So I had my first cervical check first thing this morning and have been having cramps ever since. Feels like period cramps but it's literally been happening all day. Has this happened to anyone else? My doctor mentioned that spotting was normal but didn't say anything about cramping.

@AnastasiaBeaverhausen09 I was really crampy for most of the day after my cervical check. If it persists there's no harm in calling your doctor though to make sure it's normal!
I felt a 'pop' today. I often feel various cracks in my body (especially in my back) but this was different.. more in my abdomen? I'm not worried too much as it could have been any number of things, and I'm definitely not leaking anything, but it was a little strange!
A jug of warm water and a lovely smelling shower gel inside is the way to go, not only do you feel fresh as a daisy afterwards but it stops any odours(and ladies u get to rinse down said butt crack too). Oh and make sure to have a small hand towel afterward for drying. Since I've been cleaning myself this way I haven't experienced thrush in years, plus if you do have a yeast problem wet wipes can make it worse and they have always caused me problems, like stinging. But u can substitute the shower gel for a feminine wash.
I'm not sure why anyone would think this is a good idea! The bottles even say for EXTERNAL use only.. I just cringed reading this post, sorry.
Lol.. Well I don't wash internally..... I pour and wipe.... So when you wipe, u go all up in there????

@AdorkablePixie Just the thought of any form of soap product "all up in there" makes my eyes water. i just like to feel fresh, and wipes don't cut it for me.

Obviously use soap for that area, but not IN your vagina. Do you not normally wash there....? I'm confused..
@JessicaB0627 I assumed she meant internally since she used the word "inside" in the original post which was why I made my comment about it being unsafe. @bigmomma14 clairified saying it's only a pea sized amount. she's since changed it saying she only wipes with shower gel.
Regardless of the intention I just hope no one reads this and goes shoving shower gel up their vaginas in an attempt to be clean...it's not good for you.
My moms boyfriends crazy aunt once thought you got cervical cancel by not washing your hoo-haa. Just saying... Maybe babymomma is onto something
This reminds me of a story about my grandma. She lived with us when I was in high school and she and I shared a bathroom upstairs. For some reason that I can't remember she needed to visit a gynecologist (she was in her 70's at the time). She was worried about having an odor down there so she got in my cabinet and sprayed what she assumed was a deodorant spray in that area and went on to the appointment with my mom.
When they came home a while later they were both in tears laughing so hard. It turned out that what she sprayed down there was a gold glitter body spray that I used to use for cheerleading events. The doctor (a male) said when he saw, " oh, fancy!" This alarmed my mom and she asked what was going on and they all had a good laugh.
@txmamatobe where can I get this glitter spray you speak of? Maybe I can use it as a distraction/cover up for all the stretch marks and other craziness going on down there. Really wow my OB during birth.
Speaking of vags... Anyone else really tired of getting punched in the vagina all the time. This kid is gonna bruise me.
I'm fairly sure this kid has her hands above her head and then pushes down really hard. It literally feels like she's going to claw her way out and IT HURTS!

Even if I thought this may be a good idea... I don't think there's room to shove anything else up there!

I've decided I'm done with pants at this point, unless they are pj pants at home. All my maternity pants are feeling uncomfortable, and I feel like a barge drifting at sea anyway, so I'm just rolling in skirts and maxi dresses from this point on. Cue the tug boat noises.
Also, yes to the vag punches. It's been going on for a few weeks now, and she likes to throw knees in my ribs at the same time so that I crumble over a counter or stagger in shock. Bring on the countdown!!
Re: Kick counts. I think everyone's doctor tells them to do different things. Mine says 10 kicks within a 24hour timeframe. I thought I had misunderstood and I asked again and got the same answer. So I think all doctors are different, just like they are different in which medications they prescribe.
I actually went in today because I wasn't feeling as much movement (did the cold water / juice + laying on my side for a kick count in the morning - didn't make much of a difference). Of course, the second they got me strapped up to the monitors Baby started going like gangbusters. Maybe we should name this baby Murphy.

Same here ... Can't do the maternity pants anymore, I'm not sure what happened but they got super uncomfortable and awkward all of a sudden. Going to rotate the same maxi skirts and dresses until im off work . Feeling very barge like as well .
On the vag pain...I'm getting these sudden shooting pains that take my breath away. They last just an instant but are sharp and powerful. I'm guessing the famed "lightning crotch?" I wouldn't describe it as being "punched" in the vagina, though. More like being shocked there. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Ok. WATER, (soap/shower wash, if you do/do not wish)JUG,,POUR OVER MOOCH..... TA DAAA.
if u have torn or have had epiostomy , you do this while your peeing, it doesn't burn!!!!! Pish is acid, so this neautralises it.
Yeah, I think most of us had read your original post wrong.. when you said "shower gel inside," you meant inside the jug, not inside the vag. Makes much more sense now.
I just emailed my friend to tell her there was a giant drunk monkey in my stomach. I felt that basically summed it up. Seriously, people at work stare at my stomach moving. It is equally fascinating and disgusting to me.
IDK about anyone else but all of sudden my hands are stiff and achy. They aren't anymore swollen then they have been over the past couple weeks since I have not been able to get my rings on.

Same! I've noticed this over the last week or so. And mine aren't super swollen either. Just enough to make my rings uncomfortable. I have to slowly bend and straighten my fingers in the mornings until they feel a bit less stuff, and they stay sore all day. Is this kind of like the carpal tunnel thing?

Same here too! I found a yoga move where you move your fingers up and down while also turning your wrists, that seems to help me.

This started for me this weekend. Sucks.

Same. I stretch my fingers and make fists periodically throughout the day to stretch them out. I'm going to say this is why I've been dropping/knocking things over so much recently.

Yes exactly! I also get this a little further back in the anal region, which is super pleasant.

OMG This happens to me too! I feel like the inside of my vag has this terrible muscle spasm real quick (sometimes I feel it in between there and the anal region too). It's quite painful, but luckily goes away as fast as it comes on usually.
