Hand hold

[Hulaballoo]

I'm 18 weeks and just wiped and a small bit of brown in my discharge. I'm petrified. This is my rainbow baby
... My lower tummy feels tight and stretchy feeling but the more I think about the more I can feel it. Last couple of days I've been fooling around with DH... First time to such an extent this pregnancy. No sex though but got excited and moved about a lot in bed... Worried I've done some sort of damage...Dh on top but not full weight at one point and more near my thighs than on bump. So scared ladies. I'm out with DDs until 7:30 so. There's nothing I can do until then. Panicking.Anyone had this or any words of advice?

Have you tried ringing out of hours gp or maybe maternity

I had some bright red blood at 19+6 last year, I absolutely shit myself. I called triage who told me to put a pad on and ring back an hour later. No more blood and I’m watching my 8 month old as I type.

I had some bloody discharge at around 19/20w with my DS after a busy day of walking all around town. I sent a photo to my OB and she wasn’t concerned at all - just told me to let her know if it happened again. My belief is that it was either a tiny bit of my plug or I had just irritated my cervix some how.

Baby is so well protected in there, please try not to worry. Speak to your midwife for some reassurance but the chances are that everything is absolutely fine.

Thank you, I've been super busy today.... Still out now doing kids activities... Not home for another hour. Tummy feels tight almost like braxton h but it's too early for that. Feels tender BH but not cramps. Almost feels like baby is squirming around in there.It was a very small amount... Like a needle sized amount, stringy bit in it.... Trying to stay calm. It's so hard.

Back home, just texted MW so waiting for a reply... Don't like the tender feeling... Think I need to lie down for a bit 😕

Lovely if you're worried you need to phone the out of hours/delivery suite or triage rather than text your midwife as she might not reply as she may have finished for the day. (You should have a number in your notes for a 24 hour service0
A lot of the feelings you're describing sound perfectly normal and sex etc in pregnancy is perfectly safe
...baby is well protected but definitely give the unit a ring if you're worried.

Mw called back and advised to call epu. Called epu and they suggested lactulose and to have urine tested at doctors... Off to do that. Tenderness still here but no more brown discharge. Hopefully all ok.
