.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was a pregnancy symptom. So if
Speaker 1: you're pregnant or I have been pregnant before, you might
Speaker 1: be like, aha, it might help you. Yeah, I'm just
Speaker 1: going to run through then we won't need to like
Speaker 1: talk too much about it. Carple Tunnel, I had this well.
Speaker 2: Until last night when you messaged me about this. I
Speaker 2: didn't realize that was a pregnancy thing. I have had
Speaker 2: it on other points, to be fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I think it's like a pretty normal thing
Speaker 1: to get it. It's an office job.
Speaker 2: And do like a lot of typing. It's a huge
Speaker 2: symptom of vitamin B twelve deficiency.
Speaker 1: Right, okay, doc, and the arm brace that goes with it. Oh,
Speaker 1: I never had to shout out to sleeping and arm
Speaker 1: braces because you've got fucked up pains and your wrists
Speaker 1: and hands horrific diarrhea. I didn't get that, but.
Speaker 2: That happened to me post birth. I would be literally
Speaker 2: breastfeeding on the toilet with my newborn way. Well, shit
Speaker 2: was just coming out of me like lava for six weeks.
Speaker 2: Got a great visual. Just say the tongue. Have you
Speaker 2: heard of that? No? What is that? Okay?
Speaker 1: So, a geographic tongue is an inflammatory but harmless condition
Speaker 1: affecting the surface of the tongue. So basically the tongue
Speaker 1: ends up with these kind of like smooth red patches
Speaker 1: on the top or the side of the tongue. The
Speaker 1: reason why the little geographic tongue is because they make
Speaker 1: like quite interesting shapes. I'm just showing you. Oh imagine
Speaker 1: if your tongue just look like that for no reason.
Speaker 2: I don't like that. It's so random. Pregnancy is so
Speaker 2: so weird.
Speaker 1: Why do these things?
Speaker 2: Bad things happen to good people. We're growing and all
Speaker 2: this weird stuff needs to happen, you know.
Speaker 1: I agree?
Speaker 2: I agree. Lightning crotch, you had that, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I did super.
Speaker 1: Sharp pains down there, and you've had jo sick and
Speaker 1: sometimes it can start really early on and not stop.
Speaker 2: And it just happens in the most weird place and
Speaker 2: you do that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, my tiny, I believe you had these
Speaker 1: two swollen ankles.
Speaker 2: Okay, I just have perpetually swollen ankles. I was right
Speaker 2: there with you. My girlfriends call me leg foot because
Speaker 2: I just don't have an ankle. It just goes leg
Speaker 2: to foot. What about my girlfriend Bell, We need to
Speaker 2: post a photo if she lets us how swollen she
Speaker 2: got all over.
Speaker 1: Could everyone maybe send us their swollen and equal or
Speaker 1: just yeah, yeah. We won't do any headshots, but we
Speaker 1: just put all together make.
Speaker 2: Other people feel better a chuckle bit, I off a
Speaker 2: chuckle make everyone feel better about getting so swollen. It's
Speaker 2: just the water retention. Every time we saw her afterwards,
Speaker 2: we were like, oh, she's deflated some more. It was like,
Speaker 2: she's just literally just me block sinuses.
Speaker 1: I was so glad when someone else said this, I
Speaker 1: was like, yes, it's not just me random calf cramps
Speaker 1: and like being woken up by cramping legs. This is
Speaker 1: so bad, so bad, I forgot Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, terrible,
Speaker 1: so fucking painful.
Speaker 2: I thought about this one too. Skin tags. Did you
Speaker 2: get these?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I have heard about them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did get some skin tags, and I was.
Speaker 2: Like, I'm a psycho, though I would just I have
Speaker 2: gotten one before, not in pregnancy. I just chopped it off.
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to think. Yep, dry eyes.
Speaker 1: I did get this in my first pregnancy, and my
Speaker 1: eyes got really dry and I remember I had to
Speaker 1: use drops a lot. Oh, really gross pigmentation.
Speaker 2: Of course, it's a big one for lots of women. Yeah,
Speaker 2: rib pain.
Speaker 1: Rib pain is the first sign that I'm pregnant, and
Speaker 1: it is so annoying, and you're just constantly kind of
Speaker 1: like ow ow ow because your ribs are probably moving
Speaker 1: you exactly for your womb a. Loss of fitness, even
Speaker 1: if you continue to work out, can't relate. Haven't worked
Speaker 1: out a day in this pregnancy.
Speaker 2: I feel like most people I know cannot. Like that
Speaker 2: is for the five percent of the population who are
Speaker 2: super fit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Acne.
Speaker 1: Now I didn't get this, but bacne is a big
Speaker 1: thing with some people with their pregnancies. They just get
Speaker 1: like this crazy breaking skin, really bad skin, and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: where's my glowy pregnant and then.
