Uncontrollable farting, hairy and leaking nipples, peeing on myself, Are you serious?!?

Just watched the Tyra Banks show and boy am I not looking forward to these symptoms. Does this happen to everyone? I plan on going to college until I'm about 8 months. Am I really going to be in the middle of the class when I cut one loose? I have been saying I dont want anything to put my college on hold but that is going to be just traumatizing for me. I can deal with the leaking and hair, but farting and peeing myself???? ***Holds head in hands*** Is there anyway to avoid these symptoms or maybe lighten them a little???

  • first of all hon do NOT take life advice or medical info of any kind from a talk show lol. The farting...you will be gassier than normal maybe but that doesnt mean you will fart without warning, not at all. the leaking pee, wear pantiliners, the nipples they have breast pads, and the hairiness is not like a gorilla lol...you will be fine. go to school.

  • LOL, not everyone gets those symptoms. I know I had the gas at about 7 weeks but it wasn't that bad. TMI, but I learned to quietly let one go (while no people around school) andI didn't begin to get the really strong urge to pee while much later on in pregnancy. You'll be fine!! :)

  • Also, cut the fast food and grease as well. That will help tremendously in controlling the gas.
