Have been meaning to catch up on persies - been bogged down by work. But now, need to do a "me" post...
This morning when I wiped I got the tiniest bit of pale pink-tinged CM. First time it has happened this PG and there was no BD or anything else that might have interfered with the cervix (which I know is a very sensitive muscle).
As most of you know, I am a bit paranoid about my cervix shortening/dilating prematurely due to my history. Apparently pink-tinged and blood-stained mucous can be a sign of capillaries breaking while the cervix begins to open. But, I have not had it happen again today (I haven't had much CM to speak of lately anyway).
Emailed my Ob earlier, but still waiting to hear back from him. Has this happened to any of you guys in your second trimester?
WTH, I've only had it once and it was straight after DTD. Can you ring your ob and speak to him personally rather than waiting for an E-mail response at all? I would be pushy if you are worried KWIM? I know my ob would not be worried in the least for me to ring him. Maybe they could squeeze you in for a scan tomorrow? I hope its nothing for you to worry about
Megsmum - you know the worry wart I am . Maybe this is a common thing - feel a little stupid to ring him when there may not be a problem happening at all IYKWIM.
Yeah I know But honestly if it were me I'd be on the phone, the only reason I didn't panic was because we had just DTD and it stopped pretty much straight away. I really do think that the only silly question is the one you don't ask, maybe he could pull some strings and get your cervix checked tomorrow? At least that way you will more than likely have your mind put at rest, you don't want to spend the next couple of days worrying - your next scan is on Fri isn't it?
You're right, so I rang. Ob wants to see me, but he now has two women in labour so I am on standby this evening until he has seen to them. Scan is next Tuesday - six sleeps so a little too long to wait. Thanx hun
Given your history my love I would phone - and ask for an u/s. You are right that often scant pink discharge can mean that a cervix is dilating... HOWEVER!
It can happen with no known cause in healthy pregnancy. I understand your concerns and I would be feeling anxious also.
sometimes some thrush can cause irritation - sometimes just the increased blood supply to the area can cause it too...
Good girl Trust me you have done the right thing! I'm sure you don't need me to say this, but make sure you push him for a scan tomorrow OK? I assumed you were still having the Friday scans but I know if it were me and I had to wait until next Tues I would be a total basket case! And if there is a problem then at least he can deal with it ASAP. I'm sure you and bub will be fine but better to be safe than sorry....LMK how you get on OK?
Meredith - Always thinking of you. So happy your little girl is strong - she will hang on! Take care of yourself.
Congratulations Jenushka - awesome news!!!!!!
WTH - Hope you are feeling better. Take care xxx
Deejoy - Hope you have recovered after your gastro. Thinking of you.
Megsmum and erybery - Hi. Hope you are both keeping well.
I have been in bed the last week with a really bad case of the flu. I was put on antibiotics (which stressed me out) and I am finally on the med. Actually got out of bed today!
Our bub is doing well. Strong heartbeat and very active. It is a relief to feel bub moving! We are only going to go to a max of 37 weeks so not that long to go now. Last day of work on the 7th August and I can't wait!
Anyway - I am going back to bed. Just know I am thinking of you all
cant wait to hear news
