Is this normal?

37w3d
Just had sexual inter course and then went the toilet and this was when I wiped
Rang triage and they told me they’re not concerned keep an eye out on the blood for any changes ect and this could be the start of labour.
But I’m still so anxious has anyone else had this?

Oh sweety don’t you worry this happens sometimes when sex has happened especially so close to baby arriving
As long as it’s not thick and dark red you are fine, but if you are still worked and anxious head to triage and don’t take NO for an answer 🙏🏾

I would put a pad on and monitor the amount you are leaking. I’ve had sex and absolutely nothings happened every time

Looks to me like just sensitive cervix (I’m NOT a medical professional though), as it’s very watery blood. Keep an eye but sex can aggravate things internally without causing any harm to baby xx

Do you think it’s weird that adults are so into their own birthdays? Like full weekends out of it, can’t do anything else because it’s their birthday month. I get like milestones birthdays (18,21,30 & 50.) but it’s not that special, right?

Only asking because my friend of 15+ years blew off my baby shower because it was her birthday weekend, not even the actual day. Her response was “I’m a Leo”

Advice

Im 38 weeks +2 pregnant, and for the past week I've suffered with tremendous pelvic girdle pain. It's become so bad that I can hardly walk without being in agony, and I'm not sleeping because of it.

I have tried all the usual recommendations, but nothing at all is easing it.

I've had some tightening across the bump all week, and baby seems to be moving very vigorously now too, which comes with the sharp crotch pain. No other signs really. I am not really sure whether to phone triage today to get advice.

Obviously, I'm due soon, so referral to physio is Obviously not an option. Do I just need to ride this out somehow? Or could I maybe get some medication to help elevate the pain?

Last night I also noticed my hands and feet getting hot.

I've contacted my midwife for advice and waiting on a response. Any advice would be very welcome as a FT mum to be.

Thank you

To scan or not to scan??

I’ve got a scan booked in 2 weeks time when I ✨ should ✨ be 8+2, however there’s a scan available today at 2pm, I’m currently 6+1…

I really want to see a heartbeat before I tell my son I’m expecting and if I measure early I’m guessing I might not see that today, on the other hand if I do it will massively reassure me… help 😱
