Sperm washing away while soaking in bath????

I am a religious bath taker! We've been trying to conceive for a couple of years and I just had a thought ..... I wonder if the sperm that's in my tract from my fertile period is washing away in the tub??? I get water entrapment from pelvic floor issues, so could water seep up far enough and leak in where the sperm are??? Has anyone heard any information or spoken to their doctor about this or similar?

If you were to take a bath right after having sex then it will wash away a lot all the stuff in the vagina. But it’s not gonna wash away the stuff that had already gone up into the tubes. I would just wait like 30 min to take a bath or something. But I also find that very gross. Having sex and then having tons of sperm in you and then you bath in it and it just comes out. I would shower first then bathe

Idea for you! I used a period cup to keep the sperm up there overnight, some people say it helps keep them close to the cervix and there’s no harm. You could use one while you’re in the tub and even after. Hope that helps!

I would not take a bath. But if you do the period cup method mentioned I would make sure the water is it too hot

I’ve watched videos from some doctors on the FLO app that said those little swimmers travel within seconds and that taking a bath afterwards wouldn’t affect it any. Also mentioned the period cups and they said those shouldn’t be use for that purpose but I had always thought the same about baths and such so just do what you feel is best !

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Constant braxton hicks!

I’m 29 weeks tomorrow and they are constant especially when I’m walking about!

This didn’t start happening until I was like 36 weeks with my son 😩

Anyone else the same?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
