Morning everyone,

I will start by saying, I am currently on pregnancy #4, I have no babies with me at this point. So, needless to say I am a total stress ball, and I have zero comprehension of what's actually normal in pregnancy anymore! I've got just a couple questions that are burning on my mind until I can see my OBGYN next week. Also, I find it more imformative getting advice from ladies with experience, rather than a Dr. with a book
So, I am 15w3d, and a few things that have been changing/popping up.
*I have a constant urge to pee lately, almost feels like a UTI, however, I was tested a week ago for infections and have not heard back with bad results. Isn't this supposed to subside somewhat at this point, not get worse?
*When urinating, there is quite a lot of discharge, which I was told is mostly due to the cerclage stitch I had placed 3 weeks ago. It has thinned out quite a bit just over the past day or two. Normal discharge change?
*Last night, I thought my underwear looked quite wet, so I had a very restless sleep, positive I was leaking amniotic fluid (happened in my last pregnancy at 16 weeks), however, there was no gush, not even a trickle on underwear since, however I have a constant wet feeling down there, when I check-all is fine.
*sharp shooting pain going up vagina? I've seen it best described at "lightning bolt"
*what feels like a runners cramp up high, every so often?
*And finally, for those at home doppler users (Guilty!!) Where abouts are you locating the fetal heartbeat around 15 weeks? I am very paranoid that it's too low, and my baby is going to come thru my stitch. I am locating it just below the halfway point between my belly button and pubic line.

Sorry for the long post, I know most others don't pay much attention to these long ones, haha, hopefully a few of you will catch this one though. I am extremely paranoid, stressed out, and convinced something is going wrong every day

I had to pee really often in 1st tri, and then it went completely away. Then a week around 14-15 I had to pee often again. Then it went away again. Now I just feel like I have to go sometimes, and then its like a teaspoon. LOL On all the ultrasounds he's breeched, and I'm assuming he's sitting on or close to my bladder.

Discharge. Holy batman, the discharge. :wacko: I don't even know what to say except, wear a panty liner. :shrug:

Sometimes I feel really wet, and its clear. But then I wipe to check and its discharge. Or...um...I maybe was sweating a bit. :blush:

Never get any pain in the vagina. So can't help you there.

That runner's cramp I think is round ligament pain. I get it if I cough, sneeze, stand up or roll over too suddenly. Totally normal. And in my opinion, painful!!

I have a doppler and even now, I find his heartbeat below my belly button. From week 10-14 it was still pretty close to the pubic line. And then it got higher and higher.

I think I answered most of your questions. Best of luck, and hope you have a very uneventful wonderful pregnancy. :)
 
Thank you!! I snuck in for a Dr.'s appt this afternoon, and he seemed to think most of my symptoms are normal. I am meeting him at the hospital after work so he can do the swab test and ferning, and some blood and urine tests. I am crapping my pants from the nerves and anxiety!
 
Best of luck!! I'm sure everything will be fine. All your symptoms sound totally normal. :)
