15 weeks update -
Okay so it's not been a great week for me. I am incredibly anxious this week. This is the first time I've not had a scan every two weeks and I think it's getting to me a bit. Also, I don't quite know how to explain this but I'll try anyway. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this if you can. Beware though this might be
TMI for some, I'm sorry if it is.
On Saturday my husband and I were having sex. We were not doing anything drastic, or crazy, just normal lazy day kind of thing. Anyhow, I lost some fluid. That's the only way I can describe it. I suddenly felt like I had water running out of me. It only lasted a few seconds but as I sat up, a little bit more came away. I know it wasn't urine, although I checked the sheet for smell, and there was no smell. My husband felt it happening too. We both tried to play it down, and talk each other out of worrying but by Sunday morning I knew I had to call the hospital. Believe it or not I still don't have a midwife at this point, I'm due to meet her on 1st September.
As usual on a Sunday, no-one is there. After a lot of embarrassing explanations to all and sundry I was finally put through to a gynaecologist who said as long as it wasn't continuing then I wasn't to worry about it. She also reassured me (!) by reminding me that there wasn't much they could do for my baby at this stage anyway. But then don't worry if you are not bleeding or cramping. Oh and by the way, we won't be able to scan you today anyway. Honestly, our hospitals think everyone is just after a free scan, and it makes me annoyed that they don't really show any interest.
So I left it at that. I didn't really have any other choice. It has put me in a real downer now and my anxiety has risen again.
I just need to wait til next week and speak to the midwife and see what she says. Although, I am thinking that if she can't put my mind at rest sufficiently, then I will pay for a private scan again. I don't want to get to 20 weeks and find out things have gone wrong.
In other matters, I actually feel more sick than I've done for a while, I have to pee frequently, and I want to eat ice.
So that's my update this week. Not great huh?

I honestly wouldn't worry about it. All the way through this pregnancy I have had tons of discharge and leakage. Every time I go to the toilet (which is VERY often) I sit down and I leak a bit of something or other. It's completely normal and I doubt you have anything at all to worry about. If it worries you stop having sex for a while until you have another scan. I know it's hard not getting in a state over things when you've been through loses but you are doing great and there is nothing to worry about. xx

I really hope everything is alright with bub and that your midwife will be able to put your mind at ease and give you an ultrasound. As with the ice thing I had it with DD from about 28 weeks onwards. It was summer and I craved ice all day long and sometimes at night 2.

one more point : ) it is important to check with a doctor if you ever feel a 'gush' of liquid - it's always worth getting a professional opinion! I had this 'gush' happen to me at 12 weeks pregnant, and was diagnosed at the ER with a Skene's gland *ahem*... 'emission'

Wow, that's an interesting explanation from Diane.. I do hope all is well with you and baby. I imagine there is no more sex in your house for a while. We have had none since I got pregnant due to a slight spotting here and then - just don't want to take any risks. Let us know how it goes next week. Thinking of you and wishing you all the best. xox

Well, so much for some nice relaxing 'love in the afternoon!!' You know what it sounds like happened? Your uterus is now putting pressure on your Skene's gland (sometimes associated with G-Spot orgasms) and the pressure of the baby combined with the pressure caused by the act of intercourse might have led you to expel some fluid contained in the gland area. It is essentially water, and does not come from the uterus or from your bladder. You don't even need to have had an orgasm for the Skene's gland to 'release' - just pressure on the area can cause it to let go. Here is a little more info on the Skene's gland from Wikipedia.................... Links between G-Spot sensitivity and female ejaculation have led to the idea that non-urine female ejaculate might originate from the female paraurethral glands, or Skene's gland: in a study by Tepper et al., tissue from 18 patients was examined and 15 showed prostate-specific antigens.[12] More recent studies have backed up this finding, leading some to call the Skene's glands the female prostate.[13] Consequently, it has been argued that the G-spot is a system of glands and ducts located within the anterior (front) wall of the vagina, about one centimeter from the surface and one third to one-half the way in from the vaginal opening.[14] A similar approach has linked the G-Spot with the urethral sponge.[15](me again).... Sorry you are feeling the stress of not getting reassurance from and u/s but hang in there! It sounds like everything is perfect with you and baby!
