I am 27 weeks pregnant. I had some very light bleeding Friday night and into Saturday morning. The bleeding started after my husband and I had intercourse (sorry if that is TMI, but I think it is relevent). The bleeding has stopped but I have also noticed that I am feeling the baby move less than before. Maybe that's in my head, but I really think he is moving a lot less often than before. Should I call the doctor, or am I overreacting? My next doctor's appt is Oct 20. One more question, is it not safe for us to be having sex at this stage of the pregnancy? I have never heard that, but I am asking because the bleeding happened right afterward. Thanks.
Thank you for all your responses. I did call the doctor and she said that it is nothing to worry about and that I probably just have a very sensitive cervix. She said since it stopped quickly and it was such a small amount that I shouldn't worry. And that it is safe to have intercourse. And the baby did start moving more again. I had a lot of problems in my first pregnancy so I guess I am just a nervous nelly. A couple of people suggested orange juice to get the baby moving, I was just wondering what is it about orange juice that would make the baby move? That is so funny. :)
I had this happen ocassionaly, it is safe, but if you are going to worry then it is best to call the doctor to conform all is well then to sit and worry, worrying is not good for you or the baby.
It's very safe. I had sex up intil 30 something weeks when it got to uncomfortable to. I hear bleeding after sex is normal. How often is your baby moving? I personally think your fine, BUT I'd call just to calm your nerves and double check.
Yes, you should definitely call. Better to be safe! Don't wait.
Call the Dr to ease your worry Mom.
i would call ur ob and see what they say....i never had that problem
i also agree with all the other moms posts
deffinately call ur dr
i think if you ever have a concern, call your doc. let them decide if it's important enough to go into the office and check.
Sex is fine , unless it is painful for you. The less movement from the baby I would call the Dr about , more than likely it is nothing but you should still get it checked out.
Yes, it's safe to have sex as long as there isn't a lot of pressure on your belly. You'll have to adjust positions accordingly but as long as you're comfortable, it's okay. Some bleeding is common during pregnancy. I'd still call the doctor for your own peace of mind and either be reassured or see if they want you to come in sooner.
1. Call your MD- This is what they are there for. If you are worried call make yourself feel better. The stress can be worse than anything else.
2. Sex should not be an issue unless you are having issues, (cervical issues, preteerm labor issues or high risk preg.)
3.If sex has caused a little bit of a worry and all is cleared I would tell hubby not so deep and not too ruff.
Put your mind at easy my dear and get baby checked out. Do not be emarrassed, and to not feel ashamed to give the MD details.
Good Luck and I am praying that all is well, please let us know.
Sex is absolutely OK up until you go into labor. I would check with your doctor just to ease your mind about the level of movement. Stress is not good for you!
Totally safe to have sex, and you're probably still in the super randy stage of pregnancy too where all your hormones are raging and your tummy isn't too big yet, so go for it!! Also, bleeding after intercourse is also normal. I would bet that your baby isn't moving less, you're probably just stressed out and worried about it or, the baby has just shifted and maybe you can't feel it as well because of how it's laying in there. BUT, if you're worried, just call the doctor. I'm sure they will see you if you're nervous, they are used to it and it's better for your peace of mind!
Other than the first 3 months, I haven't heard of bleeding after exersion (including sex). I'd call the doctor. They should be able to answer this on the phone as to whether or not you should be checked or not.
You'll always feel better after you call your doctor. However, I had intercourse during my 3 pregnancy all the way up to 40 weeks, it can bring on labor, I was hoping for that. I do remember having bleeding with my last child during the middle, my doctor said it was fine and wasn't worried about it. When I couldn't feel my babies as much as I use too, I would drink orange juice it made them move all around.
If you have any concern call your Dr. Sorry to be rude, you have to remember we are moms even if someone says they are a professional you have to take advice carefully. I have never had bleeding in my pregnancies so I would rather a Dr tell me I am ok then being worried. Good luck!!
If you have doubt about whether or not to call the doctor, call him. If nothing else, they can give you peace of mind. More than likely, they will have you come in to hear the heartbeat or something. You are not overreacting when you are concerned about your baby. Bleeding in pregnancy is not a normal thing. Yes, it can happen and be nothing, but it can be something. I would have it checked out.
