Hi ladies,
Just letting you in on what’s been happening with me lately, I’m 15w3d with my second, at 12w I started spotting (pink-ish/brown) with discharge and this was 2 days after DH and I had intercourse. I freaked out!! I went to the nearest clinic and had an US , baby was happily playing and turning and everything looked ok, heartbeat was 156. The OB couldn’t tell what seemed to be the problem but could also see that my placenta was a little low and thought intercourse must have irritated my cervix and placenta being low is the only reason that could make sense at the time, she asked me to not have intercourse until further notice and had prescribed “Duphaston” to take twice a day. Everything was ok after that. I kept having brown discharge for a week after that my OB said it was normal it's probably old blood from the spotting that was still trapped inside. Last week at 14w4d I had spotted again, I didn’t have intercourse and was always taking it easy and resting and eating well and out of no where, I was at work I felt something that didn’t feel right and went to the toilet and to my surprise I had a huge mucus-plug like texture pink in color (sorry TMI) and a lot more than the last time on the tissue paper!!! I freaked out and lucky for me my OB was open for an appointment an hour after that. Oh I was cramping too! So I went in and I had another US baby looked fine heartbeat 155 and my OB had scheduled a sono a week after that to check my placenta and cervix, she also had prescribed a shot once a week for about 3 weeks (I’m assuming it’s a progesterone shot) and said to keep taking the Duphaston tablets and of course my prenatal vitamins and iron tablets as my hemoglobin is low (9.8). I had the sono the doctor asked for on Sunday and baby looked fine playing as usual very active and got to see him/her on 3D!! baby has cute cheeks already and was kicking and lifting his head up and down and making cute fists with it’s little hands, strong heartbeat!! It was just amazing to see my baby all well and happy. I’m now waiting for a phone call from my OB on the full result of the sono (fingers crossed). Has any one gone through this and can relate? I need reassurance and just knowing that I’m not alone will make me feel much better