Speaker 2: They say, oh, it's a girl because she's taking your beauty. Oh,
Speaker 2: well that's sexist.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but also the people that I've known that's
Speaker 1: happened to did have a girl.
Speaker 2: Really, yes, it's weird.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this is one that you and
Speaker 1: I already hate. Varracos veins. Oh, they get worse, they
Speaker 1: get bigger, bigger hate of Okay, this was another one
Speaker 1: I had to look up. Obstetric collis stace status. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry whoever's listening being like, can you learn some words?
Speaker 1: So basically, it's when your the skin on your stomach
Speaker 1: or your body.
Speaker 2: Itchy, gets really really itchy.
Speaker 1: I forgot about Yeah, itchy skin. Yeah, well the itchy
Speaker 1: skin I think is at all generalizing which is safe.
Speaker 1: But obstetric colostatsus is actually.
Speaker 2: A liver issue.
Speaker 1: So if you get really itchy on your tummy, you
Speaker 1: need to see your GP because so they can run
Speaker 1: a blood test because you could have this liver thing,
Speaker 1: Like what is it.
Speaker 2: Is because your skin was stretching.
Speaker 1: No, so per kid spot coleo stasis of pregnancy is
Speaker 1: a rare liver disorder. Only about one percent of the
Speaker 1: population will be effected. But it's important to know the
Speaker 1: signs and symptoms. So yeah, it's actually a condition that
Speaker 1: some people get. So it's your skin generally means your
Speaker 1: skin is stretching, but like severe itchiness can be a
Speaker 1: sign of this, like random liver thing that is only
Speaker 1: present when you're pregnant.
Speaker 2: God shout out to the chicks dealing with that. This
Speaker 2: one blew my mind.
Speaker 1: Waking in the night with burning hot feet, had to
Speaker 1: get under a shower to cool them down.
Speaker 2: That sounds awful, awful, awful. This one.
Speaker 1: I forgot that I had this, and I had no
Speaker 1: idea at the time. Planter facitis. It's intense heel pain.
Speaker 1: I got this towards the end of my pregnancy, and
Speaker 1: you would.
Speaker 2: Have just assumed that your feet were sore because of
Speaker 2: the extra weight.
Speaker 1: Totally just add it to the list of things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it's an actual thing. This one was
Speaker 1: pretty funny. Smell a versions to partner, just the general scent.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love that they're like everything annoyed me,
Speaker 2: including their scent. I loved it.
Speaker 1: Tender nightis and claw hands.
Speaker 2: That sounds awful. That sounds really painful.
Speaker 1: One of our shit has developed a neck hump, which
Speaker 1: is awful. Well, I don't know, maybe I didn't get
Speaker 1: into the details. It was just a tiny box. It's
Speaker 1: only you know, gives.
Speaker 2: Like really detailed descriptions of everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, metallic tastes of mouth. I had this often
Speaker 1: hairy belly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I used to love shaving mine.
Speaker 1: Hairy nipples. Oh, I didn't get that.
Speaker 2: Always I have to pluck them.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think that's the one place here doesn't
Speaker 1: grow on my thanks so much. Pery oral dermatite.
Speaker 2: That's just a really bad form of dermatitis. Very common,
Speaker 2: very easy to treat. Actually, is it a treat?
Speaker 1: Annoying that you get it with pregnancy? GD We touched
Speaker 1: on dry vadge. Oh so so business while you're pregnant.
Speaker 1: I get it. Well, at least you've got an excuse
Speaker 1: black armpits, neck and puss. Like I've heard that skin darkens,
Speaker 1: it's like pigmentation and like specific places.
Speaker 2: Would that be for different people from different races?
Speaker 1: Well, this person was white that sent it through, But
Speaker 1: I think it can honestly be all different skin types. Oh,
Speaker 1: I just get that line, you know, that weird line
Speaker 1: everyone gets.
Speaker 2: But like imagine like a really white person raising their
Speaker 2: arm and they've got like a black pitch. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's what this should have had.
Speaker 2: I want photographs of these things. Yeah, and I should
Speaker 2: have said it attached photo the hemorrhoids.
Speaker 1: I haven't had those yet, but you know what, I think,
Speaker 1: if this any pregnancy, that I'm going to get them
Speaker 1: and be this one. I have been straining like a mofo. Yes,
Speaker 1: but they are bad, aren't they? Like people really get
Speaker 1: them badly.
Speaker 2: It's awful. Ashley has to still push hers back up
Speaker 2: inside her butt. I don't know if she wants us
Speaker 2: to blast that for Oh. I'm sure she tells everyone
Speaker 2: about the Hemsworths hemorrhoids Hemsworths. I hope she does. Anyway,
Speaker 2: Now she'll be fine.
Speaker 1: That's all we've got time for today. It's been a
Speaker 1: little bit last do you.
Speaker 2: After having a nice, good old question, I love a complain.
