Grotty Mummy Moments

Has anyone got any grotty/embarrassing mummy moments to share?

My first bub is 11 wks old and I'm often so distracted i forget to check myself before heading out.

The other day I spent two hours at a cafe then got home and realised I had poo on my top from a poo BEFORE we went to the cafe (!!!), and yesterday I took bub for a walk in the pram and only realised when I got home that I still had a huge flannel stuffed down one bra cup for leakage during earlier breastfeeding from the other side, so I looked like I had one huge lumpy breast !!!!!!

I hope this passes. In the meantime we just have to laugh ....

LOL>...oh i needed that giggle....

I usually go out with vomit all over me (well back in my DD's NB days...so far so good). Then id be thinking why does it smell like vomit everywhere i go... LOL

I haven't had too many of these.
With DS1 I went to the supermarket leaking through my breastpad and noone told me, not even DP. I only found out I was leaking when I felt someone wet on my top when I was packing the groceries in the car. I was so embarrassed. :redface:

Yesterday I went out to lunch with food on my top. It was from picking up DS2 to clean him up before we were going and didn't think twice I might have got some on me. My sister didn't tell me I had anything on my top until we were out. I just shrugged it off. I'm proud of myself for not being all embarrassed over it.

:hug:

yep did that yesturday..Jack spewed on me prior to leaving..i wiped it with a bib that was near by..then forgot all about it.. and went out with a dried up spew mark on me :D

A friend of mine went wondering around big W with a boob half hanging out once. She got the bottom in, but nipple was out.

I was silly enough to give Jesse lamington while I was wearing white pants, lol! I went & bought a pair of shorts at an op shop & changed in the car with my sister near wetting her self laughing next to me!

haha

I have been known a few times to forget to hook my bra back up after feeding and was in supermarket one day ans i bent down to get something off the shelf when somehow i got hooked on those silver racks and it took me ages to unhook myself, i must have looked like a real idoit bent over with my bra half open.... lmao

I could only imagine being hooked on those silver shelves...id be dying of embarrassment....LOL

I've had a few instances of my bb popping out of my top.... horrific, and yep lumpy breasts due to washers still in... oh I've done a few ;)

Yep, in our 'Coming home from the hospital' photo I have a boob out by accident!!!

I was at the shops last week with the delicate aroma of baby vomit wafting about me. Was sooo strong too, I hadn't really noticed it until I got to the shops. I actually cut the trip short because I needed to talk to salespeople about a couple of things and couldn't do it knowing I smelled like vomit!

LMAO some funny stories there!!

What a great thread! :D

My most extreme grotty mummy moment was back in 1995... it was a stinking hot summer's night, not dissimilar to tonight's 30'C minimum temp situation... too hot to cook so DH and I ordered pizza... while we were waiting we settled down to watch a movie... I had my baby on my lap, naked, BFing. I myself was only wearing a nursing bra and undies... I had a towelling nappy draped over my lap incase of an accident... well... what an accident! Before I talk about the poo let me set the scene: We lived in a second story unit... it was about 8pm and as usual we had a load of washing on (we only used fabric nappies back then)... well like I said, I should have listened harder to that little voice of intuition that warned of impending disaster... anyhow, yep, DD was feeding away happily when all of a sudden she did the world's largest blast poo... you know the kind... yellow breast-fed drippy poo that could not be contained... trickling down my leg and threatening the couch... so I gathered her up... and headed for the bathroom down the hall.... but I couldn't get there because a tide of WATER was flowing down the hall toward me! The laundry tub was over flowing!!!! Yikes! I cried out to DH to help... to turn off the machine... to pull the plug in the trough (that I had left in, causing the overflow)... which he did... he raced into the bathroom/laundry (they were combined) to stop the water... but at that point the door bell rang... THE PIZZA GUY!.... forgetting that I was semi dressed and covered in poo I yelled out "coming!"... I moved toward the door but thankfully, at the last minute DH called out "NO! You're not dressed!" (not to mention covered in poo!!!)

So, thankfully I can now say that it was dh who answered the door... and not me... saving myself from total and utter embarrassment!

:rofl: :rofl:
That one hurt Bath!!!

These posts are great :lol:

I think my "grotty" moments come when I'm eating in public with DS. The other night we went to a restaurant with him & I was picking up pasta from the table with my fingers & putting it in DS's mouth (so used to not using cutlery for him!!). Or, when we are out & I notice bits of his sloppy food on my clothes & it's easier just to eat it than to try to find a bin to throw it away - then I wonder who has just seen me picking up the soggy biscuit bits...:redface: It doesn't seem gross to me - but I'm sure it does to other people!

LMAO! These posts are so funny! :)

Sometimes I walk around with my singlet still pulled down under my bra after feeding, which must look so stupid! Cos I'm basically walking around with my bra hanging out and my singlet underneath.

