Hello all proud moms,
We are a couple in early 30s, decided this month to stop having protected sex and plan a baby. We had unprotected sex on 12th day of my menstrual cycle and I am feeling heavy in my lower abdomen (center and right side), and my vaginal opening feels full constantly after that. Its been 24 hours we had sex.Also, Having some mucous secretion everytime I go to urinate. I never had this feeling while having sex with condoms (this was my first time him coming inside me). Is this normal? Or I might be pregnant?I am freaking out as my periods are due end of this month so quite a long time before i can run a test or go to my OBGYN. Please help!! :(

What can I do next?

welcome to mamapedia!!

If you've had unprotected sex, you can be pregnant.

Don't test until you've missed a period.

For a woman in her 30s?? you type more like a teenager.

Why would you be freaking out? I know you say you're in your 30s, but how old are you really?

Discharge is from him. That doesn't mean you aren't pregnant. We have two kids. We got pregnant first try, both times. We are a fertile breed. And I knew it both times, long before I could test. I am very in tune with changes in my body. Oddly so. I even had a sense of the gender both times, and I was right.

Eta - just a thought. "A couple"? So you aren't married? Does he know you're off bc? Why are you trying for a baby if you aren't married? Dumb.

Good luck.

ETA per SWH - yep, now you get to play the waiting game. And the sex game. Stop thinking about the waiting game and just have fun with the sex game. The more you stress, the harder the wait and trickier the getting pregnant, or so they say. A watched pot never boils and all that… Chill out and just have fun!

If it has only been 24 hours there is no way your body even knows if you are pregnant. You could be, but all your symptoms are in your head.

Your English is fine. We have native English speakers who don't write as well as you do. What the ladies are not used to is writing on here as if you are texting. Texting is hard to read...

I don't know why some people jumped to the conclusion that you might be trying to get pregnant without telling your partner - that leap from what you said makes no sense to me. When a couple is excited about trying to get pregnant, it's common to get anxious and nervous. We get LOTS of "Could I be pregnant" questions here on this board, and yours won't be the last.

One of the best things you can do to help yourself get pregnant is to RELAX. If you have always used condoms, you will have to get used to the difference. It's kind of like you "leak" a bit for a while. If you weren't trying to get pregnant, you'd be running to the toilet right after intercourse so that most of it will come out right away. (It's also good to urinate right after sex to help prevent UTI's.) But to help you get pregnant, doctors say to stick a pillow under your butt and wait for a while before going to the bathroom.

Are you taking pregnancy vitamins yet? If you aren't, go get some today. Tell the pharmacist that you are trying to conceive and ask for a recommendation. Pregnancy vitamins are supposed to have folic acid, which will help prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida. Also, it will help prevent some forms of cleft palate. This is SO important in the first 8 WEEKS - the 8 week mark is where the palate actually CLOSES. The reason to take pregnancy vitamins before you get pregnant is because you could actually be 8 weeks pregnant before you even know it, and then you'd miss getting the benefit of those vitamins for everything you need them for.

Some people get very upset when they don't get pregnant right away. It doesn't help. Looking at it like a process is much better.

You know I always find it interesting when people can't wait a week or two to find out the answer to a question about a commitment that's going to last the rest your life!
I've never heard of anybody that could tell on day O. of being pregnant.
But who knows?

I have a friend who does not chew ice. She never does this.

But 4 times in her life she got up out of bed and during that day she found herself craving ice, she'd catch herself chomping ice all day for weeks and weeks. Then she'd find she was pregnant. Someone told her she was doing this because she was pregnant. She laughed at them.

BUT in each case she was. And almost to the day of when she started crunching ice like a crazed ice machine making crushed ice she went into labor and had a baby.

I know this is an exciting time for you. It sounds like you are ovulating, that usually when you have the mucus while urinating, good time to get pregnant. Being pregnant for the first time will keep you anxious the whole time, first to get pregnant, then you want to know if your baby is healthy, if it's a boy or girl, what it looks like. Try to take a few deep breaths, it will all work out before you know it.
God Bless, and have fun getting pregnant!
