“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.

@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! 😉

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!

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?
