Weird Pain/ sensations

[Missymay]

Hi,

I know everyone will say this is just normal, but I am 17 wks pregnant and have been getting a sensation like I my cervix is been rubbed, the kind of sensation you get ( or maybe not, might be just me) the kind of sensation you get when you get a smear test. Has anyone else experienced this, love to know what it is.

Also have a red streak around and down my breasts, the doctors do not know what it is. Its a bit itchy and sore. Anyone throw light on this.

Hi Missy, sorry I havent experienced any of these but please see your doctor if you have any concerns and dont be googling medical stuff on the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure they are just pregnancy bodily changes etc etc 😀

Hi Happymumblemum,

I know you are right, cause I did Google it and other problems and the information I got back was really scary. I have said it to Doctor but they dont know what it is, you know what doctors are like, if you say I woke up with a third eye in the middle of my forehead they would say oh thats normal in pregnancy! I will pester my doc about this pain though.

Hi there I do know during pregnancy all areas down there are more senstive, this might be the cause of your rubbing pain! TMI question, have you noticed a hightened pleasure while having sex ❓ If so this might be the reason, your just more in tune with you body

I had red marks like that on my breast and was getting really worried, but it turned out to be my M&S bras that were causing the mark. The gp thought it was a bruse, it was there for weeks. I changed my bras and it vanished.

[happymumblemum]

yes just………… keep hassling doctor and dont forget no googling i had a first hand scary experience googling and frighteneed ny self half to death over something really stupid 😳
keep a close eye

[Missymay]

SEX!!! WHATS SEX!

I cant even think about that, some day maybe when I am older!! My mother would be proud. 😆

The sensation is while I am resting I am wondering is it the baby rubbing or kicking against this area and I have changed loads of bras cause I thought that might have an effect, but no joy.

I am going to harass the doctor and I will stay away from the Google cause it is very scary what it tells you and because I am feeling pretty anxious at this time it does not help. will resist Googling.

dont mind taylor missy she is a sexaholic 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆

yes stay away from google 😆

maybe your boobs are just a bit red from getting bigger with the preg …do you use non bio powder your skin may have become extra sensitve since preg

[Taylor5]

Sexaholic I wish 🙄
Its either a feast or a famine, dh on nights and sleeping in the other room…. so sex off the menu here!

[Missymay]

Actually I never thought of the non bio washing powder, will try it, I will try anything now, My sister said use cabbage leaves, so thats why I log onto this forum, because of mad advice like that, I know that is useful for Mastitis (sorry might have spelt wrong). But if i dont have Mastitis and some kind of allergy then cabbage leaves are not an inviting prospect.

How can I consider sex, I have thrush constantly and throbbing red boobies I could be seen from space if I stripped off 😯

Thanks for advice I went to docs last night have kidney infection and he was walking to the door as he gave me my prescription so I felt a bit shy to stop him and say please look at my boobs. 😳 Have to get assertive and thick skinned.

[happymumblemum]

do you think possibly you may have a thrush infection on your boobies?????????? as you mentioned you have reucuuring thrush ..i suffered badly with this for years until it got to the point i thought i was seriously ill but a trip to the docs and one tablet cured me COMPLETELY with no reoccurence not sure if you can take that particular tablet when pregnant but please check.. do not suffer in silence with thrush it is a nightmare when prolonged. Dont be embarassed at docs having a look ( you will have worse to come best to practice 😆 ) and it could sort out one problem for you.

ps. try canesten cream on your red boobies ( cant hurt) but for down there get something stronger if you can as i found it c**p for bad thrush TBH.

Hope this helps but dont forget that my advice would be much the same as googling so please again see your doctor, just giving my own experiences.
Good luck let me know how oyu get on

[happymumblemum]

P.s buy a softer bra and wash in non bio plus get yourself measured properly you have probably grown loads even if you dont realise. Forget underwires for a bit 😆

[Missymay]

thanks again, but I have tried the canesten on the boobs and to no avail, I wear really soft huge bras now and they have helped but still red.

I actually had a bit of a think about the doc I attended on Thurs and I got a bit upset about it because when I went into the surgery he sat down and said while reading some results what is wrong with you, I asked what he meant and he said I had another UTI and he asked if I knew why I was getting so many infections!!!! I said no and he said well the next test you take make sure to have a wash and dont put your finger in the urine sample container!!!!

The cheek of the man, I cant stop washing (only with cool water) to relieve the thrush and I am not some dozey ape who cant use a sample pot. Feel as though he blames me for the infections which is very upsetting because I have become hyper alert to germs since the beginning of my pregnancy I even carry Demestos bleach wipes in my bag. Whats wrong with doctors they can be so hurtful. No wonder I didnt want to show him my sore boobs!!!

[Taylor5]

Missymay that wasnt a nice thing to say at all 😯
Is it a UTI or a bladder infection your getting?
As for the trush a few tips, stop washing as often as you will be washing good bactria away, only wear cotton pants and skirts rather then trousers, it wouldnt do any harm to go comando when at home 😆 😆 😆 The more fresh area to the area the better.
You say you have had UTI and most likely on Antibiotics, this can cause trush.
Did the doc say its safe to use Canesten, you may need the pessery to get rid of it. ( I’ll dig out my collage notes and see what they say)

The UTI could be due to could be due to empting the bladder too often or not fully, this can cause the urine to turn rancid and cause infections, when on the loo pee then wait 20 seconds and try pee again. Drink plenty of water and Cranberry
Good luck and hope you get this sorted

[Missymay]

Its been UTI’S I have been getting. Congenitally I have an enlarged kidney with an extra tube and this has caused me to have severe infections when I was younger. But the doctor doesn’t seem to get the connection, I drink buckets of cranberry juice and I have only treated the thrush after I use anti bio. I hate using those pessary’s feels invasive to the baby.

I have turned into Howard Hughes since seeing the doc, he made me feel a bit horrible and considering I have been called Monica (from friends because of my obsessive cleaning) he hit a nerve. Think the doc was in bbad humour and bit spiteful, nice to have on my side 🙄

Not sure about the Commando bit around the house 🙂 but will do so in bed.

UTI – to prevent reacourance

*Don’t use any smellys/bubble bath/shower gel while washing ‘down there’
*Drink plenty of water (2 litres a day)
*Eat pro biotic yogurt
*Cotton knickers/or none
*Don’t eat anything acidic apples, tomatoes,
*Avoid sugar as much as possible especially fizzy drinks
*urinate before & after sex

Hope this helps
