Re: Most Embarassing Moment of my Life
I agree with this 100% Many of the of the women here telling the OP to get her baby in her own bed are probably not parents. Everyone is the perfect parent until they actually have kids.
Everyone queefs at one point or another. Especially while on all fours--happens to me every single time! It's seriously nothing to be embarassed. Laugh it off and keep going.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT...LOL
I actually don't believe in co-sleeping because I value intimacy with my DH, and I believe our bed is OUR bed, and is almost sacred to us and our marriage. I think it's stupid.
That said, it's not uncommon to not be sexually active 3 1/2 months after giving birth, regardless of where your baby sleeps. Don't worry about it. I'm personally terrified of postpartum sex and am having a lot of it right now to try to make up for the potential lack of it later.
blahblahblah, everyone knows co-sleeping increases SIDS, we don't need lessons. I have bumpers on my drop-side crib. Aaaand go.

Totally normal like everyone has said. I have to admit though the first time it happened to me I thought I would die.
It sounds to me like you dont want her in your bed......If you dont want to let her CIO then at nap time move her to her own bed. It will take longer to get her used to it though. A little crying wont hurt her. She is gonna be upset to a point but she will get used to it....I promise.
I let my oldest sleep with me out of laziness until she was 2 ( she is 9 now) she still tried to sleep with me. It took 3 weeks of crying it out to get her to stay there for longer then 30 mins. It was much harder as she was older. With my youngest who is 2, he went right to the crib when we got home. He slept all night a 3 months and he has never tried to sleep in my bed. He tells us around bedtime that he is tired and he is going to bed. WHAT?!?! a 2 yr old that goes o bed on his own.
I hope this helps you.
This happens to me pretty often and I've never had a baby. Like others have said it just happens to all of us.
We just laugh it off or ignore it and keep going. I don't understand how it ruined the moment...
omg seriously? STFU. most of you have no clue what you are talking about in regards to co-sleeping. it's not helpful or called for. and FTR i don't co-sleep or bedshare with my LO. but i have done enough research to know that when you take the proper precautions, it is perfectly safe and healthy. people have been doing it for thousands of years and the US is one of the only countries where it's not commonplace to bedshare. most deaths related to it involve drugs, alcohol, or people not taking proper precautions i.e. removing heavy blankets/pilllows etc. so quit talking out of your @sses on what you have 'heard' from your brother's mother-in-law's cousin's pediatrician and do some research before you spew stupidity.
and to the OP- you need to grow up and get over the ***. it's no biggie and if that's the most embarrassing thing in your life...well, i don't know what to tell you. repeat after me: vagina. vagina. vagina.
Just a funny story to go along w/this topic:
I was working/living in Australia and took a pilates class for the first time; as I was in all of these odd positions, I asked the instructor, "do people ever fart?" and she laughed and said "oh yes, both kinds!" Now, my pilates instructor was like, the most angelic person you've ever met so to hear her say that was hilarious. So, I said "both kinds?"...sort of in a non-questioning way, and she said "yes, a fanny fart" her in beautiful Aussie accent.
Note: they refer to their naughty-bits as "fanny".
So, I explained to her how we call it a "***" and she repeated it, but essentially yelled it out, and I was mortified, but when she told me that no one there would have an idea what it meant, I was fine.
Just a funny story to add...
Oh - and yes - this happens to the best of us!
Finally...we are Mr. & Mrs.!!! WooHoo!!!

Noone can tell you how to parent, of course, but you definitely need to get that baby in his/her own bed. The longer you wait, the worse it gets. I personally do not believe in having your child sleep in your bed with you ever (not at that age anyways), although I do realize this belief is not shared by anyone, but seriously, for the sake of your marriage and mental health, get that baby in a crib ASAP.
OMG I'm jealous of you if a *** is the most embarassing thing to ever happen to you. It happens to me almost everytime my husband and I are in bed. He LOVES it! It actually gets him hotter... LOL!
And honey, It's a vagina.
