Ive never been the type to ware undies, I just don't like them. Until now its never rely been a problem, but now that I'm in my 3rd trimester I feel naked without them. Its uncomfortable not to have them on, I feel like my bottom is going to fall out.
Is this normal? Is it better to have undies on while pregnant?
I also never had a problem with infections till I got pregnant, and I have had 2 (my doctor treated them) sense I got pregnant.
Does having them on prevent or help prevent infections? why do I feel better with my granny panties on now?

When I was pregnant I wore cotton Hanes undies (6 pack) from Walmart 1 or 2 sizes larger than I normally wear them. It was way more comfy. And yes you need underwear while pregnant to absorb leaking mucous, liquid, urine, mucous plug, etc. LOL... pregnancy is a messy thing!!!

Well its normal to wear underwear when you are pregnant. Actually I think its better to wear underwear when you are pregnant because you do get bigger and yeah you may feel like how you did about your bottom falling out. Its because you're gaining baby weight and you need something on to make you feel more secure because you are getting bigger. After you have the baby you can go back to not wearing undies again. Don't worry. Its a normal thing.

I know exactly what you mean! I too was not a fan of underwear until I was pregnant! I went to marshall's and found some really nice ones ( cotton and super soft). I agree with an earlier post that it is something about the support that they give you, also I guess I felt a bit more protected..from what I do not know ! I think it's a becoming a momma thing !!!! Congratulations !

Make sure you are wearing cotton undies. If you are prone to infections during pregnancy, unnatural fibers will add to the problem. Cotton helps with absorption and if anything will help with the infections.
It is b/c your rear multiplies in size while you are pregnant.
