Do you get an embarassing gas/fart problem during your period?

I know, total rediculously embarassing red faced post right?  Not very lady like at all to talk about such a subject. 

This is a problem many of us suffer though, so much so that I thought I'd research it a little as I needed reassurance that I was not alone.

Around the time of month of the dreaded period monster I seem to develop a bad case of wind (slightly blushing up as I admit to this).  I thought, this only happened to me and I must just have a real bad gas problem, much to my husbands disgust, I classed myself as a classless fart machine.  I felt rather embarassed each month to say the least, but I just couldn't help myself.

So I took my research to womens internet forum sites and found questions like:

Why do I get gas before my period?
Gas and constipation during period
Horrific gas during period
Farting during my period

I was so relieved to find that I was definately not alone with my little gas problem, there are plenty of other women out there in the same boat, would be a very smelly one at that!

So, the answer to why this occurs?  I guess its mainly caused by the bloating we get around this time of month that makes our jeans feel that bit tighter and well just that feeling fat stage.  The best explanation for this I found was from Heron on Yahoo Answers who replied:

This happens to a lot of women. The prostaglandins (substances that cause the muscle contractions that push out the menstrual blood) can cause intestinal spasms. This can cause bloating, flatulence, and an increased number of bowel movements.

So I just wanted to share this with everyone who also has this problem.  We are not alone!

The remedy to this?  Anti gas tablets.  So amongst your busy schedule try and remember to put this on your shopping list and remember to take them. 

Unless, we look at it a little differently and don't see this as a problem at all and more a way to get our men back for there constant burbing at the dinner table and farting under the covers!

Have you had OR would you consider a boob job after having babies?

I have been asking myself this question lately.  I'm not totally mortified of what I have left in the boob department after having my two babies BUT I would consider having a boob job to improve what I am left with.

They are not quite what they were to begin with before children, that saying, they are still the same size, a modest B cup but they are definitely a little different.

I'm not saying I want to be in the FF club, don't get me wrong nothing wrong with big boobies, just don't think they would suit my lifestyle.  I was thinking to upgrade my modest B cup to a well rounded full D cup.

These thoughts have been swilling around my head since I gave birth to my son 4 years ago and since having my last child 14 months ago these feelings have gotten stronger!  I was also recently at a friends wedding and got chatting to a mum of two who had had the procedure done and she looked awesome to say the least.  She not only looked great, she had this confident aura around her and wasn't shy.

All I've done so far is think about it and spoken to my husband and close friend just to hear their opinions and they are both happy if I'm happy, my friend even wants to join me under the knife!

So whilst I gather more information on 'boob jobs' and educate myself I thought I would put this question out to blogland to hear your opinions on the matter.

Blogging out depression!

I seem to go round in circles lately in life. I go from happy as Larry, to wanting some mummy alone time, to thinking about re-entering the workplace, to throwing myself more into my kids, hubby and home to then ending up in the same place each month. This place is full of a sense of failure in each area of my life, a feeling that I can't do anything right and I'm just left feeling down in the dumps depressed. I shouldn't just throw this 'D' word around lightly because I know there are a lot of people out there suffering this way everyday. I know I'm not severely depressed where I need to see a Doctor but I'm just sick of feeling this way.

Once I've gone through the whole rigmarole of trying to be a perfect everything I return to what brings me out of this state, blogging! It gives me a little boost, gives me inspiration and generally its just the best feeling being able to express the way I'm feeling without being diagnosed or judged.

So here I am back into blogging!

Lazy Blogger

Once again, I have neglected blogging. I have gone weeks since my last post.

I tried logging in this morning to check what's happening in blogosphere and once again, couldn't even access my own blog! I'm such a bad blogger I forgot my password!

So I've reset my password and determination and I'm back!
