What's linea negra?

My other other news source
 

The black line that extends from your belly button straight down to your public bone that one develops while pregnant. This doesn't go away for a loooong time after delivery.

That is SO HOT.

Mucous plug?

My other other news source
 

Now that is fucked up.

It doesn't happen to every woman. The line is there whether you're pregnant or not; it's just invisible. Some women experience a change of its relative pigmentation, making it visible. But not all. Sun exposure is apparently a factor.

My less than perfect grasp of the English language is preventing me from understanding your point.

When you first posted that you didn't enjoy Preggo sex I thought maybe you must just be overly shy and reserved and hadn't really let loose and enjoyed.

With this kind of anatomy, however, that can't be the case, so either there's different wiring or Pregnancy improves a woman's when-harry-met-sally talents.

Yeah, but not everyone gets it. Those who are particularly melanin-challenged, like me, don't.

As for sex, well, I'd agree that there's definitely more blood flow and more, um, moisture down there during pregnancy, but for me any added benefit that these might have produced was countered by increased feelings of awkwardness and discomfort. Having him on top was just not an option.

eta that I'd almost forgotten about the pubic bone issues (bread eaten, blah blah blah). All women experience a softening of the pubic joint (yes, there's a joint right in the middle--it's not a solid piece of bone) as delivery approaches. This can cause soreness, exacerbated by walking, rolling over in bed, sitting down, etc. Well, for some reason my body thought delivery was approaching at five months gestation. Oy. Bad memories.

Plug. Say it. Mucus plug.

The cervix tends to generate mucus during pregnancy to protect itself and keep the uterus sterile. The plug, and the entire cervix, softens ("ripens") in the weeks leading up to the onset of labor. Sometimes a visible portion of it (the plug, not the cervix; don't be difficult) will be seen amongst the fluid when the bag of waters breaks.

Penske, this post's for you.

The event occured in NJ. I assume that had something to do with it. No offence.

Feel free to continue this discussion on the Moms and Dads board.

I went back and fixed it.

So, is there like snot (this is not a euphemism for semen) on you after sex when you have sex with a preggo woman?

My other other news source
 

No no, I think it is important for non-pregnant people to know about this stuff. My desire to have kids, pretty much nonexistant, has decreased exponentially. Linea negra, ew.

If you think the black line thing is hot, the mucous plug is SCORCHING .


I think it's best we just not talk about it, oh my delicate-flower fringe.

You have to admit, though, that the typo in this direction is much better than in reverse.
