Has anyone had a major increase in CM? I seem to have loads of it all the time

I've been having horrible cramps and sharp pains since the 14th and my dr mention unless there's bleeding to not worry and try to take it easy. For the last week I've had a huge increase of CM to the point where i worry myself that it is blood like my Dr warned me about so a mad dash to the bathroom I go. Just happy it's just been CM but everytime it happens my heart races a little and skips a beat until I check.

I do know if you are experiencing discharge that's not clear/white in color, has a smell, itchyness or pain when peeing you should get checked for a UTI. We are more pron to get them now with our bodies changing. A small does of antibiotics will clear it up quickly without harming baby.

This pregnancy has been much different then my last with DD. With her i didn't get any type of excess discharge until the end of my 3rd trimester.

Thank you for that. Will keep an eye out for signs of infection. I didn't get anything like this when I was pregnant with DS either so it's all new to me!

Hi all - I've been lurking lately as I've been raging hormonally and didn't want to just post about my rage! I am like the incredible Hulk!

On a very good note I had some followup HCG betas done yesterday and my results were great!

So far:

11 dpo - 55
16 dpo - 578
23 dpo - 10,025(!!!!)

So I am trying to just celebrate the moment today and feel secure that things are progressing in a healthy fashion. I just set up my first scan for August 10th (I should be 7 weeks 4 days) as I wanted to be certain we'd see a heartbeat, but now that I see all of the six week scans with heartbeats I am oh-so-tempted to see if I can move it up!

As for the sex issue - shame on me, but we've been almost abstaining! I had bleeding last time and it was likely wholly unrelated to my m/c but I can't help but worry! The one time we have had intercourse DH didn't go too deep and I didn't have any spotting, so I think we're all finding the same thing here.

Wow! Congrats! I got to the doc on the 10th too - I will be 8 weeks (according to my count) but they may tell me something different!

I actually have my first OB appointment on the 4th, but wanted to do u/s on the 10th to ensure we saw a heartbeat...but now I might want to go sooner!

We are going up to the Cape to visit my family on the 12th and I really wanted to have an ultrasound to use to share the news. (Also to confirm it's a good idea to share the news!) DH suggested last night I consider waiting until I am 12 weeks -- how in the world will I spend a week at home without telling them?!?!!?

Evening Ladies,

Sambles, ktswissdon and struth - thank you for your posts and input. I am trying to take each day as it comes and am so tempted to go out and buy another digi to check I'm progressing ok but I'm too scared to.

I just hope that when I explain my fears to the midwife on the 4th she'll understand and put me forward for an early scan.

Loolindley - I'm so pleased they've detected a heartbeat hunni and like the others said, she wouldn't have said she'd seen it if she hasn't. Try not to worry - not good for you or little one (even if that is kettle calling pot black me saying that - lol)

Blessed - how did you get on at the Dr's??

So this evening I am beyond shattered!! Completely and utterly whacked - been on the go since 7.30am and didn't get home again until 6.45pm - am soooo tired and my feet are killing. Not helped by the fact I do a job whereby I am on my feet all day everyday.

So fish for tea when DH gets back from putting air in my car tyres and a quiet and early night.

xxx

Luv My Bichon - I feel completely pooped as well. I honestly think I could've gone to bed at 5 and slept through til tomorrow morning.

I hope the mw listens to you and refers you for an early scan

 

[ktswissdom]

hope everyone is doing well managing stress and trying to enjoy every day.
I had a bit of a scary experience today but everything is OK. Turns out i have a cervical polyp which is causing bleeding. i was freaking out earlier when i went to the bathroom and had a lot of bright red blood. and i had been having the worst cramps thus far so i was even more worried. I went straight to the hospital and the doctor had a look and that's when she informed me about the polyp. she consulted w/ her doctor (mine is on vacation for 2 weeks, go figure) and they aren't going to do anything until after the pregnancy. I was so relieved that that was the cause. the thing is, I had had some spotting intermittently before getting pregnant but of course i couldn't get in to see my doctor before i got pregnant, and then she didn't want to see me until the 11th of Aug anyway.
so then i got to have a scan! and the little bean is floating fine in the uterus. we couldn't see anything else but it is early still (i am just over 5 weeks) so i am completely OK w/ all that. it's so ironic because i have been against telling people until i had "visual confirmation" but since hubby had I was making peace w/ the info sharing and had told a few of my friends then i thought today i was going to have to deal with bad news. so, story is, blood + cramps not always horrible news.
PS I got some magnesium for the cramps which is supposed to help.

[ktswissdom]

oops - i don't mean floating, he/she is attached. i could only see the sac though and the sac is in the uterus, no ectopic.

 

[redsox]

kt - great news! i am so glad it wasn't what you feared and in the end you got to see little bean!

 

[Luv_My_Bichon]

Sambles, thanks, I hope she does to - I'm told she's quite harsh though

ktswissdom, so pleased you got to see the little one and verything is fine

Anyone else experiencing a quick pinching feeling in uterus (overy area for me on left side)? It doesn't feel like cramps which are just dull... but these are like a quick pinch that last for half a sec and repeat about 3 times in a row. I've had a bunch of them today and was wondering if anyone else felt this? ... I might mention that I also feel quite bloated and might be a bit constipated... not sure if this pinching has to do with this. They dont really hurt but are unconfortable, hopefully this is a normal feeling.

I had this kind of thing yesterday. It was like really quick shooting pains on my right side. It happened about 5 times but haven't had them at all today.

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Oh I'm glad I'm not the only one... it was new to me today so just wondering if it was normal.

Dying laughing! There was a day last week where I was CRAVING a beer! And I am not a drinker. Too funny.

I hear you - I am so frustrated with everyone lately and find it almost comical (when it's over) how incredibly mad I get and how quickly it happens!

Love that we all seem to be in the preggo rage stage!

 

[Luv_My_Bichon]

looley - totally understand where you're coming from, I have times like that. As for the beer -go out and get some Becks Blue alcohol free. It's lovely x

 

[Luv_My_Bichon]

p.s. I must be knackered tonight cos I've had 2 inches off my hair today and DH hasn't even noticed and I just can't be bothered about it x
