Thanks Dusty, there sure will be some bubs born in this new thread!!
Just jumping aboard this new thread ladies, looks like I finally caught a bit of a cold which I have been ducking for weeks
At this stage haven't taken anything as it is only a runny nose and my left ear is a little soar..but I don't think there is much I can take so I will ride it out over the weekend.
Hi again,
another curly one for you girls if you don't mind. Do you remember/know when you can DTD once you're pg? It's too late cos I've done it (sorry for tmi) but got a fair bit of fresh red blood about an hour later. Now of course feeling pretty worried but thought I remembered reading somewhere that it's all a bit sensitive and that bleeding is okay...god I hope so. we were never told anything about when to do it or not and now feeling ripped off
Hope you have some good news for me cos right now not sure if I still have baby or babies on board and not feeling crash hot.
Murph - there isn't any real reason to NOT DTD unless you've been advised by your doctors due to recurrent miscarriage issues. the cervix forms a protective plug, and unless you're having very hard/violent sex your embryo is going to be very well protected in there. the cervix has a larger volume of blood pumping through it (everything down there does!) so you can sometimes bruise and the bruises will actually bleed kwim?
i've not abstained during the pg, as petrified as i was a the start - i just wanted to feel normal after everything we've been through - we just made sure to be a little bit more careful to make sure not to go at things too hard - DH was really good and if i say to be gentle, he changes what is happening so as not to make me uncomfy.
FWIW - i've heard that orgasm causes the uterus to contract a little and give the baby a "cuddle" - so i think we're just teaching our gremlin about affection from a really young age!! and the increased blood flow means O is more intense most of the time so it's the most enjoyable time to dtd!
Hey Briggsys Girl,
cool, thanks for making me smile I think I'll put those new fears to rest now. I've been reading around the net but you can be as careful as you want and still not guarantee a smooth ride. I agree with you, I just felt so good to feel normal, which you don't get when you're packed with pessaries half your life.
I'll put myself and the computer to bed now. Thanks again.
Hi girls
Just jumping aboard the new thread too. Have my first OB appt tomorrow, so looking forward to that. Just waiting to get to the 12 week mark to relax... at least somewhat.
Hope you're all well.
