21 - there is a huge increase in blood flow to your cervix at this stage - anything will irritate it - don't fixate on the small amount of blood - many ladies have bleeds and nothin happens. i would say your cervix is a bit sensitive - don't poke around up there any more!!!

fwiw - my ob said that "mild pain is normal - everything is stretching. pain that comes and goes is likely braxton hicks. pain in the absence of blood is ok. blood in the absence of pain (if a small amount) is normally ok. you need to seek help if: you have regular pain that is intensifying - like contractions - or continuous pain over a period of more than an hour. or heavy bleeding". he was fantastic at laying it on the line

go have a look in the pg threads - there are HEAPS of ladies that have had bleeding in early pg - there is a whole sticky thread devoted to it!

Nixon - table looks good hun
