As a general rule, if you're not bleeding you're safe (and even if you are bleeding, things could very well be normal anyway). It doesn't matter that the sonographer pushed down on your tummy during the u/s, theres fat and muscle and amniotic fluid, not to mention the bones of the pelvis, protecting the embryo. Hope that helps.
thanks girls.. i didnt think that there was damage to bub.. just thought that it may have triggered cramps... trying hard to take it easy.. cramps have stopped but come and go so i think your right my body is just adjusting
i'll let you know that they keep going. af-type cramping comes and go through at least the first tri - i'm still getting them now - it's stressful to say the least!
it will get easier to trust your body over a period of time - but you'll have days where you doubt everything - well, i have!
thank u briggsy's girl.. the crampping has subsited over the past few days.. u can feel slight pulls here and there..
my dr sentm e for bloods this morning to check hormone levels and will get me to do another one on wednesday..
but just now i just went to the loo and i had spotting.. about the size of my little finger's nail so tiny.. in umongst mucus.. should i be worried.. should i go to the dr? i have no pain at the moment so i wouldnt think i am M/C.. i know other woman spott right through their pregnancy sometimes..
i know this may sound corny but now that im UTD i really want this buba!
keep an eye on the bleeding - it's possible it's old blood from implantation. it's possible your cervix was bruised during the u/s. if it continues call doc for your own reassurance
tahnk u.. its stopped nwo and only happed the once..
ive been told by a close friend that i shouldnt be doing any physical activity in the first trimester.. i wanted to do aqua as i love it or walking.. will this do any harm?
Amsta re the aqua or walking - were you quite active before you got preg?
Personally I keep exercising all thru preg (although I am v tired atm so finding it hard) - swimming, yoga etc are great as is walking (as long as you dont get pelvic pain later). I would ask your Dr if you are concerned but you should be ok as long as you take it easier, make sure you dont overheat and watch your heart rate.
Some classes (e.g. preg yoga) want you to wait til 14 wks...
But imo if you can remain a little active you are going to feel a lot better. i always felt better last preg if i went for a swim or a walk or did some activity! you need to be fit for labour after all!!
