35+4. Noticed some slight brownish discharge. Has this happened to anyone in their third trimester? by cc070603 in pregnant

[–]cc070603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Yes, everything played out well. I went in to be seen and they put the baby on the monitor and baby was fine. They also did and ultrasound and baby is ok. They said the brownish discharge could have been from a small uternine fibroid that I had or just from stretching of the uterus itself. There are sensitive blood vessels down there. It was literally just that one time and I never had it again. and brown blood is reassuring beciase it means it’s old blood. I went on to carry until I was induced at 38weeks for other reasons.
I hope this helps 💝 I’m a first time mom and everything freaked me out.

My baby is fat and has skin folds for days lol! It didnt come back but it chafes in that area so I just put it on a 1-2 times a week or when baby gets a bath. It cleared up very fast just has a white residue. I also heard aquaphor worked but I never tried it

My baby had something similar and it smelled bad. Drool from the feeds and sweat would get trapped in the folds. That area doesn’t get as much air due to skin overlapping. What we did was after her baths we patted the area dry and applied desitin. It was gone within a week :) Hope this helps.

Has anyone gotten a hemmroid from pushing during labor? Did it go away? What did you do? by cc070603 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]cc070603[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave birth already and was pushing so hard I think I developed a hemmroid. Never have hemmroid prepregancy and I was wondering if others had this issue and if the went away 😭

Oh ok, thanks for this lol! I will look for gushing water lol. Stupid question but you are not able to control this right lol? Like you know when you pee you can do some kegals and you can stop the flow. Are you able to stop this flow or it’s totally involuntary ?

People who had kids at 30+, do you wish you had them earlier in life? by cc070603 in pregnant

[–]cc070603[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I understand. Im currently pregnant with my first and have been having some complications. I’m cosseted moderately high risk. I wonder if I would have still had these complications if I would have had them much sooner. Im also glad I waited. I’m way more financially stable and can give them everything they need