Yep I went to the shops once wearing a white tshirt with both bra cups undone :o and DD was at home with DH! I didnt realise till I was home again about to feed...oops :redface:

OMG these are so great!

I thought it was just me being typical first-time-mummified.

The list is long and undistinguished -
leaving a bra unhooked so one boob is up near my chin and the other near my ankles,
walking around with baby vomit on a shoulder,
forgetting to brush my hair due to being in such a rush to leave home (this one just recently :redface:),
leaving fly undone after visit to parenting room in shopping centre (very stinky and needed to get out ASAP), etc etc.
I am sure there will be plenty more...

:rofl: there are some gems girls !!

Glad it's not just me. Forget hollywood yummy mummies. I'd love to see some of THEIR grotty mummy moments !

As we speak i have cabbage leaves in my bra because of suspicious red painful lumps in left side .. hope i'm not hit by a bus and paramedics wonder if i'm making some weird form of sauerkraut ..

done the boobs out...vomit covered moments. when i feed DD i have a bad habit of rubbing my eyes while we are sitting there, i get drowsy and relaxed i guess, after a feed the other day we headed straight out, had heaps of running around to do, shopping etc, wasnt till i met a friend for a coffee after being out for nearly two hours that they told me i had make up all round my face!! mascara all over the place!! :rolleyes:

thanks for the giggles!!:lol:

This is a very funny thread.

DS was 3 weeks old and I had him in a carry thing (the ones where their legs poke out the bottom and you carry them around on your front). It was the first time I had been out with him and had changed his nappy just before we left home. He was asleep and we were doing our weekly shopping through Coles. A friend of mine stopped to say hello and I was being very cool, calm and collected. Suddenly everything started getting quite warm. I then realised that pee was running down my front and filling my shoes and drenching the floor. The "friend" said, "Well, I just leave you with that then." and ticked off. I was mortified and hadn't bought any change of clothes.

DS woke up and realised he was soaked and started screaming his guts out. I had to run in to the Target and buy him some clothes (I didn't care about my clothes, it was only baby wee). Then the girl in Target asked me why he was screaming and I told her why. "Well, you just don't leave home without a change of clothes for the baby." YEP. Thanks for that gem of advice!!!!

I was completely mortified and cried all the way home with DH telling me these things happen to other people all the time. I think about it now and wonder what the heck I was thinking.

oh these are classic

i took the chance while bub was asleep to nick to the shop and chucked on a collared tshirt, gave dh a kiss and ordes on what to do if bub woke(first time leaving him) i got to the shop and half way around noticed my tshirt was inside out, i was mortified. I though i know ill duck downa n isle take it off turn it the right way and all wil be fine, in the end i decieded to just carry on, i bumped into about 4 people i knew and they all said u know your top is inside out, i said yes joys of being a new mummy. I could have killed Dh for not saying anything
A few weeks ago i went to the shops with the kids, i thought i could smell sick but couldnt see it. Turns out Lachlan had thrown up all down the back of my shirt , i remembered before we left Emma was playing with Lachlan as i was on the floor, she said chuck on Mummy Lachlan and he obeyed her and did so. Turns out Emma was to scared to tell me cause she thought i would tell her off . So instead i walked around the shop with vomit all down my back.

Hm I think my family have a conspiracy thing going on.

LOL...this is brilliant!

On Australia Day we went for a picnic and DD managed to wee out the side of her cloth nappy (don't ask me how), and wee went ALL over me and my lap. Of course it looked like I'd wet myself, so I had to lie in the sun until it dried.

The only other time she's managed to leak out the side of a nappy was her in first week, and while breastfeeding in my bed, she did one of those liquid poos, all down my side and all over our bed! I was so tired though, I just grabbed a cloth nappy to cover it and went back to sleep...

oh yes me, nice chunky vomit all down my back from Ashton. Lumpy and white and gooey...
He was in the MT and I took him out when we got there, spent 3 hours walking around and cabbed home, I didn't realise he threw up until I got home and Jaidan said "yuck Ashton spilled on you" and I took my top off and saw it.
I was embarrassed lol

I can just imagine what people were thinking... white chunky stuff all over my back? :lol:

anna, I loooove the grabbing a cloth nappy and putting that on top of it and going back to sleep!
That is hilarious.

I have a funny one from my SIL.

She is very happy about BFing anywhere and she was in the queue of the bank and was BFing her son happily. I might add that she is very well endowed in the breast area when not breastfeeding, so she had some serious boobs happening.

So, she gets the front of the queue and goes to the teller, who is a young guy. He greets her and her baby is curious about the new voice and looks around. Well, my SIL had a pretty powerful flow and so when the baby pulled off, breastmilk shot out and hit this poor young guy in the face. So there he is, kind of covered in breastmilk and staring at this mega-boob. He had no idea what to do and went scarlet. My SIL just thought it was funny!
