March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

I borrowed a doppler from a friend!! I love it!! Best investment ever!! Its so nice when ever I have fears to listen to my lo hb... I have a hard time keeping the hb for a while cause my lo is very squirmy...moves on me all the time
 
Hey girls, this morning my husband and I had sex, and afterwards all seemed fine, about 10 mins later I went to the bathroom again to wipe and I noticed that my cm had a tinge of light brown/pink. I wiped it all away and checked again a minute later, a bit more tint and a small red dot no bigger than a pin prick. Since then I've been checking and nothing, my cm is clear again. It scared the life out of me and from what I've heard spotting after sex is quite normal, should I be concerned? Should I do anything about it?

hey hun

from what i heard like you said spottin after sex is completly normal. probably just irritated your cervix. just keep an eye on it and if you get any heavy bleeding then id contact someone xx
 
Thank you! Still nothing so I'm hoping it was just a bit of irritation. Haven't got any pain or anything so fingers crossed. Told hubby sex is definitely off the menu for the next 6 months now!!
 
Rose, from what I have heard it is completely normal. We have only had sex once, my poor DH, since we've been pregnant and that was actually just before we found out. I lost most of my sex drive in the first tri, it seems to be coming back now but when I tried to go ahead and DTD with him the other night I started crying, I am just too afraid... too afraid it will cause a problem, even afraid it will cause just spotting and that I will freak out. For me, it I also couldn't get over that hard/lump feeling that is the baby being down in my abdomen and us doing something, just seems weird.

I feel so bad for not having sex, DH has been very gracious about it, but I still feel bad.

Rose, I am sure you will be fine just keep an eye on things and call if it continues, gets worse, or you continue to worry. :hugs:
 
Thanks :) it's definitely put me right off, so scary! I can't imagine what it must be like for women who have proper bleeding!

I've just ordered a Sonoline b Doppler from amazon, hoping i will be able to find baby's HB and put my mind at rest! I've heard good things about them, really looking forward to it arriving!
 
Hi ladies!! I can officially join you!!!

I have heard its normal to spot after sex.. Mind you I have only dtd 3 times since I've been preg cause I'm on crinone gel and it's gross.. Can't wait until I'm done!! Poor oh has been so good about it, but I'm starting to feel bad
 
@ Rose it is normal with my last pregnancy I had a bit of spotting after sex but that was it. Hubby and I baby danced quite a lot during my 2nd and 3rd trimester, although during the 3rd it was quite uncomfortable for me but that still didn't stop us.
 
Thanks :) it was so scary, I'm glad I'm not the only one it happened to!
 
Have changed the name of the group so all the ladies who are still in 1st tri can join us. Xx
 
Hey ladies how r we all doing today? Hope everyone is feeling ok? Has anyone already picked out names for there little ones or bought anything?

Well I've been on another trip to maternity triage! Had some more spotting and was worried about my cervix again, so went and got it checked. They still couldn't find the hb on a doppler so yet again they had to get the portable scanner on me to check peanut. Baby looked ok was having a bit of a lazy moment and wasn't wanting to move much at first but hb was strong and after the doctor wiggled the probe on my belly there were a few wriggles. Thinking I might wait a bit to get a doppler, because if the midwives can't find it yet I'm not sure I'll manage either, but then again maybe it just needs a bit of time spending rather than the couple of minutes they take on it? Anyway cervix was fine, all closed and long, no funnelling :) still don't know where the spotting is coming from, but at epau a few weeks ago they were almost certain it wasn't coming from inside so :shrug:
 
I'm glad everything turned out ok maybe-baby. I had a couple of episodes of unexplained bleeding when I was expecting my daughter and I know how scary it can be :hugs:

Rose spotting after sex isn't anything to worry about. It's just when you're pregnant there's increased blood flow to the cervix and it can get irritated and bleed a little. It's not dangerous for bean but scary for you non the less :hugs:

I'm doing ok. I think I might have felt bubs dancing a little in the last couple of days :thumbup: Can't wait to get to the point where I can feel him/her regularly though. You can't wait to feel movement but it's pretty sporadic to start with and then you just fret because you could feel something yesterday but not today :wacko:

I dare not try my Doppler yet though. I know they work early on for lots of ladies but I couldn't find my daughters HB until 20 weeks plus and think I'd fret more if I tried to find it and failed.

Roll on my next MW appointment at the beginning of October (although fingers crossed I'll be feeling regular movement before then) x
 
My morning sickness is still righteous. I go back to work on Monday, so going to need to see how long it takes to get from my desk to the bathroom. Clearly I'll be making new friends this way, ha!

We have a girl name picked out, but not a boy.
 
Thanks everyone, you're all so reassuring it's nice to have people to talk to who know what I'm going through :)
 
grrr I really wanted to take my 13 week photo in a mirror since its easier..well oh just informed me that he will not be coming home tonight after his golf tourny since hes been drinking ( glad he's atleast being safe) but now I have to wait until tomorrow to get it up or attempt to take my photo of myself with out it again
 
I cant have sex much during pregnancy. Its so uncomfortable. My poor hubby. We havent had sex at all since my BFP, because Ive been so sick, sex would probably make me throw up, plus the progesterone supplements make it all kinds of gross down there. I dont want him anywhere near it LOL Usually I can do it a few times after about 20 weeks, but then once I get really huge into the third trimester, I cant. I always tell hubs Ill make it up to him after the pregnancy. He is a trooper about it though :)

Ive been looking at names, we have a boy name picked but are struggling with the girls name... What do yall think of the name Noelle?

Now that Im past 13 weeks, Ive been able to find the HB everytime I try with my sonoline B. Its giving me such calmness now. We have our gender scan in 4 days!!!!! yay!!!
 
I like Noelle, but I'm a teacher and...well...it has a bad connotation for me haha!

I'm with you on the sex. I feel bad, but we probably haven't had it in...4ish weeks? I've just been SO sick. Standing up makes me puke...I'm not really sure I want to know what sex leads to. Hopefully this will be over soon, because I'm going to go crazy anyway if it isn't.
 
oh I like noelle!! So exciting about the gender scan!! I can find my hb almost every time now...still only for a few seconds though I dont think my lo likes it cause it moves every time I find the hb
